8:12

Today has been interesting. Brett isn't coming home tonight. He's in Atlanta and doesn't come home until late Sat. night. So, I'll put Baby Kate down about now and I guess I'll just clean, pack and listen to Indigo Girls.

Indigo Girls. I can't explain it, but there are times when this wave washes over me and I HAVE to listen to Indigo Girls for a few days. It started today. Maybe it's the rain. Maybe it's because I'm a little lonely. Some of their songs kill me. Honestly, I can't divulge which ones, but trust me, some of them....

8:13 If you don't know who the Indigo Girls are, I am sorry. If you think they are weird, I'm sorry. The words are poetry and the harmonies are, well they just are. I'm listening to Ghost right now. The bridge of this song is so sweet. Ahh.

We're waiting to hear back from an offer we put on a rental house in La Canada. I thought we would hear by today, but no such luck. Wow, I'm getting really good at waiting for stuff. These past two years, I feel like all I have done is practice patience and wait. I know it's good for me. I hope I remember lessons learned.

No bites yet on our house here either. The market stinks. I could honestly see this country sinking into a deeper depression instead of climbing out of this. We are likely going to have to rent this home out for a while so we don't have to sell it right now. Again, I will probably have to keep waiting up until the day we move before I'll know what the heck we're doing. Mr. Moving Truck Driver Guy will ask, "Where to?" I'll say, "Uh..hmmm...California? Just drive."

8:15. 8:16. Quiet house. Buzzing of the refrigerator to my right. Water droplets hitting the sink behind me. A click from the oven heating up to bake the cookies that I have to make while listening to Indigo Girls and cleaning and packing. 8:17. 8:18.

Two more short weeks of school. One week of summer and then that's it Utah. The movers show up and we are official Californians. The awesome and dreaded choir concert this week. I cried through the last one. How am I going to make it through this one? ugh. Is Spencer really graduating? Will he really be at BYU while we are in California?

On the positive, we are all healthy. The kids' grades are all great. Kate makes me happy every day. Spence makes me laugh every day. My girls keep me company every day. Brett is loving his job and looking forward to having us there every day. I had lunch with my mom and sisters for mom's b-day. Love you mom! My house is warm and comfortable. I might get to have a house with a pool. I have a whole bunch of new Wings CDs to listen to.

Back to complaining. I might just go get in bed. 8:24. Weekends are not meant to be missing husbands and fathers. 8:25.

No more random musings tonight. e
