ohhhh woe is me

I hate to be a sad sack, but gosh I am sooo anxious and stressed right now..I am not going to moan about it, because it is just everyday stress, and the monotony of life that is getting to me.
It has been a long hard slog, saving annd paying for our holiday, and although it will be completely worth it, it as been so long that I haven't been spoilt, that it is making me flat.
Comments from others that we are "lucky" to be having a holiday, just give me the shits really, if they only knew how hard it has been.
Car needs new brake pads urgently, on top of the bloody hot water system, it is always the way isn't it ?

Now on to this holiday.. I haven't updated the blogland on the final itinerary.
So here it is.
Flying Tiger to Melbourne, we are staying in Prahran, spending our first day catching up with my wonderful Victorian EB friends.
On the second day we are off to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, then back to Melbourne for the Fremantle Vs St Kilda match at The Telstra Dome.
The next day we leave Melbourne for Corryong. We are taking the Great Alpine road from bairnsdale, having Lunch at Maccas for our Second daughters birthday.
We are not sure of the exact route once we get to Omeo, it will depend on the conditions, but we are stopping in Corryong for the night. Corryong is the resting place of the real Man from Snowy River, and there is a museum there that we hope to check out. We are having a birthday dinner in the restaurant of our accommodation.
We then head off to Thredbo, via Jindabyne where we have to collect our discounted Ski Hire. Travel agent providore met the owner at the travel expo.
We are staying in a 3bd loft lodge in woodridge with a spa bath and an open fire. Walking distance to the kids club, and lifts.
5 days of skiing and also of using the heated swimming pool in Thredbo. We have bought our own snow wear, which the kids are excited to wear.
Leaving Thredbo after 5 days we head towards Sydney via Mittagong, where my cousin lives. We will be entering Sydney via Wollongong, and staying in a cabin in a holiday park in the southern suburbs, only k's away from where I grew up.
Sydney will consist of lots of catching up with firends and family, a day trip to the blue mountains, Australia v France in the Rugby, My fair lady the musical (My Big girl and I)and on the final night NSW v QLD in the decider, State of origin 3 !!!
6 days in sydney then we hop on a plane to Hervey Bay QLD, where we will then drive to Noosa via Maryborough and Gympie.
6 days relaxing on the shores of the Noosa River with my dad and my brother, fishing and BBQing, pure bliss !.
Will be popping into Australia Zoo again.
Then to Brisbane for a week, where the man of the house has a reunion, and we will meet up with our friends also travelling from Perth.
a day trip to Movie World is also Planned.

On the last weekend of the holiday we will be spending some time with some of my other wonderful friends from EB.
Then Home, no doubt broke and exhausted.
Now I know it will be worth it, but how to get myself through the stress of the pre holiday period ?
Now that is the big question.
