T Minus 12 Hours...

...until the movers arrive. The packing continues apace, although we've got a couple of miles to go before we sleep. The Husband just stepped out to Target to purchase some more packing tape....

In other exciting (but unnerving) news, both The Girl and The Boy are in the process of being enrolled in the public school. The Girl passed her language assessment today with flying colours; no real surprise there, although I was a tad concerned that she was at a disadvantage being tested at the end of summer with two months since her last day in an immersion experience. That said, I'm guessing not a whole lot of not-quite-second-graders are reading and writing both French and English and writing in cursive, so there wasn't a pressing reason to get overly anxious.

And, to our surprise, a half-day kindergarten spot has opened, which we promptly snapped up. We definitely would prefer full days, but that's yet another waiting list, so we'll get ourselves onto that one and register in the meantime for the off-site childcare for half-day kindergarten kids. Of course, given the way things are going, we'll have just started into that routine and then we'll find a spot open up in full-day kindergarten and wash, rinse, repeat.

So, lots of turmoil here, but things are definitely easier this time around (thanks Richard!). It's not a strange city, we both have jobs we know and like, and we have all our belongings, including both cars. Much for which to be thankful.

We'll be shutting down the internet sometime tonight and, although we have a hook-up appointment scheduled for tomorrow at the new place, I'm no holding my breath that I'll be back on the grid anytime soon.

And with that, off to once again reduce my belongings to a pile of boxes....
