Brown boxes

Obviously, it's been a long time since I've written anything here...I honestly don't think anyone reads it, and it's a safe place to get my head together.

We moved out of the riverside apartment, and are now in Michael's dad's house, but everything is still in flux because much of the stuff is being repacked to be sent on to another destination.

I'll be home soon, and am madly scrambling between packing, donating, farewell playdates (for both me AND Jensen), resting, and working.

I find it amazing that with all I've put into this process so far, the house still looks like a bomb went off in there. I've got 6 more days to get everything together and shipped out and I don't know how that's really possible.

I have a second vaccination clinic to take 2 of the kitties to tomorrow morning, I work Monday, Tuesday is prepping for moving AND prepping myself to be seen in public, Wednesday I present at Random House's educators' conference, Thursday is the last day to get things done before Friday, when Jen gets here. She'll be here Friday and Saturday to help, then we all get on a plane Sunday and arrive in Austin that evening.

It is a crazy week, but I've still been spinning my wheels not being able to find things and trying desperately to multi-task. There is still a whole lot left to do, and leaving it undone is not an option.

The great news is that my transcript has been stamped as "degree requirements met" and so hoepfully the process of securing a teaching license, which will then allow me to solidify the job I've been offered, will be complete. Still not done yet, so it's not a total sigh of relief yet, but it is a step in that direction.

Wish I could have a coach here to lead me through this process at this point. Time is going so fast, and I need to figure out how to work more effectively for everything to get lined up. I guess we'll see how things are going tomorrow and re-evaluate from there!
