Why can't I find you....
Wow do I feel like Cindy Lu Who!!! Seriously... I am lost! Here I go with the Jessica pitty party? Sorry - you choose to read!! (HEHE). We were supposed to be in the house 2 weeks ago! I am sure ya'all who have been through the building process feel my pain. One thing after another. We will FINALLY have the first final inspection tomorrow. Knowing that you never pass... we are hoping everyone gets in to take care of their "jobs" and we have another inspection Monday afternoon at which time we can start moving this family of 8 over! PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!! Eric and I have been going down to the house in the evenings. He has been putting on door handles and putting up closet rods while I have been cleaning. We have been getting home at midnight! The kids go down with us until I am ready to kill them all and then I always have 1 friend or another that will call and rescue me. Ok - I am in tears. Thank you my friends. Thank you so much for caring about my family! Even if it means coming and getting the Murph man for just an hour or two so I don't have him pulling on my legs everywhere I go.
My poor kids!!! I didn't put up a Christmas tree because I didn't want to get it put up here and then have to move it over! I kept think... this week... this week. Here we are... 2 weeks from Christmas and we have no Christmas tree. We are totally Grizwalds and we go down to Joes Valley every year and cut down "the perfect tree." My kids love it. It could be my all time fav tradition. Not this year... who has time for that?
I finally had my first "BIG" breakdown yesterday!!! Yup - cried for hours!!! I hope I can get through these next couple weeks. Ultimately, I pray that we wake up Christmas morning in a warm home (wherever that may be) and I can enjoy my kiddos. I have had no patience (could be the 2 or 3 hours of sleep each night). I better make sure I take the time to night to go lay down and give them extra snuggles. Sorry for being such a slacker. I can honestly say I haven't looked at blogs all week!
Again, thanks so much to my friends for being LifeSavers. If all goes as planned we SHOULD, I say SHOULD be moving in after Monday night! In the meantime I hope to keep in the back of my mind what this feeling of Christmas should be all about!

Give your self a break, go have a KitKat bar!! Take a deep breath and it will all work out.
Do you guys need help moving in? If so Diana is pretty tough and can move a lot of crap for you.
It has been such a long and hard week...and I had NO idea you were dealing with SO much. I feel bad I didn't talk with you much.... I figured you were busy with the house and your family stuff, and I didn't want to bug you. I kept having feelings to call you, too....seriously! I get in these "busy modes"....where I tune everything out without meaning to. I know everything will all work out for you guys though.... You deserve it to work out in your favor, huh?? I would love to take Murphy more often to help you out. He is so stinking easy, and such a little joy to us. We all love him. I'm going to come get him Monday morning from you....and I'll keep him the whole day. PLAN ON IT. :o) We don't have anything going on Monday, so please let me take him. I'll call you tomorrow. I miss you.
P.S. Don't feel too bad about the Christmas tree. I just barely decorated ours LAST NIGHT with my kids. :o) It's been "one of those years"....ha ha Your kids are so laid back....so they don't care about all the tiny details that us moms care about anyway. We stress too much. :O)
