Today there will be no rhyme or reason for this post - just random ramblings and happenings.
- On the adoption front we received the official draft of our homestudy. VERY exciting! I go to INS tomorrow morning at 9:20 am to turn it in for our I-600A. I am really and truly praying that INS gets our finished fast!
- We leave Friday morning for Spokavegas. Not terribly excited at all. I know J and the boys are. But, I truly believe there will be a whole lotta nothin' going on there for me. Neither Steve & Amy or Mark & Heidi will be there. Chris & Stanley are dogging out as well. So, while J is golfing (most likely every other day) I will be stuck at Bob & Linda's with the boys with no where to go - because of no vehicle &/or I have NO idea how to get anywhere in that town.
- My house was completely clean for 2 of the 3 days of the weekend. As soon as Monday hit my hard work was trampled by 8 feet and 8 hands. I have yet to get it that clean again - in fact while I am sitting here typing at my computer at home - last nights dishes are piled in the sink, yesterday's laundy is piled up on the kitchen counter, and Phoeobe's litter box is screaming to be cleaned out.
- The latest batch of referrals are in from China. I have read hundreds of posts on APC and on the Rumor Queen's site. It makes me SO happy and quite a bit jealous - the jealousy has caused me to feel guilty. So, in the mix of these emotions - I have to remind myself to be patient & it will be our turn in the next 12-14 months (please go down! please go down! The wait I mean!).
- I heard a funny "line" today at work from my bro. - that I intend to start using: "sad, saaaaaad panda." (hence the picture with this blog) Although I intend not to be sad a lot - my children get sad at least a dozen times a day when I ask them to clean/brush teeth/share/go to bed/etc. - they are the perfect targets for this line.

Hi! Great blog! I'm so happy to hear to you are close to being done. When you go to INS, no food or drink or cell phones. I walked in (parking was 1/2 mile away) with a cup of starbucks and a phone. Guard made me take the starbucks back to my car. Came back and he said I couldn't have the phone either . . . made the trip to the car twice!!! UGH!!
I just wrote up my thoughts on the things I have learned that weren't just easy to find in the reading materials and such. If you are interested, here is the link:
