If you listen carefully, you might can hear the churning of my stomach. As of yesterday, our potential land is septic tank approved. There is a For Sale sign in my front yard. And I am feeling quite ill. I am already second-guessing everything about this process. Should we be purchasing land? Should we be selling our house? Can we pick the right house plan for us? Can we afford to do this? My mind is whirling with a lot of questions and worries. My husband will tell me everything is fine. He would say that I worry too much, and that this is what we want. He drives me crazy with his laid-back, nonchalant attitude. One of us has to worry - right?
On a completely different note, my Jillian gave us a Proud Parent Moment this week. On Thursday I got an email from her teacher that said Jillian had read over a million words since school started. We knew she was getting close, but I didn't know she was that close. Not only did she meet this goal - she was the first kid in the entire school (of third, fourth, and fifth graders) to accomplish this feat so far this school year. She loves to read, and I am fairly convinced she will get to at least 2 million before the school year ends!
Harrison has picked up a rather nasty habit of telling me "NO" whenever he doesn't want to do something I ask of him. He never gets away with it. But he does it repeatedly. Sometimes he starts by saying it out loud, gets in trouble, and then starts whispering it. Like I can't hear or see what he is doing. He is so going to test me. He already does.
