See I told you... So for the past two days I have been positively roasting down here in La. I mean could it GET any hotter. Man At least I'm happy that it isn't raining. Ugh. Don't know what's worse! So...
Steph,
LOL about you comin over here. I swear I will behave now. I don't know what it is with SC but I can't view past pages. =0( I think the boys room is too cute! Ya'll did a great job. Hey you know at Lowe's they have lightswitch covers in stars and moons? I am so excited for you to see pics of the boys. When will you actually get them?
Okay we got pics yesterday, actually the foster mom is an avid scrapbooker and she made a book for each of the boys. She gave us Austin's book and we will get the other ones next week (by Friday of next week they will be ours). We were supposed to start visitation today but the morons at CPS won't let us. Trust me when I say that these people should not be allowed to be in business, I have never seen such sloppy work! I do have some pics ready for viewing... only two! One of Anthony the oldest and one of Andrew the middle boy. For some reason my DH did it wrong and did put Austin on the CD. So I will get that later this afternoon. Here is what we have... oh the scan didn't really do them justice, they are actually much lighter skin than what is showing up (they actually look hispanic or even lighter).
Anthony
Andrew

OK, so I have been MIA forEVER, but Stephanie -- your boys are SOOOO sweet! However, I'm shocked to hear that the geeky social workers haven't turned them over to you yet! ERGH! If I'M ready for them to be there, I can't imagine how YOU'RE feeling!
Denise -- Any good news on the job front? I'm so proud of you guys for moving and trying something new! GOOD FOR YOU GUYS!!!!
Heather -- Congrats on finishing it all up! How exciting! I was sorry to hear about the 5 year old, but how neat that there is somone else out there for you! I wonder what s/he will be like!?!??!
MissC -- How was the vacation? And the cousin? I hope you're ALL doing well.
Sorry I've been so scatterbrained. You all still fascinate me and I'm looking forward to being back here (if that's still OK)!
Have a great day everybody!!!

I'm sorry you've had no hits on a job. =0( Don't worry I'm sure you will soon. I'm glad he got a job. Hopefully he'll find a better one soon. Anything has to be better than those last ppl he was working with. It rained here last night too and boy did we need it.
Steph,
So awesome that you finally got to meet the foster mom and see pics of the boys. They are so darned adorable. Oh don't get me started on CPS I could go on all day. I swear some ppl are just incompetant. Who is the girl in the picture with the boys? Do you have them yet? It's all so exciting! BIG HUGS.
Andrea,
How is the sprout? Long time no talk! =0) Of course it's okay for you to be back here!
Gale,
Nice to meet you! I was on here a while ago and decided to come back. =0)
Sorry it has been so very long since I have been on here. Today I am indifferent to my self image I guess.I know all of the flaws are there and I just have'nt been obsessing today.Now lets see if thats changes after I do my hair removal grrrr.
Hope everyone is well !!
I got a chance to check mail and stuff for a little bit. My vacation is going great...mostly just lazing around. I've been here so much that I think I've seen everything there is to see here already.
Stephanie! OMG! I teared up when I saw your boys. You guys are so lucky to have them coming into your lives. The boys are just as lucky to be going to such great deserving people.
dede, Hang in there with the job hunting. Call those suckers back everyday and keep at 'em. You'll eventually wear them out and they will have to hire you! lol
Andrea, how have you been feeling girl? Everything going ok, showing yet?
Princess, what's new with you? Hi to everyone else too!
As for my cousin...they found out that the mass isn't on the brain stem which they originally thought, which is great. They will be doing surgery tomorrow morning to remove it and they haven't yet said if its malignant. Of course, we are all hoping its not. She is the same age as my brother would be so its been really hard for me because they grew up together.
Hey Amanda, great to see you again! How did the hair removal go?
Misscoyote, I'm so glad to hear that it wasn't on the brain stem. So it sounds like the prognosis after surgery is going to be good?!?
Denise, something will come up for you... are you planning on substitute teaching this fall?
Where's Lori?
Princess, they come home next week! I can't wait.
I won't be around for several days. I leave early tomorrow morning and will return late Sunday evening... but know that I'm thinking about all of you and can't wait to return to hear about what everyone did this week/end!

steph, have a good trip. Cant wait to hear all about it and really cant wait to hear about your meeting the boys.
andrea, how are things going? how are the babies doing?
I'm with steph where is lori?
Missy, i am glad to hear that the tumor is not on the brain stem. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is difficult time for you. Glad to hear your enjoying your time off.
Heather, How is your FIL. Is he still improving? Have you heard anything about any other child yet?
amandah, How are you doing today? Glad to have you back. How did waxing go.
as for me, i am blah. Hoping that one company calls me back today. If they dont then i will call them tommorrow. DF is putting the marriage pressure on me again. He thinks he is slick. We were talking about my ex and i told him that i really regret now not changing my name back to my madan when i got divorced and he said well not to long from now your name is changing. THen later he said again were getting married soon soo....... the thing is I was upfront with him when we got engaged and told him i was not ready to get married yet but i wanted to marry him when i was ready. I guess if we had not gone thru all that crap the better part of the past year then i would be more settled. i just cant forget that he lied to me and when i try talking bout things he gets so pissy. Anyways, sorry bout going on. Just the same sh*t different day.
hugs

Good morning!
Thank you for all being so sweet to me and taking me back! (GROVEL, GROVEL)...
It's fun to hear how all of YOU are doing!
Steph - where are you going on your trip? Is it work or pleasure? Are you going with anyone?
MissC - Glad to hear you're making the most of your vacation and seeing all there is to see! Any big plans for when you get home? And what awesome news about your cousin! We're all thinking about her and hoping she's doing well! Please keep us posted on her status and how you're doing when you get home!!!
Dede - What kind of job are you looking for? Anything in particular or just anything for now? Job hunting can be so frustrating!!! As for the DF, maybe he's just feeling like things are a little crazy right now with the move, the jobs and all of that and would just like the security of being married RIGHT NOW. You hang in there and don't do anything you don't want to do!!! We're still pulling for you!
Heather -- How are you doing this morning? Feeling OK with all of the adoption / FC issues? What happens now? Do they put you back on the list? Are you guys more interested in being FPs or adopting now?
Amanda -- I'm sure you've already shared, but what kind of hair removal are you having done? Hooray for the OK-with-yourself day! Sometimes we don't have enough of those!!!!
As for me, things are going well. The beans are good and we go back to the doc on the 13th (it all seems so far away)! We don't get to find out what we're having (other than BABIES) until Sept. 13th. I hope we make it that far without DYING from anticipation! Work is still work (BLAH). I'm trying to get them to let me work from home part time once the babies come, but they don't seem too excited about that. I don't know what we're going to do. I would LOVE to be able to stay at home, but financially, that won't work (darn it)!
Anyhoo -- enough about me. I hope you're all having a great morning!!!!

Hi! Ouch on the hair removal. I get so tired of having to do that. I hope it wasn't painful.
Miss,
Hey long time no talk! That is awesome that you are on vacation. Nothing wrong with just hanging out. I hope your cousin is okay I'll be praying! BIG HUGS. We are here for you.
Steph,
I know you are going to be gone for a few days but when you get back hurry and tell us what is up with you b/c we are all waiting to hear about when you get the boys!
Dede,
Wait wait did you ask Andrea how the BABIES were doing? More than one? Clear that up for me? Last time I heard it was a BABY? Fill me in ladies. LOL No news about any other children. Still waiting on the call. FIL is doing very well now. Eating like a horse to gain his weight back. Keep trying with the job situation I'm sure you will get something soon. Don't let your DF pressure you into anything you aren't feeling ready for!!!!!
Andrea,
BABIES? I see on your ticker it has two!!! I can't wait until you get to find out the sex. I want to know too! LOL CONGRATS!!! WHAT A SURPRISE! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. We are still on the list for FP and adoption. All we can do now is wait for a call to say we match with a child.
This is how i feel EVERY day...
Fat, Useless, depressed, hairy, disgusting, i feel like my whole body jiggles when i walk and my double chin is so disgusting- i feel like when i go to get some lunch the people think damn what a fat *****. i dont have anyone to help me with how i feel about myself, no positive reinforcement from anyone- not even my boyfriend. basically i feel like a fat hairy repulsive beast on a daily basis
(GROVEL, GROVEL)...
