Well over the last week or so I have broken my resolution to try and post something on here every day. Between things at work being Hell, being depressed about the lack of information on the wait, and a general lack of time at home I just have not had the heart to post anything.
So what has happened over the last week or so...
Well I finally got my riding mower started after some minor repair work to mow down close to a foot of grass. Ran for about an hour and the motor had a piston or a rod go so I have to come up with $$$ to replace it. Not the best time, especially while trying to save money for completing the adoption and finishing the addition on the house. I also just paid for our pellets for our pellet stove for next season so there really isn't alot of money to go around right now.
At the same time I am having problems with a porcupine chewing on the addition and the back of the shed. I have not caught him in the act, and I have not had the time or $$ yet to go pick up a trap. Unfortunately that is probably the only way that I am going to catch him.
And the Bath Tub Faucets have decided that they do not want to shut off and that will require me to cut the tub enclosure to replace them which will probably be an all day job, and it will cost $$$. And I hate plumbing!!
A positive note is that the pool is open and running and just waiting for the sun to warm it up enough to go swimming. The new covers that I bought worked great and it is very clear and clean and will need a minimum of cleaning before swimming.
So all of this should tell you that life has been stress, lack of time, lack of sleep, body aches, and no money....
On the adoption front, rumors are flying about how long the wait will be and how far they will get this month. Unfortunately I am so fed up with the process right now that I almost wonder if we will ever finish it. I want to be a father so badly and we have no idea if we will even pass review, and if we do when will we actually see our little girl for the first time? It is weeks like this one that really makes you begin to wonder if the dream of having a child is ever going to happen..
Well I guess that is enough for today..
Next time I will probably talk about another couple topics flying around the IA community, What to do if people pick on your child and how to respond to I was your last choice for having a child.
