Zero

My countdown has reached zero...today Jordan comes home as well as Sydney. Too many days since we last saw him in August and even if I have seen Sydney I miss her. Maybe because for the most part we are connected by text or a phone call and when we miss a day, I miss her. The excitement is too much to bear  so Harley and Libby are taking naps in preparation for our long day of waiting. I can only imagine today will drag out as the past week has.
Harley had a bath yesterday and smells so much better! She is trotting around here with such pride. You know, because I can translate her many lethargic looks. Happy, remorseful, sad, sickly...they are all the same but the twinkle of her eyes different. Hah! No, I am not a dog whisperer.
Lots to do this next week...Sydney wanted to be sure to keep the tree cutting tradition alive so we have waited. Cutting a tree, in the rain no doubt, is first on the list. Lighting it, decorating it, loving it! Chinese food is a "must do" as well...my son is wanting to satisfy his craving. And we must finish our shopping. Crunch time with the others that have procrastinated. Not looking forward to this...at all.
Did I mention the kids will be home today?!  So excited :)

12-12-12

The wedding chapel in Vegas is probably filled today for the memorable date...maybe I should buy a lottery ticket too. The Chinese are all about lucky numbers, I wonder how this one translates. After the crazy shooting at Clackamas Town Center yesterday, I'm just hoping for a peaceful quiet day. 12-12-12, how did your day go?
