Above is my only known casualty of the move: OPI Elephantastic Pink. Needless to say, my toes are looking tough. I know it made the move because my toes got a little scuffed up in the move. I'm fairly sure I know which room I used it in and can't think of many places where I would have put it, but it's gone. This little town does not sell OPI anywhere that I know of, and all of my other summer polishes went away in one of my 40 bags. I guess it's winter OPI until I order some more.
Speaking of the move, Ned made brought the final load yesterday of random odds and ends that I have absolutely no interest or energy to do anything with. Right now it's in the dining room making it fair game for Avery. Our lime green office/storage room/cat litter box combination (aren't you jealous?) is becoming quickly stuffed, but that's where I'm hoping somebody will put it all.
Our closing date has been moved yet again, but only until Wednesday. I'm hoping that since we have an official time, it's for real. Our buyers' agent let it slip to Ned this week that our buyer hit a major snag in the whole loan process. By the time she told him, though, it had been resolved. I'm glad she waited to drop that bomb until after I had taken Avery home to go to bed, or I may have had to put my head between my legs. I'm finally getting excited about starting to build, mainly because some of the other crazy things in life have slowed down. I haven't blogged to much about the house because I'm big on counting those hatched chickens, but also because I didn't want our choice to be judged. However, Ned and I have chosen what we love for our family, and I know that's all that matters.
I am staying up too late and night and paying for it during the day. It finally caught up with me last night, and I was on the couch asleep by 8 p.m. Lack of sleep is not helping my dwindling reserve of school patience, either. It really could be worse, but there are moments that I feel like if one more child asks me to sharpen a pencil or asks if we're going outside I'm going to lose it. Avery sometimes requires an extra dose of patience and I hate feeling like I have none to give in my little time with her each day. Four more weeks to go!
Off to do something about these toes. I keep checking Avery and Felix the cat for pink nails.

Don't be hard on yourself - the end of the school year is brutal! I was always tired, cranky and extra irritable without being a mom on top of it all. I will be thinking of you with your house stuff. It will all work out. I always feel better once the papers are signed! Maybe the polish will show up this weekend. It looks like a gorgeous color.
Moving is so stressful! I hope to never do it again ;) Hope your nail polish turns up!!
I can always pick up the polish in Raleigh and bring it to you if we plan a June visit (assuming you can wait that long.) Speaking of visits, I'm e-mailing you right now!
