I need time to stop. Just for today. Would that be ok?
We have WAAAYYYY too much going on right now and I'm overwhelmed.
Breath...Breath...Breath.
It didn't work. :)
Last week Scott's grandfather died and we spent most of the week in his hometown saying good-bye. It was a sweet time with family and we were glad to see some old faces again. Scott's granddad had been suffering for some time and so it was a blessing to receive the news that God had called him home.
Then we moved.
Moving is stressful.
Remember that I'm pregnant - about 6 months now. I'm huge. I can't lift boxes. I can only boss. I didn't do a good job of that. I basically for about an hour on Saturday morning lost my mind. After a good hard cry though - things got moving.
Scott and I spent Saturday night in our new house - without hot water. It's the best camping experience I've ever had. Sam played with Honey and Papa in Waco. Thank God for grandparents.
Sunday we spend the day finishing up our move. Most of our things are in the house now - except for the kitchen. We're waiting for the builder to fix some things there before we move everything.
Sam was a trooper Sunday - he played well and hung in there for multiple trips to Lowes. :)
This week's to-do list looks like this:
*Finish moving kitchen
*Start punch list for builder
*Landscape yard - Thank you God for no rain yet today so we can get our grass down!
*Close on house - Praise that the underwriter has all the documentation now and hopefully by the end of the day we'll have a closing date set.
*Jenny has two night events this week - I don't like being away from Sam and Scott in the evenings, but these were unavoidable.
I have 5 workshops this week, 1 private client, and need to somehow cook dinner for Sunday School friends without a working stove. (Please dear gas company, come turn on our gas today.)
So - this post is scattered - my mind is scattered. If time could just stop for a little bit, I think I could catch up. Although I'd probaby just choose to sleep instead! :)

First of all, is a "punch list" the things you'd like to punch the builder for b/c he didn't get them right? Obviously, I've never built a house before. Second, I will be praying for you. Oh my, you do have a LOT going on.
Sometimes it would be so nice to be able to stop time. I hope things get calmer for you soon - sounds crazy. Hang in there! Hope you enjoy your new home. Katie
I miss you friend. I wish I had a working phone to call you. You'll be in my prayers. So glad your in the house. That is wonderful.
I'm sorry to hear about Scott's grandfather, but glad that there is peace now.
