the last few days have been a little frustrating, thanks to a bum email account and a down server and all kinds of computer issues. when you are a freelancer who works remotely via computerl, having a doggin' computer feels pretty scary. as it is, my personal email account is not receiving emails and i have no idea how many of them are out there in cyberspace. i do know that i already missed a press check for some hockey brochures and a client who needed me to call her yesterday. doh.

on top of that, you should see the list i have for stuff that needs to be done before we can move in two weeks. it hurts my head, but i think i will take deann's advice and go one day at a time. people move all the time, and no one dies. i may lose a few jobs in the process, but no one will die. ha!

otherwise, i need to flip this email around and look at how blessed we have been. i will make a list for you (of course):

1. drove by the hole yesterday. it now has concrete in it and we can see the shape of the house. next week: walls!! it looks pretty good so far. i'll try to take pictures when things get a little more exciting.

2. drove by the rental house yesterday too. it's CUTE. all brick with a front porch, and we can wave to the husband while he's at work on the third floor across the street.

3. went to the school open house. i liked it. i think the boys liked it. teachers are energetic and full of new ideas. we passed the library and big j said "now THAT'S a library." we went through the playground and little j said "this is my favorite part."

4. work is NUTS. i almost can't wait to do my billing tonite to see how nuts the past two weeks have been. i know how lucky i am to be working at a job i love every day. thank you God!

5. we got through all but three of our "summer wish list" items this year, and i think we'll wipe one of them off yet. maybe two.

that's about it. now hopefully this thing will actually post. man, how did people do life without computers?
