Stressing...or not
I am trying not to stress. Trying being the very key word in that sentence. I have to find a group counseling group (that sounds funny) to join for six weeks for my class next week. So that means, one that is starting up really soon, doesn't have confidentiality issues, and will end before my paper is due (or the baby comes). Oh yeah...and I have to find a counseling center that holds one of these groups and will let me in. I have called around, emailed, asked for referrals...nothing. I leave for class on Saturday, and when I come back I have like 6 weeks until the baby could be here...so I need to start right away. I cannot stress how much better I will feel after this matter is solved. I don't even know what else to do...besides keep calling.
This week is busy. I have a doctor appointment on Wedn morning and a hair cut that afternoon. I babysit all day Thursday. Friday is my last full day at home...I have pre-work to finish, and a house and family to prepare for my leaving for a week. I really cannot wait until this last trip is behind me, and then it will just be three exams, group counseling and then wham...a baby. Yeah, the timing of this class was not perfect.
Saturday we met some friends for dinner. My parents kept Landon for the evening, but when we got home at 11:30 he was still awake in his bed. Guess he was just waiting for me to come home...I went in there and he said, "I need you to do all of the things Grandma DIDN'T do." I said, "Like what?" He said..."turn my music on, turn my machine on (humidifier), and put cream (lip ice) on my lips." I think he was laying there for hours rehearsing his list of things he wanted me to do. He was asleep five minutes later 
Yesterday we actually bought paint for the nursery...and painted a wall. Now we are not sure we love the color. My secret deep desire is that when I come back from Virginia...that dumb room is completely painted. I told Jonathan that if we don't stick with this color than I want him to just go to Home Depot and pick out whatever color suits his fancy and slap it on the wall. If you only knew how many times we have tried to pick out colors, disagreed, left, gone back...over and over and over. We also bought crown moulding for the room. Dumb us saw the price tag at $1.39 and thought that was the price of the entire big long strip. Get up to the front of the store (which was a trick bc these things were LONG!) and find out it is $1.39 a foot. Jonathan felt too stupid to take it all back to the back of the store...so we bought it. Oh well...it will look nice and the room is relatively small so it wasn't that expensive...just more than the $10 we were anticipating
Ok, I think that is enough procrastinating...back to stressing, er...figuring out what to do about the group counseling thing. Oiy...
Oh for the lazy days of summer
