If the process of adoption is called a "paper pregnancy", then the time between referral and travel should be "labor" right? Well, let me tell you- I have had just about enough of these labor pains! I want my children now!!!!! I am going crazy!!! Don't get me wrong, I would go through this process a million times over to bring our girls home, but four months seems like an eternity.
Every day is filled with attempts at distracting myself from watching the clock as it moves as slowly as possible through each hour. I am a jumbled ball of emotions that keep me from locating any sense of reason or logic about pretty much anything.
Garrett is patiently dealing with my lack of sanity and is hanging in there pretty well. It takes a lot to deal with a crazy woman while trying to adjust to the new standards medical school imparts on it's students. The school already has him at Walter Reed sitting in with doctors there as they work with patients through various aspects of treatment. They are also expected to assist in home visits within the next week or so.
Garrett's books for the year and the box of human bones he was issued. Pretty cool!
Needless to say, Garrett has jumped in with both feet. It really is pretty amazing what these students get to do. He comes home tired, but the look of satisfaction on his face shows the confidence he feels. He is doing what he was made to do, and I am proud.
The house is pretty much unpacked. There are only two or three boxes left in the basement, but with 6 weeks left until travel, I hate to tear into them for fear of having a REALLY bad day and needing something to work on. So for now, I continue to delve into worlds of rearranged furniture, recipe experimentation and the every day household chores.
I swear the clock is ticking slower than normal....
