August Referrals

August referrals aren't officially in, but I've gotten some pretty legitimate info. that says this month the CCAA sent out referrals from May 11-15, 2006.  It's only 5 days so I'm a little bummed, but there are many families getting to see the picture of their child for the first time this week so I'm excited for them.  I've also "heard" that next month will probably just be 2 or 3 days because there are TONS of people logged in on those days.  I knew when they did 14 days last month and I got myself psyched up that it was going to be 14 days or more every month that I was going to be disappointed!  I know our turn will come when it's supposed to...I just get impatient sometimes.

Back to work!

Well, I haven't worked outside the home in over 6 years and now I'm back to work.  Well, at least "sort of".  I'll be teaching at Parent's Day Out two days a week, taking my two babies along with me.  O.k., I only have one baby small enough for Parent's Day Out but I also babysit another child (13 mo. old) full-time.  I'll be taking both of my babies with me in my class along with 6 other toddlers.  I am soooo excited.  I guess it's the teacher in me...being totally pumped about lesson plans, group time, music and art lessons.  M. has also gotten back into the routine of school.  She is at a new school this year because of our move and LOVES it so far.  Her teacher is fabulous and has been teaching school for 25 years.  I'm excited about this school year and knowing each day brings us closer to our adoption being completed and our daughter being HOME!
