Trying to Cut Corners

While waiting for our referral we have been coming up with very creative ways to save money!!

As you may know, while we were in France our fridge went on the fritz. To keep costs low and make sure the fridge is still running in top condition, we have hired Franklin to ensure its upkeep. All he requires as payment is some extra food and tons of love!! Best part...no plummer's butt!!

My Surogate Children

While we all anxiously await our referral, it looks like I am not the only one who is trying to fill the void!!

While we have been waiting...

We have come quite a long way in the nursery!! It's actually starting to look like a real nursery now! Mike and I built the changing table, hung the shelves and added a really groovy fish bowl! It's keeping me occupied and I am feeling close to the chips by being in their room and preparing for their arrival. Sometimes I sit in the rocker and rock the cabbage patch kid (or the cats) for practice!!
I will add the pix when I get home!

What the Hizzy?!?

So it has been almost two weeks since any referrals were given out and I am starting to get quite ansty!! The courts reopened in early October and I thought we would know who our chips are...but alas we do NOT!! Dad had a dream that we would get our referral for opposite sex twins on October 28...that's a Sunday, so maybe Friday the 26 or Monday the 29...that would be cool! Mom says the 6 of November and Mike Halloween...I had my bets on October 12...came and went!!
We have done some more work on the nurser, I guess I can post pictures of that while I wait!! Well, there isn't really much else that I can say or do at this point...patience has never been one of my thangs...oh where is the humanity?!?
