I called the agency this morning to let them know we are ready to move forward, and my SW will be calling back in a few hours to start setting up the schedule for the presentation and visitation. Right now we are hoping that we can start all this next week... at least meeting the foster mom. We know she is a teacher and out during the summer, so it shouldn't be difficult to set that up!

Steph, omg! Before you know it your home will be full of boys! Sounds like its right around the corner now. I hope your social worker called back.
dede, sounds like things have to get better. I am sending all the good vibes I've got your way. Cables modems are awesome. So the whole company is going bankrupt? Or just the partners share? How does that work? Does he have to take them to court to get his money or will they just "fork it over?"
Anyway, as far as my weight loss goes, I'm stuck at 199. :-( I think its been about three weeks or more since I've lost anything. I've been eating crappy but the last couple of days I've been doing good.
I gots to get ready to go boating, see ya'll later!
missy, i know what ya mean about eating poorly. lol. i have been majorly stress eating the last week. well since saturday i guess.
The people he is supposely a partner with own another company that is going bankrupt not the one he owns. long story.
hugs

Stephanie, that is sad news about the parents..... but hopefully you'll be able to move full steam ahead!
MissC, how did dinner go?
Andrea, keep us posted on how you're doing.....your baby is going to have a ton of 'aunties' y'know.
dede, how is the move going? You're in my thoughts and prayers.
This has been a busy, and tiring, week for me. I joined the FAAS forum as well, and am participating in a work out challenge as well as a water challenge.....so as I work out I can feel all that water sloshing away inside, and my bladder is reacting something fierce! I get twice as much exercise as I planned trotting back and forth to the bathroom. Finances are going to be a little tight this week so DO had to cancel a therapy session, things are a bit tense just now, I just keep reminding myself that 'this too shall pass'.
My mother and step-father are having a family reunion at their house on Saturday, so I've been busy helping them prepare for that and will be there all day tomorrow. Neither of them are in good health so they need a lot of help....DO and I won't be going to the reunion, however, as there is a bit of bad blood there, but I don't want Yaria to miss the time with her cousins and the fireworks display, so she'll be going.

gale, sounds like you have been busy. I have been bad about my water intake, however, i do always end up running back and forth to the bathrom when i start mydrinking of water. It will pass.
Steph, did you here from the social worker?
ok, my stomach is in knots this morning. i am so nervous with the move just one day away. so after today iw ill not have internet service for a week. grrr. Good news though a job hunter did call me yesterday to find out when i would be in augusta. This lady found one of my old co-workers in augusta a really good job. So hopefully she can do the same. I actually did not know that she was the one when i faxed my resume to her. She called me when she received the resume and we had a nice conversation about the other guy. She did tell me as soon as she saw where i used to work there she called him and asked about me. So whoohoo. on that. Nerves are extremely high. They are so bad i am shaking.
hugs

Today my body image is bad. I feel like a freak. I hate spending a long #ss time plucking to find out I missed one that was so obvious and long grr. I want to let it grow out enough to wax. But I don't have 6-8 weeks to hide out in the house.
I just got released from out patient treatment for depression and anxiety and today is my first day out of the hospital. I am kind of wondering what to do with myself.Doc told me not to go back to work but, she won't pay my bills So now what do I do? Just feeling kind of dropped b/c I was discharged b/c insurance would'nt pay anymore not b/c I had worked it all out.
Actually what started out being a good day quickly turned south, yesterday. I got a call back around lunch time to set up a tentative meeting date of July 7th... to meet the foster mom, set up visitation on the 8th (in their home for an hour or so), 9th take them out to the park or something, 10th would be our overnight visit, and then the 12th we would pick them up in the morning for good. We were excited to say the least... but this was all tentative and we had to wait to hear back for the final arrangements. Our SW heard back from a different SW then who she spoke to previously and was told that the foster mom had a month long vacation planned and was NOT INTERESTED in starting the process until POSSIBLY July 26th. WTF! Right now I am trying to get in touch with the director of our agency to see if the foster mom can pull this. She (FM) also wants visitation of the children, and when we do the transition she would like it to take several weeks. Basically she is trying to drag this out till after Austin (the baby's) second birthday at the end of August. This is all a month longer than we were assured by the SW of the children last week! I am so angry, hurt... and really just don't know what to do with myself. I cried all night, and had a very hard time coming into work today... not to mention all the cheesy bread I ate when I got here (damn it, I wish I never saw that stuff sitting in our fridge up here... and the note that said "anyone can have some"). Well, that's my news Sorry to rain on the parade.

Amanda, I know what you mean about the plucking and missing one. It sucks so bad when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the car mirror before going into work only to see that one stupid hair sticking out that SOMEONE WILL NOTICE! I don't know what to tell you about not knowing what to do with yourself. But you have started off in the right place. This website, and this thread is filled with wonderful women who really care about each and are here to help/listen/and pretty much anything you need for support!

oh steph, that is terrible. I am so sorry. I wonder if the foster mom can pull that too. And about visitation. Whats that about. IF she wants vistitation why did she try to adopt the boys. Sorry if that sounded hurtfull it wasnt meant to be. It was my understanding that the role of the foster family was 1st initially the goal is to return the children to there bio parents and when the bio parents fail to meet the requirements and the children are available for adoption the goal was to have them placed in a suitable family. I understand that they probably love the boys but i think it may get more confusing for them the longer it drags on.
lots of hugs

Denise, that is exactly where we stand on this... this is going to be very confusing for the boys as it is. WE DO NOT WANT HER TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM AFTER WE GET THEM! And she was given first shot at adopting them, SHE SAID NO!
Oh, btw, I didn't mean to be incensitive to everyone else... HI....
And Denise I can totally understand why you are nervous about this move. But in the end it does sound like the best thing for you! I hope it all goes smoothly.
Has anybody heard anything from Heather?
