I have come to the conclusion that this fall I have tried to take on too much, do to much and get done too much or at least out of my capabilities as a human. Trying to do the extra things I have lost control on the things like family, house and especially laundry. Family home evening has been hit or miss, scripture study as well, we have had more cereal for dinner than for breakfast, Katy's backpack is missing and all work and notes have been coming home in Target bags. MG has been getting away with staying up too late and there fore we are late for school almost every day. How he is still getting good grades and maintaining the A honor roll has been beyond me. I sit looking around my kitchen and there is pancake batter, yogurt and dishwasher detergent stuck to the cabinets. I have mopped my floor but since I only have used the swifter since Aug. there is the dust line building up around the floor molding. We probably wouldn't have groceries but that is my second job, mystery shopper for major grocery store chain(if you are wondering what my first job is that would be stay at home mom, which I think everyone knows the job description for). And it looks like the washer /dryer exploded upstairs and you wade through all the clothes, which is kind of funny since the washer-dryer is in the basement. There is a few people I would let into my house right now. I need some reality show to come and rescue me. My plan of attack is to say NO, no more extras for a while at least I can regain some balance and productivity in our house. Task at hands is getting ready for Christmas and maybe a call to the Merri Maids for a Merry Christmas!
So how does this all fit into my adoption blog, well we are going to be on mission to regain control and get organized. Because my adoption funds have arrived and here we go, I plan to fill out the adoption agency(LaVida) application. I have to say I am very nervous, worried that we will be shot down in this first step in the process. The application isn't even very complicated.
On a side note, Katy is dancing in the Nutcracker on the 15th. She is a mouse, she will get to attack a toy soldier and I am so excited. She will have 2 performances 2pm and 7pm. Let me know if anyone wants to come check her out.

The problem with those reality shows is that those people come, clean/organize and leave. I need them to move in!
I'm excited for you to be starting your paperwork. I have complete faith that this will go as smoothly as possible for you and Malcolm. You are a terrific family and any little person/people will be blessed to become part of your family.
BTW--if you ever need an adult voice in your otherwise little person surroundings, give me a call and we can have a satellite laundry folding session while we catch up. :)
