I've lost track. Although this isn't directly about adoption, it all leads to the same thing - room for a nursery. We've noticed that when we start a project, in no time at all we then are working on 3 or 4 projects! Our house also seems to get worse before it can get better. Today I have the day off as comp time for conferences. Thank goodness. Here's my day so far, by the numbers:

TWO phone calls to Salvation Army to find out where to donate our furniture.

TWENTY minutes with Ken the carpet guy to measure our basement.

TWO phone calls to Doug at work to ask questions.

ONE phone call from Doug because he's anxious to hear the estimate for the carpeting and keeps checking if I've heard from the carpet guy.

ONE trip to the storage unit...

EIGHT containers put into said storage unit.

ONE trip to the local library - to find out I had to make

ONE other trip to the "central" library (we have 3 branches) to drop off

FOUR boxes of used books.

ONE Swiffer dry cloth to clean floor of nursery, then

TWO Swiffer wet cloths to mop the floor.

THREE trips downstairs to put away paint and supplies.

FOUR trips outside to throw away trash, old paneling, and recycling.

TWO ceiling lightbulbs changed (on ONE stepladder).

TWO loads of laundry to do (possibly 3).

FIVE containers of scrapbooking stuff I want to put away and organize before we leave for Thanksgiving.

All while trying to give attention to TWO cats who get into everything!
