My morning started out a little rough. I hit the snooze button twice, meaning getting up at 7am instead of 6:30. I was still feeling drained from yesterday. The kids woke up early so no rushing around, it was actually more laid back {with them} After they got on the bus I started out cleaning. I started in the master bedroom, starting some laundry and then cleaning our bathroom. Once I got that done I finally started feeling energized. By 11:30 I had 13 items done and felt like it was kicking butt. About an hour later I felt beyond drained. I let myself sit for a little bit and then got back to work. Since Doug works from home I was able to lay Addie down while I took the car to get it swept out. By the time I was finished and had everything done except taking out the trash I remembered that my mother in law is coming tonight. I remembered when I opened the door to the office/spare room. OH CRAP! It was a disaster. OH no. I felt so drained, but was able to also complete that along with starting another load of laundry and a few other small chores.

To say I kicked butt is an understatement ;)

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
