The latest developments (and I'm really starting to hate the state of IL about now!):
I called the Dept of Licensing to ask about personally delivering my paperwork to get things done faster. She asked if I sent in my application with my temp license info. I said no cause I was waiting on other paperwork. She said waiting for that wasn't necessary. The temp license would cover me until I got everything else in. Ok, so NOW you tell me!!
So, she said bringing it up there wouldn't benefit me anymore than sending it next day mail, which I did today, and it will be delivered by noon tomorrow.
I also put in a note, pleading with them to expedite my temp license so I can start work on Aug 25th. I'm calling next Thursday to see if they completed it, as they don't post that info online like WI does, and I don't care to be at the mercy of the USPS. They said my employer can also call to verify the info.
So, now it's just a waiting game, I suppose. In the meantime, I'll continue getting my house put together!
Continue keeping me in your prayers. And thanks again to everyone.

I've gone and done it now! I'm on Facebook!!!
I posted about a washer/dryer that I needed. The guy I was going to buy those from hasn't contacted me since, so I gave up, but my sister's pastor had a stackable one, and I looked at it last night.
It's the right size, so I talked to him about the conditions and how and when I'd be paying for it. He told me to pay $100 and he'd let me have it owing the rest.
Well, I don't get paid until Sept 10th at the earliest, but I didn't say anything but thanks, and I'd be in touch.
I talked to my sister on the way home and she told me that she'd see what she could do after paying her bills. I told her not to worry about it, and I talked to God and asked Him to intervene.
LR called me after I got home, and I told her about the conversation. She asked if I needed her to deposit money into my account (that's still in WI) and I told her no, not yet, as I was going to see what my options were. While talking to her, my sister calls again.
She tells me that I can pick up the washer/dryer whenever, as the pastor called Dad and told him that he couldn't let me wait that long when he knew I needed it right away!
So, I picked it up today, and after spending about an hour getting it into the laundry room (that's another story, but this house isn't built right!), all I had to buy was a dryer vent.
Oh, and I discovered a pinhole in the drain hose. It's plastic, and to replace it would mean I have to take the back off the washer, which I wasn't about to do, so I got some rope caulk and clear plastic packing tape and VOILA!! I'm a genius.....LOL!
I did four loads of laundry today, and I'm a happy girl.
God is watching out for me, even though I'm so undeserving.
Now.....Wednesday is my big day.

Maybe you've already said this, but my brain is foggy. LOL! Did you end up moving to Herrin?
