Behind The Eight (e-hem)...Make That, Behind the Christmas Ball!

So, I was trying to do a new blogpost at least every Saturday. I was off to a good start, and then....life is just interesting! A process that usually takes 90-120 days during adoption was expedited because of Ava's (Jada's) deadline. Well, expedited it was to take 30 days. Nope - God answered in a BIG way! 8 DAYS!!!! Did you hear that? E I G H T DAYS!!!! That threw me into a paperwork shuffle like you wouldn't believe! Compiling my dossier and getting all of the necessary seals and approvals. Then as I pulled into my driveway from the courthouse with my paperwork, I noticed three scarecrows, five pumpkins, two hay bails, and lots of pots of dead mums to great me! I realized that I hadn't even had a chance to take down my fall decorations. Which means, I also haven't had a chance to begin to decorate for Christmas! AS I was in the snow and ice taking down the fall decorations, I have to admit that I had thoughts of simply stringing lights around them and hanging mistletoe over their heads. So, now I wait in this ice to go to Annapolis for one final step of authentication. Planning on leaving in just a couple of hours. Also, tomorrow night is the end of the Auction For Ava (Jada)! If you haven't visited the Facebook page, please do so. Many items without bids. Also, the puzzle fundraiser is still going, albeit slowly. Please consider helping! Behind the 8 ball and behind the Christmas ball. Buried in paperwork and buried in ice. Yep, it's beginning to look a lot like adoption!
