weeping like a bathtub overflowing
SO much is going on right now. I really shouldn't even be taking the time to blog, but I feel like if I don't get it out, my head might explode, so please bear with me whilst I expound a few things.
First of all, it was unwise to attempt moving/buying our first home/leaving our friends/spending tons of money on a Europe trip knowing all this was coming down the pike resulting in our need to work excessively to build our savings back up for down payment etc./trying for a baby, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. It wasn't just unwise, it was damn near crazy. TOTALLY WACKADOO. But, there isn't anything to be done about it now. We're in the thick of things and there is no turning back.
So, what do we have? An apartment in shambles, a wife who is an emotional equivalent of a mento inside a liter of diet coke away from a breakdown, a husband who has to work 12 hours a day just to help keep this ship afloat, and 3 cats who really don't have any idea what's going on, but enjoy exacerbating the situation by knocking over valuable items and generally being a pain in the butt.
But, we also have the good side of things... Someone please tell me what those are. ;)
In other news, I have always called a low lying table in the middle of a living room, a "coffee" table. In OKC, apparently, they call them "cocktail" tables. Say what you will about Oklahomans, but they know how to party and they call a spade, a spade. When was the last time we had coffee on our coffee table? Who knows? ...and by that method, a desk should really be called a coffee table, but I digress...I will hereby be referring to a low lying table in the middle of a living room, as a "cocktail" table. It's my new thing. I'm practicing being an Oklahoman.

I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed, I can absolutely relate!! On the up side, you are getting a BEAUTIFUL house that others would just KILL for, you have mad style like nobody I've ever met, and you've been to PARIS!!
I love you, hang in there!

You might feel better if your desk was a cocktail table too...
