I'm glad it's Friday... I am... really...

It’s been a rough couple of days for me. The dishwasher died, the AC is having a tough time keeping up with the horrible heat outside, I’m not sure why (other than that heat I mentioned & one that just makes trouble) but the daycare kids are all really moody this week, I have had a headache for the last two days that I can’t shake, still no word from USCIS, and our venue for our big sale has basically fallen through. Add the fact that today would have been my Dad’s 79th Birthday, and I am just not having a good week.
Today is also my nephew’s Birthday; his party is tomorrow, so we’ll go to that. I just hope it’s not this hot tomorrow, it will be miserable if it is.
I’m sure every one of my adopting friends is sick of listening to me whine about the USCIS. They are the recipients though so that I don’t completely alienate all of my other friends. LOL At least my adopting friends understand the frustrations. I called again today… “Still pending” is the answer I got. They transferred me to the officer who has our case and I left a voice mail. He apparently only returns calls between 1:30 -2:30, and if he doesn’t call back, that means there’s no change in our petition. I’m not expecting a call.
I’m happy for everyone who’s getting good news… grants… loans… USCIS approval confirmation… dossier submissions… travel dates… new photos/information about their kiddos… I really am truly happy. I’m just having a tough time being “up” about it right now.
Please pray that we hear something soon. Even if it’s just to find out that we need to send more information… just something. I’m tired of waiting…
