A new week...

   Starting a new week. I have never been one to wish my life away, but I am looking forward to having some things happen. I heard from my case worker, Mary Ann, today. She is sending my home study to Atlanta tomorrow hopefully, they should let me know by next week that they have gotten it and how long it will take them to do what they have to do to finalize it. I know that some of this doesn't make sense to most of you, but they are awesome little baby steps, HAHA, for me.
    If you will notice, I have added the logo to the agency that I am waiting to get approval from. I am going to call them tomorrow to see what is up. I mailed in the preliminary application last week. The website is www.vorf.org . You should check it out. It will give you some insight on some of the process. 
    Some of my friends can't believe that I bought the recliner that I mentioned. I have always been anti-recliner...lol. Age changes alot of things. I am going to take a picture of it and post on here to prove it. Give me a few days.
    My friend Jody and I were looking at all the baby stuff in Target over the weekend. That does get me a little excited. There are so many choices for Snuglies. If you know what that is and have one you think is great, please let me know which one it is.
    Since I will be at home more once Aeson arrives, I decided that it was time to get serious about the cooking thing. I can do it, but just need to work on my organizational skills. I guess it would be good to stock the cabinets as well, HA. I actually bought a crock pot this weekend as well. The idea of putting everything in one pot and letting it cook for 8-10 hours sounds easy enough. Plus, there are a zillion recipes on the internet for "slow cooking".
    At this point, I know that some of you that read this may not find it very interesting. And it probably isn't, but it will be relevant to Aeson one day. Also, I realize that as hard as I may try, there will be numerous grammatical errors in these posts. I apologize for that, but most of the time it is way late and I am way tired when I am writing this. So please overlook these imperfections
    Also, keep your fingers crossed. I found a organization that gives financial grants to some who are adopting. This is a grant that does not have to be paid back...lol. I kind of doubt that I would be eligible for anything, but I will fill out the paperwork and see what happens. Every little bit helps.
