Why is my head spinning?

I know, I know. I got you all excited a few weeks ago about the possibility of us adopting an 8 month old little girl. Then we found out that we were never even submitted on her. Sorry about that, but welcome to my life.
I talked with our case worker today, S. She asked about a child. I called my husband and our trusted friend, The Adoption Lady. I called S back and said “We’d love to.”
That is the short version of the story. We are being submitted on a 4 month old baby. That’s all I want to share right now. I’ve got to keep you in suspense on something! We are for sure being submitted – doesn’t mean we’ll be chosen, but we’re being submitted!
I don’t know how long this process usually takes or when we may know something. I’ll let you know if/when I find out. Just keep praying! We want the child (ren) God has for us.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! I’m so excited for you. It’s so much fun to be in the process and getting calls, and even if it isn’t THIS baby, one of these days it will be!! Yeaaaa!
WOOOOO HOOOOOO (Tamara begins a happy dance at her desk!). YAY GOD! It is happening so fast, I can’t wait to hear about how things go over the next few days – and I love the suspense.
Dear God, thank you for your continued faithfulness, and for answered prayer. Thank you for reminding us that you are in control, and that you have families for us right around the corner. We praise you – you are amazing.
Well, I don’t know why your head is spinning. I mean, it’s very easy to not think about something as uneventful and mundane as this. I’m sure the waiting will be easy. We can wait together.
Could I BE any more sarcastic?
Yippee!!! Go drink some sweet tea to celebrate!
What a roller coaster you are on! You ARE in my prayers–and you really DO need a sweet tea to celebrate!
