I have been pretty conservative in my purchases, a little here, a little there. Steve gets paid today though, so watch out! Just kidding, I can't do that when The big Dave Ramsey thing is tonight. It will have to wait til maybe Sunday, when his voice is not ringing in our ears.
We did have friends offer bunks for the girls to share, so that will be very helpful. I am not sure how long they will share a room, maybe a year. Autumn will be in middle school in a year and that will be nice for her to have her own room. We wouldn't want to complicate the life of pre-teen girl anymore than it already will be. I do not look back fondly on the pre-teen years, partly because I was not pretty and that is well documented and partly because it just sucks to go through puberty!
We have lots of planning and preparing and blah blah, but really if we could pick her up tomorrow we would and it would be fine.

LOL :) Ok, this just shows you my very very large compulsive side!!! I do not do well AT ALL with last minute!! So, I just have this need to do as much now as I can!! Plus it keeps me busy and occupied so I dont think about how you and I have not yet gotten our court dates...GRR!! :)
Suitcase #1 is half of our donations: 9 cans of formula and 10packs of diapers, blankets, books, spoons, toothbrushes, underwear. Suitcase #2 will be the other part of our donations: more diapers, 15 cloth diapers (those are what I am waiting on), school supplies, and some other stuff. I am trying to not have to pay to bring donations so that we can just give the money we would have to pay to bring them.
I emailed my swk today and she said she had not hear anything....right now though, I really just want Shadley to get her news and be on her way!!!!!
