Stressed Out

Wanna know how stressed out I am? I left my friend sitting in a restaurant tonight waiting for me because I completely forgot we were meeting for dinner! (Wendy, I am SOOOOO sorry!!) Those of you who know me even a little bit know that the one thing I don't forget to do is eat! I remember making the plans and then two seconds later, they were gone.
I still haven't heard from the lab to know if the DNA sample is there. I think I finally reached my peak of anxiety---I decided today, after school, that I can't continue like this. (and that was before Wendy reminded me that I was supposed to be meeting her for dinner). I went and bought myself some flowers on the way home tonight and decided that I need to find a way to have a little bit of peace for the next few days. I know I won't hear anything until tomorrow at the earliest, so I'm going to try to relax a little bit tonight. My agency is working on the problem and there is hope of some communication tomorrow. So, I will leave it up to them and God and I will try to focus on being a better teacher and friend right now.
If you've been praying for me to have some peace in all this, keep praying. I think it's working. :)

  1. I'm praying! I'm praying!! I completely remember how difficult this time was. I nearly, seriously, lost my mind waiting on pink. I have to say though the forgetting everything may never correct itself though. :) The mommy brain will take over when Andrew comes home and you'll wonder how you ever learned to talk or walk. ;) I'm very glad that my heart and lungs work without me having to think about it. ;) (((BIG HUGS)))

  2. Ruthanne I really hope tomorrow brings good news! I think lapcorp is holding out on you all and they really have the results but don't want to tell you....think of it kinda like a surprise :-) OK wishful thinking but it could happen! Keep us all posted on any news you get tomorrow. Maybe we'll get lucky and our embassy appointments will be within days of each other! That would be awesome!!!!! ttys!

  3. Oh Ruthanne! I'm so glad that you took some time for you (with the exception of skipping a meal!) and bought those flowers. I am hoping so hard with my whole being that tomorrow is a good news day for you. Your patience has been amazing throughout. You have every right to lose your patience at this point. BIG MAJOR HUGS!

  6. You're in my thoughts Ruthanne. Waiting for pink was the worst and honestly, you guys now have it so much worse because of that second dna. I hope, hope, hope that you hear something VERY good tomorrow.
