Today

Today I am waiting.

Waiting for 12:00 so my work week is over...

Waiting to hear back from Congressman Blackburn's office about my USCIS paperwork...

Waiting for news from my baby sister who is in labor right now having my first niece! Baby Sister's blog

Waiting for spring to get here so I can de-germify my house and get rid of the strep-bugs that plague us...

Waiting for a call back from a grant application...

Just WAITING.
