I am not even on the wait list yet and I am learning how to wait. Do we ever get good at it? Gladney has our home study. It takes 10 business days to review it. Meanwhile, we keep imagining who or how many we are missing from our dinner table. Reading the blogs of the families who have recently brought home their babies has been a tylenol for the waiting headache. I am normally a type A personality that has more than enough to do... now put that on Red Bull. I signed up for my Anatomy and Physiology class and lab. I signed up for a bible study (had my first class and love it). I am working at Williams-Sonoma. Sit on the steering committee for a fund raising for my junior's school. Trying to fit in yoga, time with my friends, cleaning the house, and cooking. By the way, I get all this done while the kids are at school because I am a stay at home mom. Do you see a pattern? It is a form of nesting for me. Get everything done before our sweet pea gets to us. Most of those items have an end date. An end date that will be before we will travel. So meanwhile, I get my comfort from seeing other families made and competed.
This weekend we are going to the Ethiopian New Years Celebration close to Boston. We are bringing two of our kids (Andrew has a game in Maine), one of their friends, and a good friend of mine. We will see new friends there.
Love does not make the world go around; Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
