36. Leaving Kookaburra Nook

Leaving Kookaburra Nook

From the moment we moved into our home, I have never envisioned ever leaving it.

Today, bar none, is the lowest point for me in this entire experience. I actually felt physically ill when I woke up and remembered that today was moving out day.

All of our possessions which we have been sorting, cleaning, packing and cataloging for the past two months had to either leave with us today or be put into storage in our master bedroom (the only room not on the builders scope of works) until we return at the end of May. 

To pack up an entire household of belongings when you have been in the same house for 15 years is tough, to do it with four children including a one year old, when you don’t want to leave, has been a nightmare. Physically, I am exhausted on a level that I never even knew existed.

I have tried so hard to be brave and strong but today I cried.
