frustrated. tired. anxious. excited. impatient.

So, we "closed" on our house Friday the 22nd.. The title company told us it would be about 24-48 hours before we got the keys to our house and we could move in. It's five days later and we are STILL waiting. I honestly have been doing okay up until this point. My kids have been great, it's been somewhat of a vacation staying in a hotel week after week, but ENOUGH already. The word on the street is that we get our keys today, but I am not counting my chickens until they hatch. Until then I am feeling every emotion under the sun.

You know, I really hate complaining. I realize I have every reason to (HELLO-- I have been homeless for a month!) But I also know that I have also been very blessed. So, instead of leaving you on a sad note, I am going to post a few emotion posters that were inspired by my mother in law's birthday present.


These are my cousin Bethany's kids. Three boys about the same ages as mine...
They moved back to Utah and we really miss having family in Vegas!

And Andrea and Matthias are good friends from high school. Could their boys be any cuter?
It's really NOT hard to create these collages. Bethany and Anj took the pictures of their boys and sent them to me via email. It took me about an hour to edit them and combine them on photoshop. Of course, it's nothing professional, but I think they turned out pretty cute... if I do say so myself :)

Janet, I hope you got the keys today. All of the pictures are really cute. It takes a good director?--photographer to get the kids to pose like that. I have Ben, Luke and Zack's taped to a kitchen cabinet. It makes me smile when I open the cabinet door. Had a good day at the hospital again.
If anyone wants a happy lift go see Mamma Mia. I've seen it 5 times and play the ABBA CD's all the time.
Have had many nice comments about your blog pages about how we met and my story from friends and family I sent them too and again, I really appreciated all the nice comments.
Still can't use my password and no way to retrieve it so I'm anonymous again.

No way... I totally thought you were busy moving in. I'm sorry to hear that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. You are a trooper.

Went on Google to see if I could retrieve my password. Set a new one. Am testing to see if it works. I hope success for you with the keys to your house. the frusteration must be overwhelming.
