My friend Heather tagged me. I am supposed to share 6 words to describe my feelings. Okay, I'll try! But like you, Heather, it might take a few more than 6 words!
1. Dirty - Our hot water heater isn't working. I'd really like a shower. Hey...you asked!
2. Excited - We start a new school year in a week. I just pulled copies of activities we will need for week #1. I also hung the big wall map. On day one the girls will have their pictures made and apply for their pretend passports. I hope they enjoy this curriculum...I think it looks great!
3. Frustrated - Goes back to the no hot water thing. And is it just me or do a lot of my posts deal with something being broken around here?
4. Loved - A long weekend with my husband was just what I needed after a pretty hard week last week.
5. Relieved - Betsie is sleeping pretty well in her big girl bed. The transition from the crib to the toddler bed was a bit of a nightmare. I was dreading the move to the real bed. But she has slept pretty well the last few nights and I am SO relieved! As much as I love the little darling, come bed time, I really want to say nighty night and not see her again until the next morning. (Now if she could just figure out part 2 of potty training.)
6. Nervous - I really want to have a good school year with my girls this year. Last year was such a challenge. If the first few weeks go well, it would be SO encouraging to me. So I am a little nervous, but at least I am sure that the girls are where they belong for another year. (Prayed pretty hard about it for this school year...wasn't so sure there for a while) So if you think of us next week, we'd be thankful for any prayers for our first week!
*update: We have hot water! Got it last night around 7pm and didn't even have to replace the hot water heater...although that happening soon is a real possibility since ours has outlived its life expectancy. But we're all squeaky clean! Yippee!

Sounds like you are going the emotional gambit too. Glad Betsie is adjusting so well to the big girl bed! And good luck with starting your school year next week!! Hope the hot water heater gets fixed soon, that's never fun. Take care my friend and thanks for playing! ;)
Jen, I will be praying for you next week. I am excited to hear how it goes!!
So glad you got your hot water working! ;)
Glad that hot water got fixed - I don't know how people live without hot water. Whenever ours goes out I have to immediately start boiling water in stock pots. Even when the power goes out - I put one on the kerosene heater. It is a necessity for my sane survival.
I'll be praying for your school year. New beginnings are wonderful things. Betsie's being a year older will probably be a great help too.
