After days of actually sleeping through the night (thank God for the amazing helpers in our lives) for the first time since we found out about the adoption thing, I am finally able to get back to "life as usual" here. The papers are signed, sealed, delivered and J is ours!
Last night we all traveled down to Evansville for the evening because the hubby and I registered to play in a cornhole tournament at the Freedom Festival. We got all the way to the finals and lost in the third game. It was a lot of fun and the kids got some time in the pool with friends and family. We gave Katie the day off, so as hectic as it was, it was a pretty good day. K and I are starting to think that after a few more months, we can reduce her hours a bit.
So addressing my title for this post...it actually does feel that way. All this time, I think we were kind of preparing ourselves to lose him, that we actually started distancing ourselves from him (I feel so incredibly guilty now! It is awful that happened...we didn't even realize it til this weekend!) After the weight lifted though, it really feels like we are at a fresh start. It makes me sad to think how we lost the friendship of M and B in this process, but, what's done is done.
G is still having night terrors and we are looking into different herbal "myths" to find out if there is anything that can help her. The doctors say they will pass...
Time to go check in on the kiddos and to get some sleep. Marriage counseling tomorrow, I will keep you updated. :)
