Hello blog-land! Life has been a whirlwind, but we are in the new house and frantically (okay, maybe not frantically) trying to unpack. And I have realized this last week that I miss this, I miss writing. For a very, very long time I have. Great, now I am speaking like Yoda. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)
Anywho, I have lots of ideas that have been bubbling in my brain this last week and I have pledged to myself to take a few minutes each day to write. That may not translate into a daily post, but I'm hoping once I get back into the spirit of things, I will be around much more often and able to visit others.
Much bloggy love to everyone, I miss you!

Panic Spectrum
Most people that know me IRL are aware that in most instances of my life I am a planner. Yes, one of those Type A planners who has to have almost everything spelled out ahead of time. If I don't, the panic sets in. At the moment, the panic train has made a stop at our home and I am being whipped around on that sucker.
We close on the house this coming Friday. And because I still have 5-6 days where "something" could happen, I am in slight panic. Not to mention that we have less than two weeks to move and packing, while commenced, still needs some work. We want to paint the kid's rooms this weekend and now I only have a sitter for one day and am on the search for the other. (sigh. It never ends.) We still don't know if we are going to rent a truck to move or not (longer story). I figured buying a house was stressful, but I didn't truly comprehend just how much.
My day job has been spectacular. Not. (wow, haven't used that phrase in forever) I'm trying to finish up a report on an offender for the courts and have it completed tomorrow. Now, I will own the fact that I did some major procrastination with this report and it's totally coming back to bite me in the ass now. Awesome. The panic for work is coming in with two court hearings in the next week or so. I will have to most likely testify at both, something that I have yet to do. Even more awesomeness. The one is on Friday in the morning and we close on the house in the afternoon, nothing like ruining my day. :) There are days when I love what I do, but some days are just hard. We deal with difficult and emotional situations. I try not to bring it home, but there are days when I rides home in my back pocket with me and sneaks up when I have a free minute or attempt to fall asleep.
Did I mention that we have packing to do? And guess where my husband is right now. In bed, completely sick and hung over. I don't care to say much beyond that as I'm trying to not be a negative nelly in this post, but failing miserably it seems.
On the positive.....got to see some terrific fireworks last evening with my kiddos. I made a difficult decision eariler this week and fretted about it, but ultimately said no and did what was best for me. I am trying to reign in the chaos that is our life this summer and this decision was part of that. And best of all, this week we'll have the keys to our house!!!

Time Flies
It's been over an entire month since I blogged. Wow. Here is a quick synopsis of June...
The week of the walk we looked at a house we had liked online and within days had put an offer in on it. Right now we are set to close on July 16th, barring any issues. And yes, it's me, so there are issues. I'll post on that coming up too.
Hope everyone had a fantastic June.
- Promise Walk for Preeclampsia---very successful. Photos & post coming soon.
- Busy at the day job.
- Getting Disney clients ready to head on vacation in approximately 45 days. Most are during the free dining offer.
- Camping. Let's just call that trip a "series of unfortunate events" and leave it at that.
- Packing, cleaning, and general stress due to the fact that we are.......
