Arrived, survived, saved by nanny's arrival

So! We are here. In our new house, new country.

It's been over three weeks since our family officially relocated.

For me, it's been less about being in a new country than about surviving these weeks in a new house without any household help and all three kids at home.

Now that's culture shock! (>o<)

I fully realize that I am completely spoiled and that many people do in fact manage households and jobs and kids entirely on their own.

And I will be the first to admit that I'm pathetic for moaning about this.

Frankly, the best thing that happened to me during these 3 weeks was probably the arrival of our Thai nanny, work visa in hand :D :D

The second most relief-inducing moment was when all three kids got their visas approved, after over 1 month of applications and waiting for approvals, and we could finally enroll the older two in school. They have been missing classes for 2.5 months.

So many thoughts in this early stage of our stay... I will have to write more about it when I can organize them a bit better.
