Eliza loves playing on my bed. She is always asking, "uppy" to get up on my bed. I got her out of the tub tonight and she, of course, wanted "uppy". I put her on my bed, walked into her room to get her jammies and came back to find a big puddle on my bed. It's been one of those days where I don't feel like I have the energy to do anything, let alone change all of the sheets on my bed. The thought actually crossed my mind that maybe I could just buy a new mattress (which I need anyway) and they could take away the sheets with the old mattress. Am I lazy or tired? Maybe a little of both, but the sheets are off of my bed and I'm working up the energy to put the clean ones on.
***I love to look back at my blog and see what a difference a year can make. I can still remember the excitement of October 17, 2006. What a rush! The anticipation...there is so much fun in anticipation! The adoption process is a phase in life. Kind of like college or some other big, long event. There are good times, bad times, and times where it seems like it will never end. Then when you look back on it, you kind of miss it. I love the memories that I have between referral and the day I met Eliza. I'm not sure I'll ever top those feelings of excitement. I also know that next year I'll look back at the blog and miss the baby days (but not the pee on the bed!) that are happening right now. A good reminder for me to simply enjoy the present!

I feel for you. I had one of those days yesterday. Today was MUCH better for me and tomorrow will be for you.
Hang in there!
I know how you feel. The other morning Jay brought Maylin in around 6 am. He was up and she was crying so he brought her to me. She fell asleep again and I woke up to a wek and warm feeling down my back around 6:30 a.m. I was too tired so I just went back to sleep. Gross I know, but I was pooped. I remember reading your Oct 17 post last year. I was so excited for you. Can't believe it has been a year!
I actually had enough energy to laugh so hard I about had to change my sheets. Thanks for keeping us all on the same page:)
Oops!
PS - It was neat to read your post and realize that it was only a year ago that your CA was approved so your trip was set in motion. So much has happened. It's neat to read as it's encouraging to us to realize that our lives will someday change just as quickly!
Happy mattress shopping...I mean laundry day! LOL
Our rule is Glenys is not allowed on the bed nekkid!!

This one made me laugh, because Genevieve was just on my bed naked yesterday morning, and the thought actually crossed my mind on "what if she goes". It is the worst when things like this happen at night when you are just so darn tired.. but somehow I suspect will be a cause of laughter in the not too distant future!
You'll always miss your baby...but each age the best age - at least until they're teenagers, I'm sure! I try to enjoy every minute of it!
I remember those days too. It was so much fun to watch your excitement build and then your dream come true :)
Those kinds of things always seem to happen at the *worst* times.
I can totally relate to the 'just buy a new mattress' way of thinking . . . sometimes I don't know where I get the energy!!
Hope you found the energy to carry on =)
Definitely had those days!!! And I'm sure still plenty to come! Looking back is always a sure-fire way, to make you feel good, about some "not so good" situations and days!
Every day is a gift. They grow up so fast! It's tough to remember that when you are bone tired and they are really pushing buttons but oh how we love them!!! Can you imagine life without Eliza now??
I am feeling the same way. I cannot believe how quickly the last year has gone by, and how much our lives have changed. Eliza is just so cute, and I love reading about how good she is doing. We miss you two very much. Would love to see you sometime in the future.
Aloha,
Bailey :o)
