So for all my ranting and complaining on the internet (and in person) Ted planned the MOST AMAZING birthday for me. And it was a whole day. Let me give you the full picture:
On Monday mid-morning, I got an e-mail from Ted at work. He told me that he had gotten me the day off work for the next day (in a very cute, lawyer way that included filing a "motion" in front of my Judge for a day of relaxation) and included my schedule for the day. He had arranged for child care for the kids, since it was spring break I got to go to my favorite exercise place (Grand Jete for all those from Birmingham) and then a wonderful lunch with my parents. Then, the best part - I got a massage and then a manicure and pedicure. I got home around 6, showered and then we headed to my favorite restaurant - Hot and Hot. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine, courtesy of mom and dad, and I had an amazing Red Snapper. We talked and talked and I don't think that we mentioned the kids. As much as I adore and love my kids, adult conversation is so great.
All in all, a pretty much perfect day. All courtesy of my precious husband. I guess I'll keep him!

Nothing to say
So I haven't posted in a while. I really don't have anything to say. We are almost done with our homestudy update. The last of our reference letters was mailed yesterday, thank the Lord. Once our agency receives it, all the paperwork should be done, and all we have left to do is the update with the social worker. We are (hopefully) going to do the meeting with her via Skype or telephone and not have another in-person meeting. Once all that gets done we are just back to the waiting. I feel like it has been forever since we had that bad couple of days in February, but I know that it really hasn't even been a month. Time is moving slowly. But I am trying to accept it even if I am sad about it.
In other news, the construction is going so well, despite some bad weather. They have framed the walls of our bedroom/dressing room/bathroom and have started on the roof framing. They have still not poured the concerte slab that connects this structure to our house so it lookes like we are building a separate house. I have gotten some pretty funny comments about it. The plan was to pour the slab today but it looks like it could rain at any minute (and is gonna be like that all week) so I am not sure if it is going to happen.
Next week is spring break. Of course we didn't plan anything because we were really hoping that we would be in Russia, be on the way to Russia, or be on the way back from Russia. I am working on Monday and Tuesday and then am going to take the kids down to Grey Rocks for the remainder of the week. Mom and dad will be there (dad will probably be living there as turkey season starts on Thursday!) so they will be a huge help. I haven't heard that Ted is going to take any time off so I guess that we will see him on Friday night. He is helping try another case in front of the same judge in Texas next month so I am sure that he will be working hard for the next few weeks.
Ward and Ann Park started back on their soccer this week. They have the same teams (give or take a few players) as in the fall, and they are both so excited. Ted is coaching Ann Park's team and it is adorable to see all the girls and the crushes that they have on him. He really wanted to coach Ward's team but I think secretly he is glad that he got "stuck" with the girls.
Finally, I am turning 35 one week from today. Not one person in my family (other than my children who have been drawing me birthday pictures for the past week) seem remotely interested in my birthday. In fact, Ted has not said one word about it - not even a "let's try to go to dinner" comment like he usually says. And I am leaving for Grey Rocks the next morning. Mom hasn't either but she has a lot on her plate with being at Jeanne's to help with Liam (well, mainly with Tripp and Ashton) and now heading to help Kit who had her tonsils taken out yesterday. Then she is headed back to Jeanne's to help for another week, so I know that her mind is not on it. But with all that said, I have to admit that I have my feelings a little bit hurt. I seriously hope that I don't end up cooking my own birthday dinner.
