Brendan and I got home from work at the same time. I went through the caller ID to see who had called today. "Government of Sask" I read aloud. "No, Mary...it's not" the rational voice of my husband piped in (for those of you who don't know, this is the awaited ID on every PAP's phone in Sk.) "I know, but why is he calling?" I replied trying to keep my heart rate down. "It's not Mary". "I know" I said as I began listening to the messages. Unfortunately, despite my words, I still had a little hope. Of course it was another pointless phone call from our social worker. I emailed him tonight and was very tempted to say, "If you have any heart at all, you will not dial my number again until there is news of a referral!" My hopes weren't too crushed since I surprisingly do still have half a foot down here on earth. I also see that stupid ID on a very regular basis at work and do not associate it with very nice feelings there. :(
That's my excitement for the month. I was away for a week at a conference and missed my boys (and bed and shower) tremendously, my kids (work kids) all seem to be in crisis so I am losing it there, I have not even thought about Christmas shopping or baking yet, and I am relieved to get a break from school for the rest of the month.
Ready for some good news from great friends about their very stressful adoptions. That will make my month!!!

O.K. Seriously, that Guy!! He needs to be told about the importance of only calling when it is "The Call".
We have the same guy and do you know he has now called 3 times, emailed us once and sent a letter to introduce himself to us....
Ummm..ya..you already did that!!!!
Too funny. "That guy" just called us the other day. Wanted to see how we were doing while waiting for OUR REFERRAL....Obviously I called "that guy" back thinking that some paperwork is not in...meanwhile...having mini strokes. "oh, hmmm, I just thought you were waiting. I see here now, you aren't. But just wanting to introduce myself...im........"
Serioulsy Buddy. Get with the program.
Good grief... they should know better than that!!
AHHH, you just gave me a heart attack, and then I'm thinking, no, she would have e-mailed right!!!??
I freaking can't wait till you get that call!
Too funny... I got the call from "that girl" at work a couple of weeks ago. I am generally a calm person so keep telling myself that I'll probably be fairly calm when "the call" comes in.
Well, I had got the letter and it said I would get a call and I still almost had a heart attach when I saw the Caller ID. I honestly had to catch my breath.
I laughed at myself later. Now I'm a little worried how I'll react. Sure don't want to have a heart attack. Ha!
By the way, "that girl" seemed very nice.

That's just not fair! Come on adoption workers, be fair and use e-mail or something. Don't you know how hard it is to remain calm when you might be about to see your child for the first time?
