One Foot in Front of the Other

We're actually having the home inspection.  I never thought it would come to that.  It just seemed like the home study would never end; we would forever be under the microscope, talking about ourselves and exposing some of our most inner thoughts.  It got pretty personal at times and emotional going through some of the tougher times.  As far as the house goes I think it's pretty much in order except for the two extra rooms; they need renovation.  The one room where our daughter is has been redone but two more rooms need a make over and so does ours but it will be the last on the list.  The den which our niece used as a bedroom was recently painted a nice bright yellow but a little too bright and I might still want to change it.  My books will probably come back into it and some of our grandson's toys though one of the two, extra rooms will still be his room.  So, still lots of work ahead but for now, for the inspection they have been cleaned up the best they can be and it will do.  She will get the idea that there is room here for the child.  I wish we were further ahead and that our dossier was already in China so that we may be able to look at some children's files but as it is we'll have to keep plugging along, one foot in front of the other to get through the home study of all home studies.  I'm hoping that once this is done the rest will be a breeze.
