It is missing and I am frantically searching for it by cleaning my house and wrapping the presents..maybe it got lost in the dust bunnies or in a shopping bag!
Christmas is just few days away and I just can't seem to get into it this year. I love Christmas but so much stuff has happened in this last year and it is just all weighing heavy on my heart. On top of that I am really getting stressed out about our house in Oregon.
Our home sale does seem to be coming along ... just not quickly enough for my liking. I was really really hoping to be done with a double housing costs by 2012 but alas this is not to be. I am hopeful that our short sale will have approval soon but still it will likely take another couple of months before a closing can happen .. this means a minimum of another two months of double housing payments and it just sucks! My fingers crossed right now that this will go through and life will start looking up a bit on the other side. I keep reminding myself that at least we are all together in the same place and that is a good thing.
On top of the housing stress...another bit of financial stress has now been added with Olivia's braces. We had to get them on her here in 2011 in order to maximize the benefits for insurance purposes and it sucks. Olivia is so very mad at me for making her go through this. I just hope that eventually she will see the benefit of her beautiful smile. For now she is miserable but hopefully the pain of the initial bonding will start to disappear soon. I can help but think how lucky they are back home in Denmark with the school dentist and no concern of having to pay for braces for a child....this crap is so expensive! Magnus will need braces too but not for as long as Olivia will ... poor girl will be in them for at least the next 22 months where Magnus will be done in about 10 months. Hopefully timing will work out well and Magnus can have his put on next September and will be done before starting high school.
...ok off to clean and chase my Christmas spirit out from the corners .. if I can just get a little Christmas snow it might help lighten the mood as well.
