Just an Update....

For the most part, we are very content waiting right now, but today is different. Today I feel a little restless and it would be really nice to hear something. To be approached with an option or something. Even a little bitty part of me has had days lately that I didn’t want to hear anything. We are content and happy and I just wanted to enjoy it. I have learned through this process that those feelings are going to come up and they are normal. I just have to know not to jump and react. Those feelings will pass. It makes the waiting easier. Things have seemed a little slow on the adoption websites. I know there are kids waiting that we don’t know about, but its all the red tape that gets things held up. Its sad when there are so many families just waiting and time is just ticking by for these kids. Regardless, I know it will work out.
Brendan and Allison love school right now. I couldn’t be happier! Brendan has never liked school, but says he can’t wait to go back every afternoon when he gets home. It’s obvious that a structured, disciplined school makes a huge difference. He doesn’t have to deal with disruptions in class from bad behavior, the teachers aren’t grumpy and irritable from having to deal with it, and it’s just a happier place to be. He is glad he changed schools this year. I am so thankful I gave it a try and didn’t let my fears keep me stuck in the place we were. Allison has been happier at the middle school so far, but we do plan on switching her if we get the opportunity. Nick is ok with school, but he is in 10th grade and really has to work hard now, so it’s not all that “fun” for him. He has done well too though. Mark is back on days and still adjusting, but it has been better so far.
Sorry things are a little boring right now, not much going on. I try to keep this blog adoption related *smile* otherwise I could go on and on talking about STUFF. So, I will update again soon with any info. Hopefully I will have some news next time!
