Friday the 13th...

I wrote in an earlier blog that "13" was my new lucky number. Well... I'm praying that today will be a lucky day! We are on day 58 of our wait for our confirmation letter and my nerves are getting frayed. Whenever the phone rings, I get butterflies for a split second...until I realize that it's not the call I am longing to receive. Sometimes I feel like a dog chasing after the mailman when I see a FedEx truck drive through our neighborhood. (Apparently we have a neighbor that uses FedEx a LOT!!!)

With my luck, we'll get the call while I'm out of town next week. For the FIRST time since I had kids... I am going on an overnight trip by MYSELF! Well... sort of... our teachers have a workshop in the Florida Keys, complete with snorkeling on one of the coral reefs. Isn't that terrible? We're really looking forward to it. I should have LOTS of pictures to share of that when I get back. (I will be behind the camera...NOT in front of it!)

We're steadily keeping busy. I've slowed down buying clothes for Spunky (unless, of course, it has a monkey on it!) Now that summer is officially here, I have some time to work on the nursery. And, yes... you guessed it! It's a jungle theme... complete with his own giraffes and monkeys. I've always wanted a jungle nursery. I think it has something to do with my difficulty giving up my zookeeper days. Hopefully I'll be able to share pictures soon! My husband wants to mow the yard; but, Mama wants to bring the crib out of storage. Hmmm... who shall "win" this one?
