Delays

We didn't get to move this weekend. We won't close now until Wednesday, which totally sucks since I'm leaving Thursday morning for a 5 day trip to WA to visit my sister (aka the crisis queen)

This means that we won't be able to actually get things moved until Labor Day weekend. ~sigh~ This also means that this place won't be back in showable condition till about mid September. ~double sigh~

We are doing foster training (Kelly for the 1st time and me retaking all of it with her and picking up the one class I missed.) It starts sometime in september...so far no one can give me dates of course! Stupid DHS office people! The hope is to eventually adopt, since it looks like TTC may be permanantly out of reach.

It's hard for me to give up the dream of carrying a child, knowing it from birth, breastfeeding, choosing a name, and being part of first smiles and first steps and first words. But I guess being a mama is what counts in the end....

disorganization

I am really wishing lately that I was one of those ultra organized, get things done, kind of people. I am the complete opposite. The new house closes in less than a 2 weeks and I have only accomplished what feels like haphazzard packing. a few shelves of this cupbord or that, most of the blankets, sheets and winter clothes, some of the knick knacks....

Realistically I don't have to get it all done before the move, because this house hasn't sold yet. But the sooner it's empty, the quicker it will sell and let's face it, prime selling season is almost over.

No news on the baby front..except sadness that I may have to give up the dream.

I miss my friend L...
