I forgot to mention that I get to spend 3+ hours alone in the car and another 8 hours in IRA training with my boss tomorrow. Yay. God, please give me strength!
My plan to not talk about the adoption with her has worked so far. Yesterday was a flook as I was not the one to bring it up. It's sad I can't talk about it with or around her but it's better for my feelings to avoid the topic all together. I'll continue as I have been waiting until she is out of the office or tied up in some other way to talk with my other coworkers who are extremely excited and supportive.
Have a great Tuesday. Toodles everyone:)
Long overdue final update (such a good one)!

I think you're a smart girl! Whenever I had this kind of negativity I did either one of two things. First, I might have a heart to heart with the person to say "all I want from you is encouragement." The other is that I would simply not discuss it at all and then announce our final decision when it happened in a way that did not invite discussion. So far so good! I still remember all the naysayers and, if I weren't such a nice Catholic girl, would love to point out how terrifically wrong they were!
Did you survive the car ride?? After reading about your boss (and comparing notes) I think you are a much braver woman than I, I would probably literally stroke out with that much time in a vehicle with her.
And also praying for you! :)
Hi! I saw that someone came to my blog from yours and wanted to thank you for the blogroll add! I'm adding you now. You and your husband are in my prayers! Can't wait to read up on your blog!
