Mom Shoes

Gone are the days of my high heel knee high boots or animal print pumps. I have three children with one/possibly two on the way and they all move way too fast for me to be chasing them in that kind of footwear! I spend my days avoiding sprained ankles now! LOL! I officially broke down today and traded in my Hot Mom Shoes for just regular ole Mom Shoes! I spent $80 today on "sensible footwear"! UUGGH! I'm getting old!! First of all, I would NEVER spend $80 on anything, let alone shoes for myself! But when I tried them on and felt the comfort I couldn't resist! All I could think about was chasing Ryan and Laela while wearing them and they were as good as SOLD! When I went to check out the little Japanese lady said "why box no shoes" and when I told her I had them on she looked at me like I was purple! I showed her my other boots (high heel knee high) and she just shook her head as if to understand my situation! LOL! While walking out of the store I also had another realization. . .I have to have all my jeans cut off/hemmed now since I'm a whoppin' 5'2.5" and I've worn heels my whole life! What in the world!?! I didn't see this revelation of a day coming AT ALL! Oh well, so without further ado I introduce to you, MY MOM SHOES . . .

Phone Call

So, last night (our Sunday night) we got a phone call from our very sweet agency social worker. She just wanted to call to make sure we were clear on everything going on and to see what questions we had for her. She lives in Germany so we thought it was so nice of her to figure out the time difference and mark aside some time for us. It was so nice to get some of our questions answered. The biggest being. . .how long will we be waiting? She said that all of her families have gotten referrals for children by 6 months. Some less time, some the full 6 months, but almost always within the 6 month time period. She said we should be hearing back on the inquiries we've made within the next month or two. She said that the first notification would be to let us know that we were one of the final families chosen for the child. Then after a couple more months we'll find out if we are THE family. We have about 6 or 7 inquiries out right now so we are definitely READY to hear something. So basically, we are playing the waiting game. We'll certainly be keeping everyone posted as we learn more.
LOVE TO ALL!
