So we were informed that our new house should be ready in about two weeks, we are just waiting on the new carpet and paint. I have slowly been sifting through the mounds of crap that has been collected over the years by my pack rat counter part, trying to figure out what to pack and what to leave out and what to toss. I'm a major procrastinator and do all my best work under the pressure of an impending deadline, so I feel kinda lost. I'm dutifully labeling each box with the room that it should be deposited in upon arrival, but this is a tedious and time consuming task. There is so much other stuff to be done.
Like laundry for example. The washing machine conveniently took a crap on me today while all full of dirty clothes and dirty water. GRRRRR.....

We finally came up with a name for our soon to be realized dream... The Krazy 8's Ranch. And the business shall be called A MAZE N FARM. Haha! How origional. We like it and it fits us perfect. We are all a bit Krazy. In our own little individual ways.
In the mean time I am on a mission of hunting down and applying for every possible Government Grant available that we qualify for. Odds are in our favor as fresh locally grown produce is pretty much non-existent in our area, which (hopefully) means there is a market for such a venue. At the suggestion of one of my Californian cousins I have come up with a survey to find out just how MUCH of a market for this there really is....
Meanwhile, Big D's birthday came and went with no sign of the delivery of the birthday gift I ordered over a month ago. Apparently it got lost in the mail and they had to send a replacement. I am much more disappointed than him. It finally arrived today and I relished the act of wrapping it up all pretty with blue twirly ribbon and a great big colorful bow. And even though I KNOW he's going to love it, I still worry that he won't. Because I always want my gifts to be perfect.
We were hoping to be in our new house in time to celebrate his birthday, but we weren't, so the celebration, AKA BBQ, has been postponed. We will be combining Big D's and Small D's birthday celebrations with the housewarming party/BBQ. Uhg, jsut THINKING about it is exhausting....
I played phone tag with the Dr's office today, and when we finally caught up with each other I was informed that J's neurologist had called them and suggested he be referred to a pediatric psychiatrist. Hallelujah!!! I was so ready for the long haul of renewing my battle with the public school system once we move. I feel like I've won something. I can take a deep breath and relax a little. I know it's still going to be an every day struggle for all of us, but at least now we don't have to battle the schools anymore.

I look around me right now with the boxes everywhere and the kids bickering over what, how and who collected the mail after school. Small D wants to call the cops on me for telling him to stop pestering T. I am missing my babe, longing for his arms to be wrapped around me. Also, I'd like to take a shower. He needs to hurry up and get home.
