February 9th is the cutoff!

Well CCAA sent out referrals in a record 22 days since the last batch and they covered up to February 9th! Whoo hoo 9 days!!! And lets not forget that they had the olympics during this time and they were not all working. Good job CCAA. So I am no longer thinking negative and only thinking positive. I know some people in adoption land may read this and think that I have totally lost my mind but anything can happen. Who of us would have thought we would still be waiting almost 30 months later when we were told 6 months? So what if they decided to do what they said and start sending out 15 days of LIDs at a time? What? Yep that is what got me stressed out yesterday! What if? Well I will tell you what if,after jumping for joy , I will be beyond stressed because there is so much left for us to do and buy before Jaden comes home! I dont know what we will do! The kid has clothes,blankets a place to sleep and toys but that is it! We also have to do our homestudy update since we moved, its paid for but we have to schedule a time for them to come. Our fingerprints expire in November!(yhea that is right for all you non adopters your fingerprints expire every 15 months, who knew!) We gotta find a house sitter for 2 + weeks. Thank god for my parents who will keep our three heathens while we are gone, they will get to take a little doggie vacation! And a shout out to my parents for helping me get the things we cant seem to find for our trip up here. They are trying to keep me from being so stressed!
Now I know chances are it could still take them awhile to get through the 34 days of LIDs we have left for our referral but I have a feeling or maybe just a hope that it will be sooner then I think. I have always said I will have her picture for Christmas, of course I thought it would be Christmas 2006 not 2008!
So for this month I am thinking positive and stressing myself out. Who knows what next month will bring!
