Mondays are just that Mondays. Not really my favorite day of the week. I wish we had an extra day in the weekend but I just have to keep on trucking.
In adoption news, we hit 6 months tomorrow and are starting to think we may hit month 9 of waiting. There are a few families that have hit the 9+ month mark and more that have hit 8+ month mark so we are expecting that we may too. Kind of a bummer but October will be here before we know it and that will be month 9 for us. We should still get a referral before the end of the year which was what I was hoping for. I have really tried to not get myself too excited for a September referral. I mean, it could happen, but with so many families still waiting ahead of us it is unlikely I think. I could be wrong but I don't want to get my hopes up. I have been down that path before and it leads to disaster.
We haven't seen any referrals in 6 weeks so we will see what happens when things get going again. Everything in International Adoption is so unpredictable. So as I write this saying we may hit the 9 month mark that could all change next week or in a couple of weeks and hopefully it will :)
I think we are all ready to see the Referral word on the message boards. We need to see the referral word on the message boards. Well, it is what it is and we will find a way to cope. We always do.
I am looking for decorations for the nursery to help occupy my time so that is fun. One of my blogging/forum friends posted a link for do it yourself wall murals and I LOVE to paint so I may get one of those to keep me occupied. (Thanks Abby!) Some of them are 6 to 8 feet tall/wide so it would cover most of one wall. I really want animals in nursery and we have an awesome watercolor of Noah's Ark that we got in CA at and Art and Wine Festival that will be framed and hung in there as well. It is all gender neutral so we think it would work and would be really cute.
