AWOL

I know, I know, I've been AWOL for a while now and some of you have asked if I'm still alive...well, I am but barely. The last couple of weeks have been super crazy. We're moving to a suburb of Columbus, OH, called Hilliard, which is an hour away and we have been going every chance we can get trying to find a house. Since we're still busy being parents and having Camden's schedule to deal with we eventually made ourselves sick from burning the candle at both ends. Long story, more complaining, and three weeks later we are now at this point:
we might be possibly putting an offer on a house today, if our realtor will ever call us back!,

Camden starts a new swim lesson class*(he finally moved up after over a year at the same level!),

I found out my drug dealer neighbor, whom I share a common wall with, was burglarized while I was home Friday afternoon and didn't hear a thing! The thieves stole $20,000 CASH!! and lots of stereo equipment...why does a single guy have that much cash in his apartment?...because he's a DRUG DEALER!!! Karma is awesome however I don't feel comfortable having thugs come raid his apartment looking for their money!,

I'm trying to get Camden into a preschool that I can afford and have been playing phone tag with the school trying to find a time to go and see it since it's also an hour away,

Did I mentiont that Aidan has had a double ear infection since January, been on meds the whole time, and finally has an appointment with an ENT Doc on Friday to put tubes in?,

And, I'm definately freaking out trying to decide if I want any more children EVER! Aidan will turn two in three months, which is the age that Camden was when we started trying to have another baby...I don't know what to do. I get so irritable with two kids, how can I possibly think of having another? And what if it's a girl? I'd die!!,

I've started a new exercise program to lose 15 pounds and my arms are killing me from shoulder presses( I minor complaint I know, but worth mentioning since it hurts to hold the phone!),

Last, but certainly not least, I'm taking my final tomorrow morning on the Psychological Development of Adolescents and I have studied for it yet!

So that's been the last month in a nutshell. All of life's curve balls don't seem that bad when taken one at a time but when they all come flying at you at once, I just want to run and hide.

Other than all that grown-up stuff, my boys are doing great! Camden spent a week with the grandparents and loved every minute of it! Aidan is talking a TON! He's like a little parrot that repeats every word/phrase that he hears. Camden is also doing better with drawing, I'll post a picture of my favorite drawing. The lines on the forehead are supposed to be "furrow" lines like Nate has. Too funny. I laughed till I cried when I saw it. Nate wasn't as impressed. :) Easter was spent with Nate's parents and that was nice.

Now, I need to go take a shower because I haven't had one yet, despite having worked out at 9am this morning. Gross I know. Hopefully by the end of the week, we'll have a house, my final will be over with, and I can think about picking up the other balls on the ground that I've dropped in the juggle of life.

It might be a good idea to postpone your decision about #3 for a few months, until after you have moved and gotten settled.
