Humdrum

Well, my blogfriend, Muriel, motivated me to write! My students had the word humdrum as one of their vocabulary words this week - that is how things feel right now. Work has preocupied my mind and been a blessing. During the summer I really started to think I was losing my mind :-)

I am so happy that another friend in blogland is home with her beautiful daughter! They are as happy as can be and I feel blessed to have watched their journey unfold. Another blogfriend recently arrived and has her daughter - hooray!!! Lisa definately deserves the joy she is experiencing right now. She went through many ups and downs throughout this journey! God bless you and your dauhghter, Lisa...she is a sweet angel.

It seems that people travel in waves. Sometimes it seems lik everyone is traveling and other times it feels like nothing is happening out there in Adoption World. We are all just sitting in the waiting room trying to occupy ourselves :-)

I am getting pretty nervous about the finances. It really will hit hard for us both to be without a paycheck for such an extended period of time. My hubby is worried about work since unlike me he cannot get a sub :-) He works for a small company and they will surly feel his absence. I am praying for a few things right now: an expedited LOI, our son to be in a good region, and for the waiting period to be waved by the judge when we are there.

I am also worried about our cat! Seems crazy, right? She is a spoiled kitty and we will be leaving her behind for longer than she has EVER been without us. My MIL will be here to feed her, etc...but she is used to being with us ever second when we are home. Poor baby! She'll probably be soooo mad at us when we come home - and when I arrive with a baby in tow she'll really be upset - lol.

So, not much to report. I just remembered one other person scheduled to travel soon. I'm going to go check her blog and see if she left yet. I hope everyone has a great weekend and gets some good news in the coming week!!!
