Fell off the wagon...

OK SO... my plan didn't exactly work out. I did however get my house cleaned up like planned. A couple loads of laundry done. I just have to wait for the dryer to be done to add the last load in it. So at least I did get some things done between e-mails and checking for news..lol

It was stronger than me... I did shut the computer down and at lunch I was sitting right in front of it and it was calling my name... "Sue, check your mail... it will only take a second" and of course I did, and had a couple messages. I replied to a question regarding a possible escort I was arranging for another child coming home and then spent most of my day e-mailing back and forth with this particular adoptive mom... Ends up she will probably come with me when it's time to get Tamaya as her son is in the same stages and *should* be ready at the same time. So... you see. There is always something. Then tonight around 7ish my dear hubby came on-line and I got to chat with him... So this whole closing the computer down thing wont work, but I am going to make sure it doesn't take over my life. I feel at a calm enough place that I can be less obsessive about it.

I do feel much more at ease with our wait. I heard rumours that the guy that is holding up the files has been replaced... which is good because no other families should suffer going through that. Now usually when someone is replaced in Haiti it takes them a while to settle in, but whatever... I can't do anything about it, so why stress about it.

I really feel it in my heart that she will be home soon. I don't know when, but even if it's a couple months down the road this is my time to enjoy the time I have being a mom of one, because soon enough my life will be full of changes... getting to know my precious sweetie and possible hardships with Ty about it...lol. I know I have said it before, but as much as I want her sooner than later, I rather Steve be home for her homecoming because I believe that it will be the most beneficial for all of us.

I have a date Friday night. :-) My friend Stephanie invited me for dinner and a movie. I have booked a sitter and I am looking forward to going out. Now please pray that she can get someone to watch her kids as well.

Only a month and a half and Steve will be home. Christmas back home certainly helped me pass a month fairly quickly.

Tomorrow I will go get my son :-) :-) :-) :-) I have enjoyed the break I have had these last couple days. It gave me time to think and to refresh. My dear son told my mom that he put pee in her shoe and sure enough when she checked it out HE DID. He has quite an imagination. He was telling my dad today that Tamaya also needed a life jacket. He talks about her so much (like an imaginary friend) that I am scared when the reality hits he will NOT be happy. I guess if I prepare myself for the worst case scenario I should be ok..lol. I explained that when she comes home he will have to lead by example and show her how to be good. He then proceed to tell me he will show her how to make a face.. then put him tongue out and spit all over my face... good times, good times.

I can't believe Ty is going to be going to school in September already. ME OH MY. And it will be full days all week. I called the school to see when the registration was because back home they were this week, but it's not until next month. Then I heard of other parents already putting their children on the list for nursery -school next year and I thought instead of waiting to see where I am in October, that I should put Tamaya on the list right away so I don't miss out on a spot. It was nice to be able actually start planning for her being here. I don't know if she will be ready to go, but at least I have a confirmed spot if she is. :-)

Well my laundry should be dry.. * I HOPE* then I will get my kiester in bed so I can get to bed early to make my trek to get him in the morning. Jezzzz I felt like I "talked" alot tonight...probably just babbling because I am tired.
