Miscellaneous
Teacher in-service started today. (I'm brain dead.)
Our worker from the agency called to set up the home study. (Of course, my first day back!)
For Saturday. (Oh my goodness, this could soon be over... or just beginning!)
I'm excited and nervous. (Pleaseletherlikeus. Pleaseletherlikeus.)
Any tips?

It's About Time
After waiting 3 weeks for our home study/interview to be scheduled, I finally emailed yesterday to find out how much more waiting we would have to endure. The result: we've been assigned a person who will be contacting us soon to set up both the study and the interview. I love our agency and I'm so glad we're going through them, but sometimes I have to wonder how much longer we would have waited to hear from them if I hadn't emailed.
Our baby/toddler room is almost completely finished. The crib has been put together, art is hanging on the wall, and my sewing machine has been put to the test. The only thing left is a dresser, which we've been searching cra.igs li.st for everyday. Once it's all finished, I'll post pictures on here. I can't wait to share it!
I'll leave you with this short video of a joke, that once you hear the punchline, you'll find yourself saying it over and over. Seriously. Have a great weekend!

I heart etsy.
Etsy has become one of my favorite sites this summer. I love looking through the handpicked collections to see what others really like. And there's so much to like because etsy has so many fun items!
Here are some of my favorites:
How about you? Do you love etsy? Or do you have another site you browse religiously? ;)

What I've been doing today...
Tracking the shipping progress of the replacement parts for our crib- since the box arrived with two broken pieces. Fingers crossed that everything comes in one piece today!

My Top 10
So after complaining about being bored in a recent post, I thought I might sound a little ungrateful about having a summer off where I could become bored. I love teaching. I'm not sure I'm ready yet to go back, but I know once I'm back, it's where I belong. In the meantime, here are my top 10 favorite things about having the summer off:
10. Staying up as late as I want to watch The Real Housewives of (choose your city) without worrying about work the next day. Wait, did I just admit that I watch that show? I don't like drama in my life, but love the drama that goes on in that show.
9. Grocery shopping- Of course I go grocery shopping during the school year, but now I get to go in the morning, and not after 5 or on the weekends when the rest of the world is purchasing their goods for the week. I don't like crowds. And crowds pushing baskets are even worse.
8. Lunch with friends- I love going to lunch with friends- which is also something I don't get to do during the school year. Our favorite lunch spots include Chick fil-a and Chuy's, a local Mexican restaurant.
7. Posting on my blog because I actually have the time and energy to write. Also included is keeping up with others' blogs and having the above-mentioned time and energy to comment. It's a win-win situation for all. :)
6. This summer I've enjoyed being able to get everything accomplished on our foster to-do list. I think checking everything off a list is one of the best feelings in the world.
5. Girls Weekend- My sisters and sister-in-law get together every summer for a weekend of fun, shopping, eating, and relaxing with each other. This year, the get-together is being held in my town so it'll be extra fun to show them around my city.
4. Sleeping in. I. love. sleeping. in.
3. Reading books. My reads this summer have included The Politician by Andrew Young (seriously, I couldn't put this book down. If you enjoy politics and a good read, you have to read this. And it's pretty cheap on Amazon.) I also love James Patterson books and the occasional romance.
2. Being the kissee, not the kisser. haha. When school is in session, I leave the house before D so I always kiss him good-bye. During the summer, he kisses me on the forehead while I'm still in bed before he leaves for the day. Then I turn over and go back to sleep. ;)
1. Big Brother. I know, you're probably thinking, "Man, this girl likes her reality tv." I love Big Brother. I wait eagerly each summer for it to start up again. In fact, it started while we were in CO on vacation, so I dvr'd the episodes while we were gone. We caught up on it this weekend. I know. We have no life.
What about you? What are your favorite things about summer- whether you get a break from work or not?
