Seriously-that's how I feel my life is right now-pure chaos.
First of all....work-insanly busy. It's by far the busiest time of year for me...so what the heck-why not throw a move in, an adoption, a sick dog, and now flooding. Yes-flooding. I won't say exactly where I live-but I will say the upper midwest and we are in water-a lot of water. It's been a crazy few days. We've been vacumming water out of our basement for about a week, trying to move into our new house, while painting a few rooms in that house, pack up the old house, and help out where ever we can with others who need it.
So-I'm still around but extremely busy....I'm going to try and get some pictures taken and upload them-because seriously if you're not here-and if I describe it-you won't believe me....

Just a few random things....
Nothing of real importance....but the excitement of moving has really set in. We are so excited to get into our new BIGGER AND BETTER place. We are waiting to find out how early we can get in. We are hoping to get the keys over the next few days so we can get in over the weekend and start painting.
I think the room that I am the most excited to paint is our nursery. Right now it is a very neutral color-beige I believe. I thought about leaving it but I think I will change it to either a yellow or green. Mike wants a Curious George theme-I'm not totally convinced. We'll see.
It excites me to start setting things up in there. To get our crib, and our glider, and all of the other fun decorations that come along with it.
Our paperwork is just about finished-and will be sent out at the end of the week. After that-we will get our homestudy started and we were told that-that should be finished in about 2 months. So we are on our way.....EEK! So many exciting things happening and I finally feel like they are happening for us instead of against us. It's a nice change!!
Oh-and as far as my previous post.....I'm much happier now. Days like that can really drag a person down... but I'm a much happier person now.....thank goodness for a loving and understanding husband! Gotta love a man who can deal with a rollercoaster of emotions!

Do you ever have those days....
When you have a knot in your stomach, edgy, crabby, and pretty much feeling like yelling at anyone who comes in front of you????
That's me today. Who knows why-maybe due to the lack of sleep last night, maybe its cause I'm due to get my period this next week....I think....I sometimes lose track since I don't really have to keep track anymore.....or maybe its cause my stress level feels like its going through the roof because this time of year is crazy stressful at work....whatever the reason is I hate feeling this way. I HATE IT!
I'm thinking of taking a tylenol PM and going to bed.....we'll see how far I get with that thought.....off to get back to work....

I'm still here! :)
Just in case anyone missed me! :)
I've been oh so busy these days. But thats a good thing....I think. We were in Wisconsin for a wedding this weekend and had a great time! It was SO NICE to get away and go on a little mini vacation. It was much needed and appreciated!
On the adoption front...our paperwork is almost finished-and will hopefully have it all mailed off in the next few days. Once that is taken care of then we will just wait for our approval and then get our homestudy scheduled.
On another note...WE ARE MOVING!!! YAY!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! We like our house...but we outgrew many many months ago. With Mike and I and our 2 lovely furbabies we need more space. We found a very cute 3 bedroom 2 bath house, double stall garage, finished basement, and within walking distance of a park. Its adoreable. It's not our dream house-but for the time being it will work great. We had looked into buying-and after we went back and forth with our bank between our adoption loan as well as a mortgage and with the economy the way it is-we opted to rent for another year or 2 and save up some more money to give us a much better down payment. While of course we would much rather own then rent-for us right now its the best decision. And we're ok with it....we are just SO EXCITED to have more room. It is going to be about 3x as much room as we have now! Its going to give us plenty of room to grow and have a baby-and it will give the baby the space he or she needs. It's going to be great!!
On the work front...this is the busiest time of year for me at work. My biggest project of the year is a huge benefit auction. It takes place the middle of April and I've been in full swing planning mode since last years event...but of course it takes full speed the 5-6 weeks prior. So many many things going on-and many things keeping me busy....that's definitely a good thing!!
