Reacting

Have you ever reacted to something so out of proportion to what it is that you have to laugh at yourself?

Our profile was given to a birthmom in Louisiana yesterday.

My phone rang tonight from an Idaho number (where our agency is located).

My heart immediately started pounding as I realized the area code. My thoughts raced. It's only been a day. Why would they call at night?

I yelled to Jake in the other room that someone from Idaho was calling me.

I answered the phone.

It was the wrong number.

Seriously.

Talk about overreacting.

Jake's still laughing. But only because he thought the same thing I did.

  2. I just spent some time reading over your blog. I really hope you get that "call" soon. Just be prepared to collapse and have no words. At least that was what happened to me. I just laid on the floor bawling my eyes out. Waiting for your miracle is hard.

  3. The waiting does get hard at times, but I've decided I kind of like having these little tastes of excitement. I hold my breath every time I get an email from our agency or when I check to see who is calling me. One of these days it is going to be the "call". :o)
