Things just keep kinda getting worse here.

1. We weren't licensed this week because our worker forgot to fill out a form or something. 

2. The Governor announced his budget that will reduce what my district gets per student by over $500. This is in addition to the other crap he's doing to education.

3. Our Superintendent announced there will be several school closings next year. 

4. I still haven't had a period so I have another appointment for Monday, and then probably surgery Friday. 

5. At work I keep getting blamed for crap that's not even my fault (like my group being behind in the curriculum, when I got them they were behind)

6. Oh and my FSIL called a bitched me out about her bachelorette party invitation because Evite didn't send them all out at once, she insisted I forgot 3 of her friends.

There's just a lot of crap right now, and I keep waiting for this "good thing" that's suppose to be coming, when really I'd just much rather have my 3 babies and have everything go back to how it's suppose to be.

Honestly it just sucks, I'm getting judged everywhere, by the adoption people, by the people who support what our governor is doing. I hate that these people are literally deciding my fate, if I can ever be a mom, or if I'll have a job next year. It's just incredibly stressful and it's hard not to take the criticism personally.

That's awful Mo. Super, super sucky. I'm shocked that people are supporting the governor on this too - how can people not realize that great education is the number one key behind success? And if you want great education, you need great teachers. And you need to pay for that.

It's awful not having any power in your future like that. We've been told we're losing teachers too this year and it's either going to be me or the girl I share an office with (my work BFF) which puts us both in an awful situation.

 With the fostering paperwork, are you talking delay or a refusal of license?

It's a delay, but we don't know how much of a delay. It depends on what form it was, she didn't specify. If it's something that requires a response from another agency it could be a while.

It feels like just after I kinda figured out my new normal and proved to myself that I survived all this crap the pressure gets turned up.

If my family's experiences are anything to go by, the adoption/foster path is fraught with more highs and lows and frustration than the pregnancy path typically is. My aunt and uncle had a two year battle over their second child whose birth grandparents wanted him back, and the wait they had to get him in the first place was agonizing.

It seems that most foster parents/adoptee parents speak of a period where they're holding their breaths. That holding phase sounds like it's where you're at. It's not easy to have a situation that you are emotionally vested in but have no control over. I can totally empathize with the job situation (3rd year in a row I've been on the block!), but the adoption... man... you're a superstar of patience!

I'm so sorry, MO.  The situation in Wisconsin is just horrible and everything else you have piled on top of that is totally crappy.  I can't imagine the level of frustration and uncertainty.  {{hugs}}

Thanks ladies, its just really sucks right now. I'm hoping to know more this week about everything. The uncertainty with the job situation is the scariest right now.
