Life comes with ups and downs, and I guess lately I'm just stuck in the down part. I'm stressed, I'm overwhelmed, I can't think straight, I can't function well with this aggravating broken foot.
I'm trying to stay positive. Our homestudy is finally in the state's hands, which means now that is no longer something for us to think about. There are a bunch of little things that need to be done to compile dossier stuff, and because of my broken foot that just seems to be getting pushed aside (basically, I'm totally dependent on the mister to take care of it all, and he's too busy playing the roles of Mommy and Daddy, so he doesn't have the time in his schedule to take care of it.) We're exhausted. I guess that's what it boils down to.
I see this upcoming $2000 figure looming before us, and once again, I'm throwing up my hands, wondering how it might appear at the right time. We were supposed to have a garage sale to help raise funds, but, because of the broken foot, it's just not realistic right now. So... plan B is in the works, and hopefully it'll be a great one. :)
My balloon release was supposed to be happening two Sundays from now, but seeing as the response was less than stellar, I've lost motivation. It's still on, and it may not be much of anything, but if you interested in participating, please comment below so I can figure out the easiest way to move forward. You can do it from anywhere, and it can be as simple as just you or as elaborate as an entire neighborhood coming together. Personally, we'll be going to the local park and releasing balloons there. It'll be interesting on crutches, but hopefully I'll remain standing!
So that's me. Not much to say other than throwing myself a pity party. I vow that my next post will not be such a whiny one. Sometimes, you just gotta get it out. This is a road we are traveling, and I think it's only fair to everyone reading to get the good as well as the not so good.

You don't need to feel bad or apologize for being "whiny". My last post was quite the pity party as well. I just feel confused and overwhelmed. I just can't understand why more people don't care. I completely get it that adoption is a huge deal and not everyone can or will want to do it. But, can't those types of people at least help the families who are willing to do it? We want to so very badly. But, since it's impossible right now (which it wouldn't be impossible if more people were willing to help) I just keep donating to my Carmen's grant and some other families. You are doing something wonderful...just don't forget to tell yourself that along with your pity party!
