LESS than one day until Homestudy!!!

...LESS than one day until our homestudy! Can you say nervous?

If I thought I was nervous/excited before... I must have been joking myself compared to today. We have less than 24 hours until our homestudy - and I am beyond nervous! Overwhelmed would be putting it lightly.

Luckily, our homestudy is at 2:30pm tomorrow, so I can sleep in -- I already know I'll have a hard time getting to sleep tonight. These past two weeks actually flew by - almost too quickly!

It seems like we still have so much to do - which doesn't make sense, since we were ready two weeks ago. We'd probably be ready now, but putting that portable shell around the new dishwasher really dirtied the kitchen - luckily it actually cleaned up fast. Still more to do in there, but not much.

The windows (and everything else!) are this afternoons challenge... most are double vinyl windows, but we have a couple metal ones still left and they are such a pain. Luckily, we have a steamer that works really well for that, but still a pain.

I just keep worrying our social worker will get here tomorrow and go "No Way!" or "Several more visits - you need to do this and this and this" or even worse "DeClInEd" - for whatever reason that isnt fixable: Ceiling height, house in general, etc... things that aren't really 'fixable'.

Hopefully she doesn't look in the fridge either, its pretty bare at the moment - besides lots of condiments, onions, potatos, yogurt and milk. The freezer is full at least and the cupboards not too bad. (We meant to go grocery shopping the other day, but didn't have the chance too - and wont be able to tonight either.)

I know being this nervous is normal and inevitable, but wow... I was a lot more calm a few weeks ago. Since I know its going to be tomorrow, I am just plain nervous!
