Ok. My day has been so out of control that I have to make a list or I will never get it all out.
1) Payday. Aka: pay your damn electric bill day!
2) Casey is contemplating coming to see me. He gets off work at 9pm and won't get here till midnight. I have to work at 7am tomorrow. Hmmm. Wonder what this trip is centered around? I'm not sure how I feel about that. Like a piece of meat?
3) Found out yesterday that I'm closing on Tues. September 2nd. Folks, I will have the keys to my house in my hand in less than 5 days. I have to be out of my apartment on September 18th. That's 16 days to basically scrub the house top to bottom, paint every single room, re-floor the laundry room, rip the carpet up in the entire house, pack all my shit up, move out of the apartment and into the house, and clean the apartment. Fuck. Ohhh Mom!
4) Sitting at my desk. At work 3 hours early, because I'm an overachiever. Answering phones, going about my business I glance up to greet whatever family member or resident has entered and I see none other than my best friend Nick standing there! WTF! I nearly had a heart attack (In hindsight, I suppose if I was going to have a heart attack at least there were 2 nurses with in 20 ft of me...) I was speechless. I jumped up and gave him a hug, he was laughing. Asshole! Very cute surprise, yet asshole none the less. So the story is that they got done with this hoopla training exercise 2 days early and they all got a 5 day weekend. He went and begged for clearance to come home and see his cousin before he leaves for Iraq on the 2nd. They gave it to him at 1:30am this morning and he was on a flight at 9am. Fucking crazy. Who cares! Nick is home! Only till Monday. Oh shit. Wait. Case is coming tonight. Yikes!
5) Several of my co-workers advice has gone along the lines of "Casey tonight, Nick tomorrow night and it will all work out!" Wow. I'm at a loss for words. How did this happen? To me of all people? Oy.
6) I have had a weird feeling in my tummy all day. At first I thought it was the prospect of seeing Case. Nervous and what not. But then I confessed that I was nervous to Casey and he said he was too and I felt a little better. But I still had this strange feeling like something was going to happen. Low and behold, my senses are right on the money!
7) The fair is this week. Normally I fucking love the fair. The food, the games, the rides, the merchants, old friends, fair friends, cane polls, the 4-H projects, the concerts, demo derby's, tractor pulls and cowboy hats. But this year something isn't in me. I'm not that excited about it. I really can't go anyway because of my jobs. Sucks.
8) My sister kicked ass showing her lambs today. Woot! It's the blood. Were all very competitive.
9) My apartment is still kinda a mess. Shit. Fuck. And now Nick is here too! God. I hate people seeing my house messy.
10) See 1 - 9 and I honestly wonder how I haven't had a panic attack yet. However, I'm really not having work right now.

Regarding #8... Just to be clear, the good lamb-raising is in your blood, or it's the actual blood of the lamb that makes them so fantastic?
Also, hang in there with all of the crazy shit you've gotta do. I'm looking forward to your "If you had unlimited money" post.
Oy is right!! I definately second the feeling on why Casey was coming over. How'd it go with both he and Nick?
You will get everything together with the house. The papers were signed for our house on 5/21 and we had to be out of our townhouse by 5/31. Did I mention we both work and have four kids? Yeah, it was fun.
Just take a deep breath as everything will fall into place. Paint the rooms that you will be using the most as you will be there for a while and can do the rest after you settle. Important things first.
What's this about lamb raising?? You raise lambs?
