OMG, PTL

August 11, 2010 by TUC 19 Comments

We have a travel date.

I have been checking everyday, three or four times a day until it gets too late over there to be writing emails… and nothing. It is like that last two weeks of pregnancy when you just can’t wait. Your skin itches, you can’t sleep, you are constantly thinking about the baby (or in this case babies).

I am not good at indefinite waiting… it makes me a slacker. I need a deadline to function in high gear… so that big long list of things we have been meaning to do for the past month is still just a list, not even a list on paper, just a list in my brain.

But this morning everything changed. High gear here we come!

August 19th we have a date with the SDA. That is not a typo. Next Thursday, next week we will be in Kiev starting the formal process of becoming Mallory and Peach’s parents.

Woo hoo… happy dance, happy dance.

About the author

I am a work-at-home mom to five kids. When I am not wiping butts, scrubbing dishes, doing laundry, cooking, overseeing homework, or (fill in a zillion blanks), I write here to decompress.

I love to write. Most of what I write for this blog is true... but sometimes I lie, in order to tell the real truth... know what I mean?
