Enough!!!

So, here I sit, 48 hours after another day of bad news. I have consumed an ENTIRE Boston Cream Pie in an attempt to eat my feelings and don't remember tasting a bite of it (I know I am not the only one that has gone there, so don't judge)! It has been a difficult couple of weeks and there have been few words spoken within the walls of our house, let alone outside of it. I have cried thousands of tears, screamed endlessly into a pillow, asked "why?" more times than I can count, and moped around this house in my pajamas for FAR too long!
I can't begin to understand why those two, sweet little faces have to wait another month for their mom to come and get them. There are more unanswered questions than I can count and I am left feeling completely out of control.
The complications with the adoption are things that I can do nothing about. Not only that, but they will pass and, hopefully, be forgotten once I hold Macie and Ella in my arms (Girls, I'm still coming I PROMISE).
Thank you all for your support. Your encouragement has meant more than any of you could know and I want to make sure you are recognized for being part of what shook me out of my somberness.
The world has bigger problems and there HAVE to be things that I can do, to make it a little bit better, even if my mind and heart are in Africa with my girls.
So, that said, I am going to do my best to move past being so self-absorbed and do something worth while with each day of this wait.
I just wanted to make sure that I put this down in writing so that I had something to hold myself to. I'll keep you updated as best I can on how I am doing and what I find to help me get myself out of this rut I've been in.
If anyone has any ideas, I am open to suggestions! With all my heart, thanks again.
Beth

  1. That's my girl! I'm proud of you for your honesty during this difficult time. Someday your girls will read this blog and see how you picked yourself up and looked for the good in the waiting. You're a great example for them!
    Love and prayers,
    Mom

  3. woops...I can't imagine going through what you are going through, but I know what it is like to have to accept things you have no control over. I will keep praying that the path to this adoption gets a little smoother and that sooner rather than later, Macie and Ella are home safe and sound with you and Garrett.

  4. Maybe a massage??? Hang in there. You are already being a great mama. Stay strong and heck eat some more pie if it helps.
