Ordinarily, shopping would bring me great joy and happiness. However, I am not only in the midst of preschool shopping, but it appears that we are now home shopping, as well.

Our first preschool visit this morning went very well. Emma is going to be a stellar student, I can tell already. She jumped right into the classroom like she had been going to school for years. I really loved the school, but it made me very antsy. There is so much depending on if they like us well enough to move us to the top of the waitlist – and I really, really want her to go there. So we need to register and hope for the best. We have a few more schools to tour also, but I am holding out hope for this one.

The home shopping is going to be much more difficult, I am afraid. Due to our situation here (with the new neighbor dog) we are planning on moving out. It breaks my heart, really it does. I love our place. I love our neighborhood and location. And I love most of our neighbors. Just quickly looking through the real estate ads was very depressing this afternoon. There just aren’t many places available that compare to ours.

To think last week Kimmer and I were shopping for cute little girl sundresses and flip flops, that was so much more fun.
