Officially in the Pool, Organizing and Car Test Driving!

Well we are officially in the pool!  Which makes me PANIC and have severe excitement all at the same time!  I guess it is kind of like looking at a stick with a pink plus sign, only you have no idea when you will deliver, minus the delivering :)  You thought I was a crazy nester before?  Watch out!  At one point on Sunday when I was in high drive organize mode, hubs stared at me and said, "It is going to be ok."  It is weird, in my 'organize' or 'cleaning' mode, I am not really feeling anxious as much as intense focus.  Whenever the smiley, wild Bumpless Mama is anything other than smiley, wild Bumpless Mama, people freak out.  This has happened since I was young.  Like, (yep I started a sentence with Like!), we would be in a study group and I would be focused/reading and someone would chime in, "You ok, you seem sad?"  I mean, should I be laughing and doing cartwheels while I read?  Even at work, if I am just having a tired/quiet day, not dancing and singing all around not doing my job, you'd think I had just wept like a baby on the floor, "Everything ok at home?  The adoption overwhelming?"   Nope, actually, I am just human and tired today!  It happens! ;)

I DO get it though, from the outside looking in, when I am in clean/organize mode, one may think I am having a meltdown of anxiety, but it is just extreme focus which results in me hopping around like the energizer bunny, getting stuff done at top speed. My mom has told me she has never seen anyone clean as fast as me, and when I was young, if she saw my room looking like a tornado had hit, she didn't really worry because she knew I could clean it with the snap of my fingers.  I kind of become the tornado....of cleanliness. 

 

Today after work we are going to hit up the Honda Dealership and test drive the CRV.  I considered the Odyssey but I dunno, me and large vehicles may be dangerous to other cars, old woman and mailboxes.  So I may start of small and graduate to a larger SUV or Minivan when I am groooowwn n sexxxaaay.  That being said, anyone who lives nearby, stay off the streets tonight.  Wild Woman is out and about in a car she is not used to!

Don't be afraid, lil bean, I have a great lil carseat for you!
