Adoption Central

Well I have renamed our house - we are now adoption central. Things are moving even faster than before. Today at lunch, I called our Social Worker in KS. She is ready to do the homestudy now! We have some documents to get together for her. Birth certificates, tax documents, marriage certificate, health statements from our doctor, and 5 MORE references. Get this - she wants to do it Thursday. Why wait?? She had an opening so I took it. Thursday at 5:30. It is supposed to take 2 1/2 hours atleast and she might have to come back. Guess we will see. I have kind of started cleaning the house. Our house is pretty clean (well usually) but I don't think the social worker wants to see 101 Nights of Great Sex or empty wine bottles on display on a shelf. I am also questioning all of Jay's cigar books. Guess we need to "keep it real." The Cigars can stay but the sex books are O-U-T! You know now that I am looking around, I think we have an inordinate amount of the "Dummy" series books plus more than our fair share of the Idiots Guide to "fill in the blank." Hmmmm not too smart. Literally. I wonder if J would freak out if I ran to Barnes and Noble real quick to stock up on some great literature and encyclopedias. I wonder if there is a book titled, "The Smart Parents Guide to Everything You Need to Know but Probably Already Knew About How to Raise Your Highly Intelligent, Beautiful, Gifted Children (via domestic adoption)." Now that, my friends, would be impressive!
Also, Our garage is full with pre-garage sale stuff. She told me that was fine so that makes me feel a little better. Of course, I want to clean out every closet in the hall way, each bedroom, the entry way and the linen closet in the bathroom but there is NO TIME! Do I sound worried??? Well I am. I think I am making myself sick. I woke up last night throwing up! I have so much acid in my system that my throat and tummy are just on fire. To make matters worse, we are finally getting our new roof on! It is supposed to happen tomorrow. Anyone want to take bets that it happens Thursday in the middle of all this? I can just see it now - we have stuff flying off the roofs, nails everywhere. That makes for a safe environment for a baby don't you think?? I need to slow down! Did I mention that J is the clean freak?? He is going to want to scrub every inch of this place!! I need to find a place to hide!

I probably won't do any scrapping tonight - I need to concentrate on cleaning BUT it is also the apprentice finale. Hmmmm. I guess I will clean on commercials plus I can fold lots of laundry that needs to be done.

I just want to let you in on our plan. - hahahahaha The Adoption God laughs at plans hahahaha - We know this could happen soon but it could also take a while (a year or even more.) Either way, we are fine. Really. Right now, we are working on things that we can control like cleaning, and paperwork and scrapbooking. We just want to get everything sent off to our agency as soon as possible. Just in case.
