For what it's worth... I used to teach preschool and wondered all the time what sort of parent I would be... now my girls have just started preschool and I am again wondering what sort of parent I am.... mostly I think working with kids has helped me be a better parent.... mostly...

How sweet the Shun wants to ask you Dad permission! I think I'm going to take a leaf out of your book and start writing lists and notes. Seems to work well for all the organised people I know. I tend to write mental lists in my head, is it any wonder it takes me so long to get out of the supermarket? I'm always thinking what do I need to buy? what do I want to eat! ha ha! Hilarious about that lady calling out "Moshi moshi" to you! My guess is it was because you are forgein. She probably heard somewhere that some foreigners think moshi moshi means hello...so thought it would be a good way of getting your attention! Oh !!!

It is like we are switiching places almost Paul t: Hey dude, was wondering when one day you would actually comment on here...you stalk me and my other blog buddies enough! heheheheh! It is funny instead of commenting on here Mandy will often msg me on facebook about something I have written!!! I also thing way to much about the future, I am all for planning....Unfortunately now matter how boy scouty you are, you can not be prepared for absolutely everything! Sigsy: Thanks! Can`t to hear more about this dream of yours to open up a boutique hotel when I see you in a couple of weeks! If you do open one, can I work there when I come back to Japan! I do have a degree in PR after all! Jen: You have a very exiting year coming up for yourself also, with finishing uni after so many years studying and also with your new business and going overseas!!! I am great at planning stuff so I can help you with planning before you leave...Glad I will get to spend a couple of months with you before you jet-set off! Also can`t wait for outback adventures! sushi: Thanks babe! You are an inspiration, as always! I just need to see what you and Masao have done with Tokyo Made to know that if you want something bad enough you can get it!!! Really need to cross hooping off my life list too, so when I see you in two weeks we will have to discuss a hooping date! Nay: We can most definitely catch up in May, and several times after that before you head back to Japan!!! I can`t wait to hear how your wedding plans are going by then...I will be planning my own wedding from when i get home so I will need lots of hints! I think you and I both have a simmilar fate!! Brissie girls, same age, getting married to J-boys! we will need to share lots of stories! Katie: Lunch dates in the city, here I come! I am the opposite to you, I plan and plan and plan. And when things don`t go according to plan, I stress out! I am the kind of person that rights lists of what I need to do today, what I need to do by the end of the week, what I need to do before I leave Japan (Started that list in my journal last night!) Maybe some of my planning will rub off n you! I wish I could not worry about the past/future so much....I am so much better at not worring about past now, just work on not worrying about future or over planning!

I've never been very good with planning ahead....that's something I'd like to become better at. I know some people who have 5 year plans! LOL! I guess some people are better at it than others. One thing I have learnt is to enjoy every day and every moment for what it is and to stop worrying about the future or the past too much. Here's to a great future for as all! I'm sure you will find something that interests you, stay in touch closer to to the time and I'll tell you which temp agency I liked the most. We will definately have to do lunch if you will be working in the city! I like this post! I’ve never been very good with planning ahead….that’s something I’d like to become better at.

And even if you plan things out, the situation and the circumstances change, and you need to change/adapt your plans! But it doesn't matter how things turn out, everything is for a purpose, and the life you are leading is the life that you were destined to live... I can't beleive your coming back in May!! Do you think we could catch up some time? Future is a scary thing… you never know what’s going to happen or how it’s going to happen.

Always having uni to do, I suppose I never really thought about what it would be like to live my life without it having broken up into semesters. I have until September roughly planned out, but from then on I don't have the slightest clue! I'm sad I will be in the middle of the outback when you first arrive back here, at least I will have some good stories for when we catch up though :) I’m glad you have a rough plan of how things will turn out.
