Bigtime Saturday Night

9:15pm on Saturday night. Are we out with friends? No. Having a "Date Night"? No. Even hanging out watching a movie... No! We are in the bedroom; hubby zoning out while creating his own universe with his computer and me reading a book and lounging with the puppy. Why? Well, the paperchase has officially started ! I spoke with our Social Worker (henceforward to be known as the Domestic Goddess or DG for short) Thursday afternoon and picked up all of our Homestudy paperwork. The same day I received a call from our Dossier consultant (DC) and got all that paperwork. So there I was all pumped up and, let's be honest, freaking out a bit 'cos now it's all happening and there was no way I could sleep. Spent most of Thursday night on the couch watching old movies on TCM. Found out Friday from DG that there is a training session Saturday morning at 8:30am. It is 3 1/2 hours away from us. We had to go though, or wait until Mid-April for another chance. Of course we weren't about to put it off! Again -no sleep. Finally just got up at 4:30am and had breakfast and coffee. We were still late for the seminar. Anyone who knows how slow I move before 10:30am will not be surprised at this. The seminar was very informative and we met some nice people but by the time we were done we were completely overwhelmed. I mean, there is just so much information and the stories are joyous as well as heartbreaking. We were totally stretched thin. So by 7pm we were in pj's so tired we were almost hallucinating. I let Bubba up on the bed which we Never do. Just needed some puppy cuddles, you know? The kitties seemed bemused but not pissed. Anyway, Sunday was fine. Had some fab sleep Sat. night and woke Sunday and did some retail therapy:) . Hubby brewed up a batch of beer. Spent last night sorting through documents, etc... This morning I sent DG and DC both long lists of questions to make sure I understand everything correctly. Bubba keeps looking at the bed...
