Moved!
This will be quick as I am tired….yesterday we got EVERYTHING out of our house and we moved into our house in Gardner. It was a huge blessing to have hired movers and Donald’s brother Drew helped us a lot with last minute items. Tomorrow the boys (Donald, Drew, and a friend of ours, Dave) are going to clear out the storage unit and put the stuff in the garage. Awesome!
It’s been tough being so tired and then basically being up all night with a baby…I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but today I hit my cracking point. We have made 4 trips to the cable place to get the cable put in our name. They kept stating that we needed various documentation to show we owned the house and/or the prior owners had to cancel the account. In the middle of FINALLY getting them to give us cable, Joshua was crying. I went out to the car to change his diaper; I laid him on the seat with the back door open. Some man was super impatient and was sarcastically saying “Oh, no, take your time, I don’t have anywhere to go.” What a jerk!
So, I scooped Joshua up quickly to take him to the other side of the car, a diaper loosely around his waist. Well, Joshua decided right then would be a good time to soak me, himself, the blanket, and then the seat of the car. I got him cleaned up as best I could and sat down to give him a bottle because he was hungry. In the middle of taking the cap off to put the nipple on, Joshua’s legs flailed and he dumped the formula all over me. So, I was sitting in the back seat of my Impala, covered in pee and formula, I had just been yelled at, and I burst into tears. I just kept thinking “I just want to take a shower, I haven’t showered since Monday….”
When Donald came out to the car after taking care of the cable business, he was sympathetic but I could tell he thought it was funny. I thought “Well, it will BE funny in the future, but it’s not funny now.” My hubby took care of Joshua so I could change and take a good shower, and then we met with our social worker Susan for the last time. After this coming Wednesday, he is officially ours FOREVER!
We wrote the birthmom a letter…I’m not sure if she’ll read it, but I wanted to let her know how much we love Joshua and what a brave decision she made. It was good for us to write it.
Well, it’s 8:18 and the baby is sleeping…I’m going to bed!!!

More fun things from “StumbleUpon” from Firefox
Stephen Colbert…..he is funny….he gave a Knox College commencement address….and now, he has an ICE CREAM FLAVOR. What can this man not do?
On the home front, the kitchen is steam cleaned and ready for spackling and painting. My willpower to do anything on the house is fading!
I have skipped a lot of baby showers since dealing with the infertility junk. I am attending my first baby shower in a couple years on Saturday. Any of you have a hard time with baby showers?
Do adopted parents get baby showers?
I guess I can always throw myself one….

Funny thing I said last night
This story was told to me by my husband. Remember, Cowboy is our cat.
My husband came home from work last night, and I had taped the academy awards. However, the tape ran out right before they were going to announce who won the award for best picture. I was asleep, and my husband asked me who won for best picture. I said “Cowboy.” A little bit later he asked me again, and I said “Cowboy.” Finally, after a little bit, he asked again, and I said “The departed.” He had to check online anyway just to make sure that I wasn’t delusional.
We do own the best cat in the world, but I don’t think he’ll be winning any academy awards….
