Survival Mode and Nesting.

I remember when we brought our boys home from the hospital and we were so tired and didn't know what to do.  So, we kicked in what we affectionately call " Survival Mode".  We did what we had to do to get through the first couple of weeks.  We let our babies sleep with us, we ate terrible fast food, the house did not get clean and we let our babies sleep in the baby swing or car seat ! 
Well, here we are again in " SURVIVAL MODE".  Our fridge is stocked with Coke ( we usually just drink water) and cinnamon rolls and we've been eating sandwiches for lunch and dinner for the past week. The boys have been sleeping on pallets in our room and they have played way too much WII.  It is just like it was when we brought our babies home. But, we are packed, the house is not a total disaster and we have tried to really focus on the boys this past week. Actually, it was Chuck that mentioned we were in "SURVIVAL MODE" and it hit me - even though we are adopting and the circumstances are different - bringing home Maggie feels the same as bringing home my boys.   Even down to physical changes in my body, lack of sleep and emotional highs and lows.
Oh, and I also am nesting really,really bad.  I nested with the boys and this is no different !
Everything seems cluttered and I have an overwhelming desire to throw away everything and clean.
Even my Blog seems junky and cluttered ! My wonderful friends are coming over this weekend to mop and dust for me while we are gone to take the boys to their Grandparents. I am so thankful for their love and support.
I am also thankful for all the prayers that are being said for us and for Maggie. We are stepping out on Faith right now in every area of our lives and it has been incredible to see God's hand in everything and His purpose fulfilled.
