I went to the dentist today and had 2 fillings fixed. I haaaaaate going to the dentist. My anxiety around all things dentist is just horrible. I swear, she had to jam that needle into my jaw joint. It hurts.
Dave and I went out to dinner for his birthday... a few days after. It was the 1st time we'd been out alone together for a few hours since last Christmas. My husband is not a talker, but that's ok. The conversation that we did have and also the moments of quiet, together, were great. We do need this time to connect. I am thinking we need more of it, too.
My birthday is next. 37! Jesus! Where does the time go? I'm going to have a 19 year old daughter shortly after my birthday.
The pumpkins... still doing pretty well. Still having visits with parents. We're up to twice a week for 3 hours. We were at twice a week for 2 hours. I am thankful that the reunification process is gradual. This is going to be crazy hard for everyone. Little guy still says that he is not going to go. Now he says that it's not, "part of his story and it's not true." He's such a bright little boy... sad, having to think about this kind of thing when all he should have to think about is Caillou, being a firefighter, and how fast he can ride his bike through the circle of the house. I digress.
Baby just fell asleep... Shower time. Tomorrow, we have visit and I am going to hit the gym. Carting along 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' for my time on the treadmill. Hoping for Ambien to work tonight.

Wow. The only thing I have to say about your fostering situation is that at least your reunification process is gradual! It's going to be devastating, but you are still getting lots of time with them. As they increase the visitation time, it gives more opportunities for them to mess up. We just have to pray that everything goes best for those pumpkins!
