Uggh! I didn't hear anything yesterday. Nada, nothing, not a peep. Our agency told the children's social worker that we would take them (Thurs). When our agency gets a call back from the social worker then we will be called to say if they are coming or not. This is torture! Now the wheels are turning in my head, what if the girls' social worker put out calls to more than our agency? At first I just assumed we were the only ones, but I bet they put feelers out there for several homes. I'm okay with not being picked (but I will be dissappointed) my issue comes with the WAITING! The not knowing, the uncertainty, the one week I have to get ready but I don't know if they are coming so I can't really do anything but wait waiting. That is my anxiety! So today, I am taking my boys to a movie and going to the mall. How am I going to restrain myself from buying some girl stuff? This actually would be perfect to get them stuff, but I don't know for sure if they are coming. UGGH!! What I do know is that: They need a home on Feb 1st. We said yes. It will be over one way or another in a week. A week isn't that long. I have nothing for girls. I am a girl, so I am so excited to shop for these little girls. I can get through this weekend without stressing. I can wait until I hear something before freaking out. I am not in control at all. I can focus on the important issue, that these girls have the best home for them.
I really think my anxiety is all about shopping, lol! Deep breath, more deep breaths....sigh. If they do spring this on us at the last minute, it will be fine. Target is only 2 miles away. I am taking my boys to a movie, and waiting for my girls! I need to stop!!!

Thank you, I needed that--really!!
I can completely relate! You are so funny! When we got our first call, I was all up in nerves and was about ready to burst just to hear more. We didn't end up with those kids but I loved them anyway :)
We could be sisters..honestly..yes, it is about the shopping. I'm getting a placement in 3 days. I have a LOT of girl stuff already..but I'm itching to go shopping too. I'm just waiting to hear what size she is in...LOL
Good luck to you...I'm thinking about you.
