Blah

Sorry to be such a bore lately, folks. I say this as if I'm usually so witty and entertaining! I'm feeling a little "blah" lately because we're in a bit of a lull while waiting for our 171-H and I really wish there was something adoption related I could to feel more proactive. But this, of course, is typical of the entire hurry-up-and-wait process. Maybe I should enjoy this down-time before the whole notarizing, certifying, and authenticating process starts...which leads to the ultimate wait - the 6-7 month wait to see Gracie's sweet face. Nah, forget the down-time. I need two hands to count the years of down-time I've had. Let's get this show on the road!

And of course it's that time of the month...referral time! I get the warm and fuzzies to see all those little faces of referrals popping up everwhere. While this makes me feel hopeful and happy, it also makes me feel extremely impatient and like our time will never get here. It's kind of like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. I wish my magic wand wasn't broken so I could just wave it and Grace would suddenly be in our arms. Darn magic wand...

Well, enough of this woe is me talk. Maybe I need some retail therapy to lift my spirits. Momma needs a new pair(s) of shoes!
