So the melt down has begun...

I like to call this "mommy meltdown" or perhaps "The Dark Side of Adoption." Normally I would assume it's just me, since I tend to be more emotional/dramatic than most, but I've talked to several of my "adopting" friends and they all agree. As the wait drags on and you still don't know when you're flying...we all go certifiably nuts.

Things that have helped me in the last few days:

* cleaning (when I'm stressed, I love to clean! My counters are positively sparkling!)
*mojitos (thank goodness some wonderful Cuban invented this sublime mint/rum concoction in the 1920s...it's heaven in a frosted glass)
*praying for Laney (the kids and I have gathered 'round more frequently lately and prayed for our future daughter/sister.)
*and PRESENTS! LOL! (Have I mentioned that gifts are my love language?)

Just today my fabulous friend Jessica sent me a wonderful gift. It arrived on the perfect day. She sent me a beautiful red leather passport cover (red for China!). On the inside, the leather is a pumpkin orange (orange is my favorite color!). Thank you Jess! (((hugs))) I love it. It made my day!
