I'm waiting

Our second modem (the Tx modem) broke day before yesterday. The phone company says this is a coincidence. I'm not certain. Because both modems have broken since we moved the phone wire from the bedroom to the addition, I think it's something Ian did when he connected the wire. The guy from the phone company says if this modem breaks within a few weeks we should check the voltage coming from the power lines. Have I mentioned that we've replaced our landline phones three times in the one year that we've lived here? Moving on...

I'm waiting. For what? I'm waiting for the mudding work to be finished in the new bedrooms. We still need two more coats. I've not been allowed to mud for fear that I might make it harder for someone to finish- but I'm getting a little impatient :)

I'm waiting for the kids bedding/sheets to come so I can match paint colors for the bedrooms. I'll be waiting for a while. When I ordered the boys' sheets- I ordered from a company who actually didn't have them available. Of course it took them two days to let me know, and thier charges are still on my credit card, but then I quickly ordered from amazon because they always have fast shipping. So, I'm waiting on them. While the girls' bedding was delivered, it was delivered to TEXAS! Oops, that was my fault- I checked the 'use same as billing address' for shipping, and actually my billing address was wrong. Sooo, I'm waiting and hoping that one of our friends in Tx can pick it up and mail it. I'm hoping that the people that bought our house will give it to our friend.

I'm waiting to decorate the kids' bedrooms. We're going all out on these bedrooms, and I'm so excited to see it go together.

I'm waiting for my mom to move in to her new house- which is 5 minutes down the road!

I'm waiting to finish the Roman unit of TOG. Of course, I can wrap it up whenever I like, but I really want to do all the crafts, so it's taking longer that it should- because we're doing all the crafts. And actually, it's not taking longer- I'm just desperate to know what happens after the fall of Rome... hehe

I'm waiting for Christmas, so we can go on a road trip in our new van!

I'm waiting for a title for our new van, so we can get a license plate for our new van!

I'm waiting to take our shoe boxes in for Operation Christmas Child. I love filling our shoe boxes every year, and one day I hope one of us can go to pass them out!

I'm waiting for this modem to break, so if you don't hear from me for a while- it's probably broken.

Actually, my list of waiting things looks pretty silly from a more serious perspective, but it's really fun for me to plan.

Did I mention that I'm waiting for Asher to miraculously potty train himself? I am.

Just take a big breath and remember that while you're waiting...enjoy the moments around you that make you smile. The funny observations Nathaniel has, the smiles of Gabe that bright up and charm the room, Asher potty training himself...maybe you'll wait on that a while...but he's a cutie anyway, and listen to Micaela's serious conversations and little worries that underneath shows how much she cares. Enjoy the changes that Elizabeth goes thru! All this while you wait!

Ok, I am TOTALLY jealous... of the BIG van. :)
REALLY!
I wanted one of those babies a while back and we even considered it, but... money is short and the van was not in the budget
So I am tickled for you.
Love,
Chas
