For the past few weeks I've not had to cook as often as I used to because we've been having dinners with friends and I must say its as though my stomach and taste buds have been extremely thankful for that! 

We also held a garage sale last weekend and managed to clear away most of the items which we do not intend to bring home with us to Singapore.  Although our packing is almost done, there's still a lot of detailed labeling and filling up of forms to do.  Homeschooling the kids while trying to cook, clean, pack and take care of the family's needs is quite a challenge but its the thought of going home soon that causes me to have trouble sleeping at night. There's so much that I can't bear to leave behind here......
