My little girl is an unhappy camper today ~ some major teething issues going on I think. Actually, i wondered about that the other week too ~ that possibly the reason she was so miserable had a lot to do with not feeling well ~ as much as, or more than the adjustment issue. She had a very runny nose that week, and she's got it again today. A few other symptoms common with teething too. So i'm not getting a lot done today, but i wasn't counting on it anyway.

I'm stressing less about the watch thing... still bugs me, but i can't do anything about it until i can do something about it ~ lol. I'm not making an extra trip into the city just for that. So i've been able to at least set it aside for the time being. And i think/hope that the family relationship issues will be resolved too...

Adoption... it's a bit frustrating to be waiting so long at this end knowing the "long" wait is still ahead of us. But God knows where it's at, and He sees the big picture, so we're not going to get uptight about it. Right now i think the only thing we're waiting for is the employer letters with original signatures. We're not sure why his boss (branch manager) can't just do up the letter here in Saskatoon ~ why does the Alberta branch manager need to do it?? And then, how many times do you ask your new boss if he's taken care of it already? Or do you just jump to the top guy on your own (and risk offending your new boss ~ while still on probation).

Our social worker is allowing us to bring our age range of acceptance up to 60mos. as we had wanted originally... after we shared a summary of information from other families who have adopted older children from Ethiopia. This is, providing our adoption worker has no objections. They will probably be discussing it today and then the amendment papers will be written up and we'll have to sign again. So our request is two siblings ~ older girl (24-60mos), younger boy or girl (6-36mos. ~ or might be 6-30mos.). That was about the easiest way to simplify it.
