I need a foot massage

Sean and Will are doing it again. pinching with fury and glazing with the heart-tugging irrationality of two four-year-olds who don't understand why dogs don't eat beads. but they are still ridiculously easy to love. and even if I lose it at times I know I'm doing my best to be a good mom. some days it's not enough. but it's ok.

I spent the last 6 days wearing heels and a fixed grin as protection around bankers who closely scrutinized our accounts. no, they still haven't approved our loan yet. but they know where I buy my underwear now.

we're waiting. again.

My best wishes, girl. It'll come at the right time.

Offtopic: Hey, where is this indoor playground you went to? Do you have to be a member or something? I'm interested... might as well go there with kiddo. Sean and Will looked like they were having a great time. Thanks!

The waiting part is absolutely the worst. Fingers are crossed for you! I know you'll get it!

I hate hate hate waiting. Especially when I know the wait will be followed by a transition period, which (as you might have guessed) I hate even more.

Where DO you buy your underwear?

The waiting is the worst, but I KNOW it will work out the way it is supposed to. hang in there. Things worth having are worth the wait.

Ok...I don't know anymore cliches. Good luck!

High heels for six days? Yikes.

I think you sound like the most wonderful mother around. Really. And we all have bad days, sometimes lots of them. Love is what counts.

We are crossing for you here.

All the dogs I know, eat beads and garbage and anything that has been tightly held by little hands.

Good luck with the house - I'm sure that it will be yours. There's just an impossible amount of sweating it out that happens with this process.

oh, the waiting. I hope you're not going insane! Wishing you all the luck in the world. Hoping all falls into place soon.
