8 months

By -
I had this post all ready about how we have been officially signed up for 8 months for the Burundi program. But I can't post it. I am feeling rotten tonight. I sorta asked my agency for updates through the online group for the Burundi program even if there is nothing big to announce apparently that was a mistake. I feel like I was publicly chastised for wanting a little more information. I just can't seem to get things right and I am really starting to wonder if this parent thing is ever going to happen. I am sure I will feel better tomorrow but I tonight I am just upset.

Today it was blue sky and the sun was shining and it snowed. I was pummeled by icy balls of snow all the way home and I had to wear my sunglasses. Well that about sums up my moods, sunny with a 90% chance of ice balls dropping out of the blue sky.

Next post will be the peasant dresses that I worked on all day yesterday! They are going to be awesome!

I think they were miffed at my post, too...do you think we will ever be in the winner's circle?

Funny how you can't voice your frustrations on the site they have set up supposedly for that purpose.

That's o.k., we can be outcasts together! I love you!

You would think the purpose of the site would be to encourage each other when you get discouraged. Instead of that crap.
I was amazed to see the snow and sun at the same time. That must be rare. I have seen it rain during the sun before, but I don't remember ever seeing it shine and snow at the same time.

Oh Cora and Jim, I'm so sorry. That just really stinks. I can only imagine how frustrated you must feel.

Try to take heart. I know...I AM SURE OF IT to my very core that you guys will be parents. You already are. You just haven't met her yet. {{{Big Hugs}}} heading your way from CT.

Love,
Ame

p.s. I think your Grandma is the best! I love that she checks in on your blogs and comments and offers support and says words like, "crap." Do you think she'd consider adopting another granddaughter? xo

hang in there Cora. About 1 year ago, I posted something that someone "shook their finger at". The only reason I didn't chime in, was we had contacted the agency the day before & voiced our discontent with the situation. Not sure I am any better off now, vs before...frustrating for sure.

How the Hot Water Heater Betrayed me and Other Tales of Woe

By -

I just need to say that the hot water has something against me. It really does! First I take a shower with luke warm water and I go out to tell my husband that he is indeed going to need to fix it. We have feared this for about a week as the water temperature was going between scalding hot and barely warm in a very unpredictable fashion. As I get ready for work in the bathroom Jim comes in and tells me how good his day is. What? I have been my normal grumpy morning person that I am so why he should be expressing such joy is beyond me. I walk out of the bathroom and he has that stupid smug smile on his face and is practically jumping up and down. THEN I SEE IT! The dreaded SPOON! It has been hiding in our closet for over a year now. I hung it up on the inside wall and I rarely think about it and that is why the evil hot water heater was able to easily betray my hiding spot. Jim promised to place it out of reach but in clear view. UGGGGG!!! I will now have to find another hiding spot, be...
