Weekend!

This is my first 2 day weekend at home in over a month! That illustrates how often I am working extra! I spent today catching up on laundry and got a quote on a deep cleaning for the house. That seems a bit counter productive...work extra to pay someone to clean the house!

Last weekend was great, we had dinner with a local family who adopted from South Korea. It was our first time trying Korean food and we really enjoyed it. There are little side dishes that come with every meal...marinated vegetables Kim chi etc., they are called Banchan. Jim and I tend to like all Asian food...It is reassuring to know that another couple has gone through the wait and had a positive outcome. I think Jim meeting an adoptive child made it real, I saw his face light up when he met the child :)

We have a busy day tomorrow, a birthday party, a wedding reception and then meeting friends at the Blue Martini....I am constantly kept busy but the wait is still getting to me. There are days I do not give it much thought but others that I think time is standing still. I realize that it is important for us to continue to live our lives. I feel that I am doing this but I have never been the best with situations that are out of my control.
