Hope is not lost.  I realize that the type of court hearing that occurred yesterday will require lots and lots and LOTS of paperwork before the girls could ever get from point A to point B.  I also realize that today is Friday and unfortunately, DFCS caseworkers are extremely over loaded and I’m sure have tons of stuff to push through and complete by 5pm on Fridays.  My supervisor did happen to call the caseworker several times only to find that her voice mailbox was FULL.  Lovely.

So, based on the relationship that my supervisor has already developed with the caseworker, I am confident that this is not over and we will indeed hear something soon…even if “soon” means Monday or even Tuesday.  These girls will be worth the wait, and in the meantime, I have cuties like this to make me thankful for what I’ve already been blessed with:

Owen is quite proud of his big boy undies. He still has about one accident a day. But he did poop on the potty again today and none of his accidents are ever while we’re out and about, they’re always at home when he’s distracted playing with his brothers. He’s finally starting to tell me when he has to go. That will definitely make things easier.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you to all my faithful prayer warriors out there. Don’t stop now!! The best is yet to come!!

No news.

Yes, Robin, this does STIINNNKKKKK.  :(

My supervisor from our agency has been in meetings all day, so she hasn’t been able to call and check on the case.  I’m only holding out hope for another hour or so.  Otherwise, we’ll have to wait the whole weekend…and keep praying.

We’ll rejoice with a ‘yes’ and have peace with a ‘no’.  But this ‘not knowing’ is killing me.

Please keep praying.

Still no call yet.  I can’t even function.  I’m just walking around the house finding little things to do…waiting for my phone to ring.  This is ridiculous.  I do have errands to run, but it is pouring rain outside…and COLD.  I guess I’ll bite the bullet and head out for a while.  Maybe Starbucks will take my mind off things.  :)

**hopefully my next post will have answers!**

(7:01 a.m.)

Here we are, Friday morning, still no word.  I got about 25  phone calls yesterday asking if we’d heard yet…so…yes, my heart raced and the knots gathered in my stomach every time it rang.  Oh well.

I figure, this is a pretty big deal.  And my God loves big surprises.  So why not make me wait one more day right?  It will be SO worth it!  I’m praying for the call to come this morning!  Not sure I can take another 5 or 6 hours of waiting.  Ahhh!

Once again, I’ll post as SOON as I hear.
