cupcake

Just a brief update (although a cupcake would be sweeter): I have not received notice yet of my certification, so the adoption specialist could not represent me at the big meeting. It was okay, though, because the brothers that were a possibility for me are getting adopted by their foster mom. I still have not heard word-one back from "the boys'" agency--whether they received my home study, have any interest in talking with me or my adoption specialist... nothin'. So I'm just waiting at this point.

Did get my landlord to open up the 3rd bedroom of this house, but it's still piled high with the crap he's been storing in there. Soon as we can clean it out, put the door up, paint, install new flooring, etc., it will be ready for kiddos, and I won't have to move my office. OR, if the kiddos are different genders, they can each have their own room (and the office will be absorbed elsewhere). Planning to work on the room this weekend.

Still running and my hands are healing. Starting a second month of N*S. Still going okay, so will stick with it a bit longer. I'd like to be down to 190 or below by the marathon (remember, I'm 6'2" tall)--that's 3 full months to lose 20 pounds. I think I can do it or at least get close. s'long as I stay away from the cupcakes... (haven't had one, just sounds so damn good tonight!)

I know adoption is just wait, wait and more wait. It will ALL be worth it soon!!!!

ok so now you have me craving cupcakes. I hope the adoption stuff starts to fall together more soon. Good luck with the marathon training.

I confess I ate a cupcake at work today!
Ah, that waiting thing sounds so frustrating. It just makes no sense to me with all the kids that need homes, they sure don't make the adoption process an easy one! Hang in there girl and you will soon have your kiddos! Bravo to you on sticking with NS and running!

Caaaaake...okay I'm back. Glad your boys are getting adopted, but I wish it was you. Hope you get your certification soon.

I'm sorry about the wait. I hope everything comes together soon. I think I need cake too.
