Update

So another quickie update blog. Through some confusion about me thinking that I forgot to get back to my social worker I emailed him today. Everything is in order he says. I finished the report today he says. So now It goes to his boss for aproval and to the state in some way or another to. He thinks if everything goes well we could potentially have that license in our hot little hands sometime next week. Can ya give me a "Woot woot!" The thing with that means we could potentially be placed/matched with a kiddo shortly after that. We will be considered to have available beds (a crappy way to put it as having space for children). Although we will probably be "matched " with a child who is on the adoption track, there is a chance we could also be placed with a recently detained child. (another phrase I don't like) Detained sounds so horrible, like they did something wrong, which they didn't.  Detained children are children that have been pulled out of the home for one reason or another.  So this trip we are taking this weekend could really be our last alone trip with no kiddos. Other than Aruba this january. If we could take em we would, but there is no way the paperwork would get done it time, and also it is plan not allowed.  

So I am getting nervous, and back to my "Am I ready" thinking.  I still have a lot I want to do. I want to make an art bin, need to get a mattress liner, get a new blanket for the bed maybe.  I also want to have things for this kid, like clothes and such. So I guess I will have to wait, at least until we get matched for age/gender/size stuff.  Since I know the range of ages we said we are ok to and the likeliness of getting an older child in our range I have started compiling free printables for working on basic preschool and kindergarten things, like writting letters, colors, numbers and the such. 

Ok I am done with the update. Hopeing the week goes fast, the weekend goes slow, and next week goes fast! lol!!
