Is it over yet?

I've been away from my home for over a week now and still have a little under a week left.

Now - don't get me wrong - I have had SO MUCH FUN hanging out with Shannon and Julie B. and Julie R. and Kelley and baby Cole and I could be with them every day of any given week, but I am officially homesick. For my own home. For my own space. For my own kitchen and my own bed.

A week is typically my max to be traveling, and I am feeling the maxxed-out-ness! Our house is on the verge of a contract, but no papers have been signed and that angst just simply annoys me and I am trying to just focus on the Lord and his plan and I know (in my head) that he has all of this under control. The contract may never come, or it will, I don't know. The Lord does. I am going to try to rest in Him tonight.

Baby Boy is down for his long-overdue nap this afternoon and I opted to let Little Girl watch a movie instead of sleeping thus creating a 7:00 bedtime which will help me in getting this house cleaned up before the family all starts coming back in town tomorrow. We are here in Springfield until Sunday morning and then we drive to K.C. for the day for our August birthday party for all the cousins and the back-to-school party. We will celebrate with presents, food, swimming and chocolate. Can't wait for that!! We will then head out early Monday back to good ol' Indy. A mere 9 hours of driving. :-)

I knew the stress was getting to me because I bit off all my nails again (this only happens once in a blue moon) and chocolate has become my new companion. So sad.

Sorry mr. chocolate bar - I'm only using you.

Oh and did I mention I need a haircut and a highlight?? I got roots the size of Texas and bangs in my eyes, and I need a girly trip to the salon to assist me in my endorphin boost here - and maybe some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, but anyway - the salon. Definitely need to work on that appointment as soon as I get back home.

On a high note (I'm fully aware of how depressing this post is. My humble apologies. Blame the humidity) - LG's haircut she got yesterday is adorable and I've never seen a more sassy wedge on any (almost) 4 year old in my life. She is simply adorable. Oh and BB smiled at me this morning and giggled with his whole face - eyes all twinkly and full of joy.

That's the good stuff.

Happy Thursday.
