i've been sick

soooooo sooooo sick.
and it's really testing my patience with everything! hubs keeps reminding me that all of this will be so worth it in the end and i know he's right, but man i wish we could catch a break somewhere. there was a minor road bump in our application process (it's fixed now, just some peperwork stuff) but with me feeling the way i had been and other things going wrong (enough family drama to go around) and some financial issues that are taking a little longer to work themselves out than i thought (ok really like a week longer than i thought, i told you i'm sick: i'm whiny) i was sure this meant we weren't getting licensed.
so here we are waiting to find out if we're approved and in the meantime i'm getting plenty of rest so i'll be feeling all better if we are approved and it's time to care for some littles :)

and now we wait...

it's official, the hubs and i have done everything on our part of the licensing process.
so for now we just wait to see if we're approved.
um, it feels kinda weird.
i'm usually a pretty goal oriented person, so having to just sit and wait without anything else we can do is odd for me. our home study assesor said we may have a couple more questions to answer and that by the end of april we should know for sure what's going on.
now i need to find somwthing to keep us busy until then.
(if we do get licensed and have children with us and i complain about never having enough time to do anything, remind that i said something like this)

home makeover

i'm not sure if it's the weather, being stuck inside all day, or the fact that our final homestudy visit is coming up but i have this sudden urge to clean and rearrange my entire house. suddenly, nothing looks right to me. there are pictures that should be hung, couches that should be moved, our tv is in the wrong place, everything needs rearranged. so, that's what i'm doing this weekend. i'm heading home to do a thorough cleaning and rearranging. and i love love love how it feels to clean and rearrange the rooms in your house. i'm at work right now weriously excited to go home and clean. i even know what cleaning clothes i'm going to put on. and i'm thinking of making a cleaning list on pandora while i'm at work! it's ok, you can laugh at me. but, wanting to clean is a very very rare thing for me (when my mom finds out what i'm doing she'll probably be knocking on my front door to see if i have a fever, and my husband might pass out). don't get me wrong i do it, i just usually whine the whole time.

well, all by the end of the week everything that hubs and i have to do for the licensing process should be done... then we wait to see if we are approved.
meh, makes me nervous.

well, while i'm cleaning i'll be thinking of you all! hope you have a fabulous weekend!
