Not that I answered the call, but wouldn’t it have been funny had I answered the phone when this call came in.

“Hi Mrs. Awesome, this is the gym where you have a membership.  We were just calling to say we hadn’t seen you in a while and wanted you to know that we missed you and hope to see you again soon.”

Had I answered the phone my end of the conversation would have been like this.

“Oh, thanks, are you calling from the gym where I have a membership.  If so, put down the phone and go into the room that has all the bikes,  I’M ON ONE RIGHT NOW.”

True story.

I got an email from the state saying that they had a meeting today and had selected us as the adoptive family for the kids we want to adopt.  (YAY!)  However, we are not yet “approved”.

OK, let’s stop a moment while you throw a frisbee, WHAT?

Why would you select a family that isn’t approved?

Also, they came over last week to interview us.  “Mrs. Awesome, why do you want to adopt the children who you’ve raised since birth and are now in PRE K 4?”

Hmmm?  Have to get back to you on that one.  Hadn’t really thought about it.

And …

My caseworker, who hasn’t contacted me since, oh let me think MAY, and it is now NOVEMBER, told me I must have a “really good lawyer” because people seem a little stressed to get this done.    Well, sorry, I’m busy now.  I don’t know if I can rush this through for you all….

And btw, haven’t heard from the attorney since I informed them that CPS would not waive their rights to the kids, seven hours before we were supposed to be in court.

And they wonder why I’m mad when I talk to them.

Somebody call Shaggy and Scooby, that IS a mystery.

Our kids are required to have a vision and hearing test on file with the school, so I’ve spent the last week jumping through hoops to get a copy of their physicals from either their pediatrician or caseworker.  Only to find out that Boog was “non-cooperative” and I have to pay the school to do it anyway.

Princess was traumatized by the smoke alarms here and at school going off many times yesterday due to the heaters being used for the first time in a year, she kept coming out of her room every 14 seconds last night and finally “snuck” in and fell asleep on our cold floor.  Then complained this morning that she was shaking all night because she was cold.  Hmmm, go figure you leave your big fluffy pink infused bed with blankets and comforters and fluffy pillows and sleep with a sheet on the cold floor.   And you are COLD?

Scooby and Shaggy are going to need to be kept on retainer.

Oh yeah, and order a tshirt.  Last order for the year.
