HS Update

I spoke with someone from our agency on Monday and she apologized for the delay in my hs approval. She stated that they had a lot of out of state applicants and that they were behind. She promised to get started on it tomorrow(Tues). So I don't know if it takes a week after she starts on it or what. ARRRGGGGHHHH, I am trying so hard to practice patience. I know God's hand is over all of this and everything will happen when it should. I just want to get the paperwork part done with and let the real waiting begin.

I'm also attempting to diet so I can't self medicate with chocolate. Such a cruel, cruel world!!!

No news is No news!

Well it's now been 2 weeks since my homestudy was submitted. I called and left a message at the agency. No word yet. I am really getting my nickers in a wad because the approval normally is granted within a day or so of the agency receiving it. What on earth is in mine that's taking it so long. Hubby and I have a wonderful loving home, ready for a baby. The hoops that we have to jump through are just ridiculous. I'm feeling blue today anyway so this is just the reason I need to throw myself a big pity party. WAAAAAAAAA, Poor Me!!!

Another School Tragedy

Well by now you've all heard about today's tragedy at Virginia Tech. My God, my God, what kind of world are we living in? It seems that our children are not safe ANYWHERE. My heart goes out to all of the families and other students. How will I be able to protect my sweet Gracie in a world of madness.

Saturday Nite Blues

Another Sat nite and hubby and I are home watching the ole telly. I can't help but imagine how different our life will be once Gracie comes. I know it will be challenging but oh so, so rewarding as well. I was checking our adoption forum and reading about all of the new referrals (children). How I wish I could speed ahead 9 months and we would be posting about our prescious baby girl. Oh well, all in God's time. Once we finally get on the waiting list, I'm going to start buying a few things for the nursery. That will be FUN, FUN, FUN

Homestudy Hold Up

Hello All,
Well today I called our agency because we still haven't heard anything regarding our homestudy approval. I was getting very anxious. Turns out they were waiting for 1 document from our sw that I told her to send on Monday. She said THEY told her she could send it later. Come on folks, we've got to do better than this. We already have a several months long wait AFTER all of the paperwork is completed, I don't need unneccesary speed bumps now. She faxed it over and hopefully the approval will be given in the next few days. Then on to the dossier.

In other news. Check out my blog header. Cute huh?! My friend Kena made it pretty for me. I just love it. Shout out to Kena, Thanks Lady!

Nappy Headed Hos!

Thank God, they've fired that horse's behind, Don Imus!!!! I feel so good that for once this type of racist hatred won't be tolerated. A big thank you to CBS, MSNBC, & the advertisers that pulled their ads. I've just been beside myself ever since this story broke. As you all can see, I myself look like the young ladies he so viciously verbally attacked (with a few extra years on me of course) I felt personally offended as I'm sure many AA women and women in general for that matter. When my Gracie comes, I'm going to teach her to have an inner strength and beauty that can't be sullied by such ignorance. Also, I might get her some boxing lessons in case the inner strength doesn't work! (wink)
