Excitanxsiopated

Excitanxsiopated- is a word Brad and I have created to describe the waiting process. We've combined excited, anxious, anticipating, frustrated all together because there was no one word that said it all.

It truly is a process to wait. Your emotions go thru so much. We actually had talked at the end of our last meeting with the consultant about 2 children that may need placement. But we have to wait to get more information, see a picture, and possibly meet them. So we've been waiting (me not so patiently) to get any more information.

It's been a week and I finally got a call from Jessie, our consultant in training, with 5 different dates that work for them so we can all go and meet with the current foster mother and even meet the kids. The dates ranged from Friday (in two days) to Friday in two weeks. Jessie called the foster mother and the best date that works for her? of course next Wens. Everything is happening in one week increments, which at least it's not 2 weeks but arghhhhh!! (Excitanxsiopated -can't describe it any better.)

There is supposed to be a file that we can look at but no one can locate it. They are redoing it as I type this and will let me know when it's available to view. I'm trying to convince myself that next week is fine and there is plenty to keep me busy between now and then. We know very little about the kids and what we do know just leads to more excitanxsiopation so I won't even bother adding that tiny info here. What we do know about the kids is that we'll want to find at least some connection on Wens. or we will ask to move on to the next kids needing placement. So in the interest of not dashing hopes and sparing everyone else into going into excitanxsionpating arrest, I'll just ask that you pray for us between now and next Wens. that the Lord would give us clarity and wisdom. Also, please pray that I don't get fatally attacked by the excitanxsiopated monster.
