Moving right along

So, our home evaluation is scheduled for Tuesday, May 18 at 1:30pm. My E is gone the whole week before and then works the weekend before so the house should be relatively clean on that day. Of course, it'll be as clean as is possible with two yellow fur-shedders living here as well.

We are still working on a date of our parenting classes. We agreed to May 21st and 22nd but by the time I got the okay from my employer that class was full. That was the perfect date for us because a: I could take a Friday off and b: E is off that weekend. We are on the cancellation list but our SW doubts anyone will back out. The next classes are two Saturdays in a row, June 5th and 12th. My hubby never has two Saturdays in a row off unless he has vacation arranged. We are hoping he can get the second Saturday off but there are already people off in the jail. Sigh. The logistics.

I am not worrying, though, because we have lots to do before we can bring a child home. After the home eval and parenting class we'll just need our final approval. Once that comes through we could be matched immediately with a child. OH. MY. GOSH.

It seems unreal. This may be the last Mother's Day that I am not a mother. This may be the last Father's Day where E is not a father. We could potentially have a child to take camping with us yet this year. I may be able to enroll a little one in preschool. Make a Halloween costume. Carve a pumpkin. Take a family photo for a Christmas card. I am in awe of the possibilities yet I do not feel overwhelmed. I have waited for so long.
