Getting Anxious....

Ok, so my kids are home safe and sound....we have loved on them, snuggled with them and now the reprogramming has begun :-)

They havent figured out yet that real life is MUCH different then "week with Grandmom and Grandad life". For example:

1. If you say you are hungry and there isnt *anything* to eat it does not mean that I will immediately run out to the store and buy you what you want

2. If you say you want a snack, I am going to tell you to eat a piece of fruit...not give you a candy bar

3. You do not get to stay up as late as you want

4. You really do have to do chores in real life

These are just a few of the reprogramming episodes today....stay tuned for more :-)

Actually all kidding aside, they had an incredible week! My dad is going to send me pictures that I will share later this week...They went out on the new Sears Tower Ledge...a 1 1/2 inch of glass suspended out at the 103rd floor of the sears tower! He got a great pix of it too!! So with wild coasters, wet water rides, cirque de solei of Shanghai, and Navy Pier they were BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!


As for the getting anxious....There are Rumors on Rumor Queen that TA's have been signed. There is still question if they have been mailed but if they had been, then we could be seeing TA's as early as Monday! We will see....I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up. I know our paperwork was held up and we didnt even get our Article 5 to the CCAA until Tues of last week. Was that enough time to get it into the pile to be signed??? We will see. I am getting really anxious, we are so very close to bringing home our son and once we get that TA it will be a flurry of packing, preparing and arranging!

I am mostly packed for us, but I have to still pack for 2 weeks for 3 kids who will be visiting with various friends and family, not to mention arranging care for the multitude of our furry friends. All the school supplies still need to be purchased, along with the football gear. Sports and school schedules need to be compiled....Whew, I am tired just thinking about it! Tomorrow I am planning on going to the bank and ordering our new money, and taking care of the necessary school supplies. It is going to be pretty busy around here for a while...but will make the time go fast right?

If our TA doesnt come in the big batch this week, then it likely means that we wont get our TA until mid August. I know that Gods timing is perfect, I know that this is His plan for us and He will see us through....

(you just might find me buried in the chocolate ice cream container though :-)
