News, news, news

I seem to start a number of blog posts with this "this will be short and sweet" and before long my readers are having to scroll and scroll.  My apologies, but I will try to keep this one short:) 

It seems there is always news in AdoptionLand--good or bad, and today I am thankful that I have good news.  I just learned that my dossier has been sent to San Fran for authentication and will likely be returned to my agency in another 12-14 days.  After that I will officially be DTV (dossier to Vietnam). Whoo hoo!  Again, more unsubstantiated rumors are floating about.  Honestly, I just tune it out.  Maybe they are harbingers of truth, but then again, maybe they are just crap. 

I'm tired peeps.  I really tired.  I know I've been complaining about it for a while now, but I'm exhausted.  Financially I can't really afford to take time off especially since I just received my fee schedule today from my agency.  Holy cow!  If my mom is reading this I just have one thing to say:  SAVE YOUR NICKELS AND DIMES.  I went to the grocery store tonight and bought a couple items fully realizing that it would be months before I would have the luxury of buying another one.  I bought my last container of nice cushy for the tushy butt wipe, a new toothbrush and some face cream. 

So, I think I'm going to talk to my boss about taking next Monday off.  If so, that will give me a 3 1/2 day weekend.  I say 3 1/2 because I worked 2 hours over today and I'm sure it will be equally busy tomorrow.  If so, I will be forced to take off early on Friday so I don't go into overtime.

Ok, I'm going to shut up now.  I'm tired and rambling.

Goodnight.
