Community Services Contact

Phone call today from Community Services. Our file is in order and has everything required. Next step to wait for contact from social worker to do homestudy. No time frame can be given but I am glad to know that at least we have been looked at and in the pile to get going ! So more waiting. So know I hope we have homestudy before Christmas time. Am I setting myself up by setting sometimeline. Who knows but for me it works. Too bad I was secretly hoping we may have a child in our home for Christmas. Perhaps I have to adjust my expectations ! So more waiting.

Please keep us in your prayers.

Hot weather and Hormones

OK I am so unfocused . I just wrote a blog on the "O'donnel family blog" So my family will know how crazy I am. LOL The Hot weather is wonderful such a treat. However this has coincided with my hormones going all wacky. I really truly thought that I would be OK and not have any of the menopause symptoms. ( surgically induced)

I am working with my Naturpath to balance me and waiting for saliva test to give hormone levels. I don't like not feeling like myself and being so irritable and not able to sleep. It is like puberty but so much more intense. I also am feeling a bit cheated and realize I almost have to go through grief process. Geez I just finished that with Infertiliy. I have read that women who go through infertiliy often are reminded of the stuggle and losses of infertility when going through memopause. So I find myself reminded again thinking again how unfair that my biology has let me down and I have no control what so ever.

It sucks quite frankly and I am mad ! I guess I have to go throught the stages of grief all over again. I mean not like everyday I am thinking about it but in my experience trying to push ugly feelings down only makes them crop up at weird times.

So I am going to do all I can to be balanced and enjoy life and deal with all these intense emotions and feelings. OH me nerves bye ! I still believe things happen for a reason so I am not suprised that we have not moved forward in adoption as I have to work through this crazy period of my life first. On the other hand I just want to hurry up and be a Mom.

Que sera sera !
