We have a big court date for the baby tomorrow. I am really nervous and trying to stay busy. I am working on spring organizing and planning Easter brunch (such a good Jew).
Is there a possibility that they will TPR the baby??
I feel like we are just chugging along at full speed. L is out 4/5 nights this week and 3/4 nights we will be home next week (we leave Fri for the in-laws.) I guess this is the price you pay when you are not in the office for a week....We were going to tell the kids about the new school tonight, but then L got called into a late meeting and won't be home until right after bedtime. Then we were going to do it Sat, but L has a long training walk and the kids are already signed up for parents night out, so we didn't want to tell them and then immediately drop them off at PNO. So, now it is going to be during spring break...I have mixed feelings - I hope it won't taint spring break, but it might also be a good diversion since they are really excited to go to the ILs/see the cousins/etc. It will also give them time to process since we'll be together 24/7 during vacation. Perhaps I am just over thinking the whole thing....Honestly once this is out in the open (to the kids, their school, our friends) I won't know what to do with myself.
Other than that, everything is going well. I need to find some new clothes to take on vacation. I need to figure out what the kids need (what fits from last year?) I need some new shoes. I need to start shopping!

I'm here, just exhausted and busy as all get out. I feel like I've either been sick or had something going on just about every second for the last month between our stuff and my birthday and the boy's soccer and ice skating. But things are going better at home and he's enjoying his stuff (well mostly, he's still a little scared of the skating but he wants to do it and keeps trying). This weekend was really great, but man I feel like I could use about 10 more hours of sleep right now!

I'm here...missing the activity on this board.
I am recovering from our GS camping weekend. It was a lot of fun and good memories, but not much sleep for me! I ended up being the only parent in my cabin when another bailed and both her daughter and another girl had their share of wakeups, trips to the bathroom, a sleep walking incident (thankfully I heard her before anything happened), a head-bonking and crying incident. Both nights felt like all I got in were naps. Somehow E slept through all of this which was the success of the weekend!
Otherwise, things are status quo for us, keeping busy with E's activities and school. My allergies are kicking my ass right now and I can't wait for tree-blooming to be DONE.
2brides-I wish! The trial determines if she gets more time or we set a date to TPR. I don't have to tell you what I'm hoping for.
I would love to know we are heading towards adoption instead of 6 more months of uncertainty. I'm trying to be very calm and trust the system and universe.
In (possibly) related news,there is an entire cheesecake sitting in my fridge and two kinds of ice cream in the freezer :-)

We're just chugging along. Getting ready for a FET on April 15th and doing a lot of organizing around the house. It feels like the work to be done never ends, and we don't even have kids!
