Things To Do While We Wait!

So...the question I get asked the most these days is "What do you do now?" My answer, "Wait." Most people look at me perplexed as if to say "Isn't that what you have been doing." Well, yes and no. Like I said, we are officially on the waiting list. All the stuff we have done so far have gotten us to this point "Officially Waiting."

Sure we still have things to do like reading books about adoption, taking on-line courses, taking a CPR class, attending a child care class, completing more paperwork, getting fingerprinted. As you can see, it is not idle waiting.

Here is Nathan's plan (please note this is a modified version of his plan for the waiting that occurred between the time he "popped the question" and the time we could put a wedding together) - we need to clean an organize. I suppose if it were my idea people would call it nesting. I am not sure of the term used for when a Dad to be does this. His thought (which I have to say is right) is that we have to fit another person, who comes with a lot of stuff into this house, we need to get better organized. So...for the last few weeks, we have been going through every room, drawer by drawer, closet by closet and cleaning and reorganizing. Before I get all kinds of post suggesting this, let me make this clear...we are not coming to your house next.

I have let Nathan take the lead and let me tell you it is going great! I am pleased with our progress. I am also taking full advantage of this time, I know it won't be long until Nathan is spending every free weekend moment in our yard. He has already mowed our lawn once this year! He loves yard work. Good thing because I don't like it.

I do have one question, "How do two people accumulate so much junk?" Needless to say, we are having a huge garage sale the first weekend in May. Sad thing is, it hasn't been that long since we had a garage sale!

Have a great week!
