When all else fails to keep my sanity, I know it is then time to book an appointment with my therapist. Sure, she was my IF therapist, but she is a well rounded topic therapist too. She deals with all kinds of issues, not just infertility. Some days I think I have it all together, but lately I don't. I need to release my frustrations with the adoption wait, my lack of interest in losing weight, and my lack of cleaning the weighted full of junk household. OMG. My house is a mess. I admit it to anyone. I need to get my therapist to go over a structured schedule with me. Discuss the fact that I KNOW we will make it through the wait for a baby through adoption no matter how long it takes.
My head hurts when I walk into this house. I think I have an answer to my problems, but I just need to talk it out with someone and DH is NOT the person to help me as we usually turn our talks into fighting matches. Who can one up the other with arguments etc.... Know what I mean?
Oh shit.. I am not making sense am I?
I need a vacation and wouldn't it be nice to have one with a call that a baby is on the way? Camping soon so maybe we will get a match call soon. RING PHONE RING
Speaking of vacaction and babies......... I have 7 weeks of FMLA time remaining between now and May 22nd 2007. I used 5 weeks back in May of this year for my hysterectomy. If we are blessed to have a baby placed with us between now and May 22, 2007 then I only get 7 weeks remaining of the 12 weeks for FMLA. Now mind you this 7 weeks will be UNPAID as ADOPTION is not a medical reason to be paid for FMLA. So I am planning hard to save up the funds for at least 5 of those 7 weeks off without pay. I have 10 days of paid vacation right now and can carry them over until March 1 2007 if needed to use while on FMLA time off. BUT I get another 20 days of vacation time starting January 1st 2007. YEAH.. that means I can try and use up some of that vaction if we are placed with a baby between now and May 22nd. Less time without pay in those 7 weeks. Ok, is your head spinning from that mumbojumbo? LOL
I am off to go put together this shelf I painted and am decoupaging to match the nursery. FUN.

Sounds like a little depression....i know exactly how you are feeling - i had 13 years of wait and i felt okay and got through life but had no motivation to clean, or do anything menial. You will get the "call" ang clean like a fiend!!!!
We just had a wonderful weekend getaway. We drove to Hannibal MO, an absolutely beautiful river town. There is much Mark Twain there which we have enjoyed on previous visits. There is an array of wonderful bed and breakfasts...we stay at Lulabelles, a riverside brothel in it's not so distant past and it is also a wonderful gourmet restaurent. There is a riverboat cruise thru Oct. There are antique and craft stores a few bars and a really nice coffee house. It is far enough away and close enough at the same time...and very romantic. A shot of romance does wonders for the soul.
