A Little Nervousness

Tonight is our 3rd time to be scheduled for our adoption homestudy (it's been cancelled by the case worker the other 2 times due to issues in his life). I fully expected for him to call or email to cancel again, but so far we haven't heard from him....so maybe it's actually going to happen this time.

That being said, I'm getting a little nervous. I picked up/neatened up the house as much as I could last night because I'll be at work all day today (unless I can sweet talk my supervisor--Becky, if you're reading this, do you feel sorry for me?). I know he doesn't care too incredibly much about how much dirt is on my floor or dust is on my furniture or how many beds aren't made or toys are on the floor, but I do :)

On the way to school this morning, Makenzie asked me "What's next in the story tonight after school?" That's her way (no idea where she got it) of asking what we're doing tonight after school. I reminded her again that the man who will tell us if we're going to get a brother or a sister will be coming by to talk to us. She reminded me again that she wants a baby so she can be big and they can be little and I reminded her again that we might not get a baby this time. I reminded her that she needs to mind Mommy and Daddy while the man is there and that she needs to not be shy and answer his questions for her. She's a three year old...this could be bad.

So please be thinking of us tonight about 5:30. Pray that my dog doesn't bark or at least that she doesn't bite, that he's not allergic to my cats, that my child doesn't show him her panties or demonstrate her ability to say curse words and that my husband can keep his foot out of his mouth for at least 3-5 hours while this man is in our house. Thanks in advance!

Anybody have any Xanax I can borrow?!
