Way down there

The in-laws arrive in one week and I am beside myself. It's for a good cause but I am beside myself with trying to clean an entire house. You know like under the fridge cleaning--heavy duty stuff. Meanwhile I'm trying hard to survive the exhaustion factor and let me say that the two are not at all compatible.

There is a vacation of sorts in store for me and Seb, the first in almost a year. We'll be leaving for Mexico in ten days to check out our new homeland, look at schools for Little S and see what kind of house we can rent (although the actual renting won't happen until we get there and have had some time to really poke around). Hopefully we'll get to soak up some of the culture that we'll be enjoying for the next three years. I can't wait to see what the people are like and go check out the local markets. Seb and I are really looking forward to some much needed couple time too and I'm going to throw my mommy paranoia out the window for five days, try to have some fun and get excited about planning our future.

Oh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon`s so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right

And here's an excellent cover of it if you're a fan ...
