It's a date!

So the week before last the social worker called and let me know--it's official--we have a date...

April 16, 2008-- ADOPTION DAY!

Who's freaking out???


I AM! I AM!

When I start to think about how the handicap van needs new brakes, an oil change and a tune-up. We need to buy a spare tire too just in case and the GAS... prices have shot up. Hotel rooms, food, cramming 5 kids, their suitcases and all hubs medical equipment that needs to go in the van. The DRIVE! ARGH!

Things are a little tight with the increased car insurance, the new van payment, Easter and what I thought were 2 First Holy Communions this month. Luckily, we were able to push back the Communions until May but even so, I am nearly all set for that thanks to a gift from God.

We are set for Easter. Easter outfits were already bought (and will double for Adoption outfits) as were Easter baskets so that's all taken care of.

I know God will come through for us,despite their mother's sabotage, because this has obviously been what he has been working towards. It's just scary knowing that I am the one that still has to pull it all off. I know I will, I always do but my shoulders are so heavy.

I've been sick and I suppose that's making me more sensitive. Maybe?

It will all work out. It's going to be here before we even know it and we will be a forever family.
