Obviously mine has to be adoption themed because I'm obsessed:
Wine: we finally went totally live on our agency's website! Where as before we only had basic info and no pics or in depth info on one site shared, we are now on three sites with everything. This makes a match wayyyy more likely!
Whine: I'm getting irritated with my agency. They are completely competent and I'm not doubting our choice, but I guess I was expecting a little more hand holding when you consider the amount of money we are paying, and the fact that most folks who look into adoption are usually coming off a difficult journey with loss or infertility and would appreciate the attention (at least, we are). For instance; our profiles went live Monday and I only just happened to notice because I was looking on the website myself; we didn't get an email or anything telling us about it. I let it sit for a full day and when I still hadn't heard anything, I reached out to our media consultant and she kind of brushed me off like "wow you're fast! It's still in the proofing stage, I'll be in contact after some edits." Ummm... Okay. I know it's such a little thing, and she did get back to us a few hours later, but it was just weird to me. But I also get that my control issues are kind of rearing their ugly head and I need to go with the flow more. It's just so hard!!

Wine: My boys and I went on our first "big" bike ride yesterday. We went about 4 miles (until the little one was tired) and had a great time! Whine- I have been watching what I am eating and exercising a lot (running, biking, Pilates, etc) for the past two months with no results. Soooo frustrating.

theatrepal, So sorry to hear about your sister. Wishing for a swift recovery.
chele, Sad to hear about the girls. Keeping you in my thoughts.
WINE:: I got the job! I am starting at the federal agency that I really wanted to work at, and just in time that there will be no gap in benefits. No longer worried about the adoption now, since I'll be earning again.
WHINE:: The job is offering less than I was making before with bachelors, despite now having my masters degree. Granted, I knew I wouldn't be earning my full potential because this is super entry-level work, but LESS THAN? Learning about what federal positions are required to offer by law; negotiation wasn't really possible. I am still taking it - this agency does most hires from within. So, only really about 70% as excited as I as to get the job.
Whine : so we have been approved since April 16, but didn't meet our adoption worker until the beginning of May. We have been officially officially waiting for a month, and the only contact we have had from the adoption team was an upcoming conference. I mean I know we need to wait and it won't happen over night, but all we hear about is all these children needing homes through CAS, and we are waiting. Sigh. I know I need to get used to it. DH reminds me that we want the right match not a fast match ..... Yes I get that, but.....lol
Wine: the week is half way over and he weather is beautiful. I'm glad if we have to wait, to start this time of year when I can be busy with other things!

A day late but oh well!
Whine: the meeting we had scheduled on Tuesday that I was really looking forward to was cancelled. It was pretty unexpected with not much reason as to why. I have yet to hear from the agency on when we can reschedule despite my email. I am not exactly thrilled.
Wine: after being in our house for nearly 3 years my Dh and I are finally getting around to painting our master this weekend! Yay for small miracles. I also picked out some textured wallpaper for an accent wall and am super excited about it.
