LID!!!!!! .....And a little thing called Hurricane Isaac...

Jeremy and I found out yesterday morning that we have LID. Our LID is 8/16/12. Yay!!!!! What a way to start our day!! (Just so you know, adoption has a language of its own.) We were DTC 7/27/12. And I was beginning to think that we would NEVER be LID. It was frustrating at times to see others that were DTC after us receiving their LID before us. I tell ya....this adoption is teaching me patience.

So let me give you a little bit of background. DTC is Dossier To China. Our adoption agency sent our dossier on 7/27/12. You have to receive LID to be able to be matched with a child. LID is Log In Date. There is a Shared List(a list of children eligible for adoption) that comes out once a month, toward the end of the month. Once you have LID, you are able to be matched with one of the children from that list. We found out Monday morning that we had LID. The shared list was coming out Monday night. Well, from what we heard, the list was quite small. So, we were not matched this time. Maybe next month!

Oh, and if you haven't heard, there is a hurricane hitting us RIGHT NOW!!! Good ol' Hurricane Isaac! We have actually had some pretty days lately. I guess it was the calm before the storm. The boys played outside some this morning. They have way too much energy to stay in this house all day long! I had to go outside a few times just to defrost! It is freezing in this house! I wanted to keep it cold so when the lights go out, we wouldn't be too hot.

I bought plenty of junk food to get us through this storm :) But, I'm really not sure how much of it is left. We have all been eating way too much junk! But what else is there to do?! Walk outside and check the weather.....come back inside and eat some food! (I did steal some spaghetti from the neighbors tonight! It was GOOOOD!!!!) Everytime I was on facebook today, I had to read what someone was cooking. Why didn't I buy some "real" food to cook?! What was I thinking???? I definitely need to plan better next time.

Well, I am hoping for an uneventful night. And I am thankful that the electricity is still on. Hopefully it stays that way for awhile. For now, I must get these children to bed!!!! Stay safe my friends!!
