What else?
We have been waiting and waiting for our leaser to buy our house. Patiently or not so patiently. He has until October to do so, so we might have the pleasure of waiting for quite a while longer.

We got a call from our realtor yesterday saying that we needed to pay about $200 for a plumber to come out and look at the house, cause there was a leak. Not real sure about where or what or whatever, but we told her to go ahead and send in the clowns....I mean plumbers.

So, then we get a call saying that it doesn't look too bad, the carpet wasn't too wet. Blah, blah, blah.

Well, today we get another call from her, wanting us to give her our insurance information cause it looks like there might be some damage to the subfloor. Uggghhh!

It has been really hard not to let it get us really depressed. Just seems like there is always something.

Also, several of the boys are having a really hard time with school being close to out. Usually this would be a time of rejoicing, and they are for the most part glad to be out soon, and heading to the beach and camp, but they are also thinking about other things. Most of them were hoping against all odds that they would be able to head home or to a foster home this summer, and many of them have had no news or plans for any changes as of yet. It makes them frustrated to know that they won't be heading home and that they more than likely will be looking at at least another year in placement. Emotions are on the edge and just waiting to spill out. It makes for some added stress around here.

There are lots of changes about to occur and they are all just really on edge. Makes my heart break for them sometimes. Some of them are waiting on parents who are unlikely to make changes that they should, others are waiting on red tape....and we all know how that can be.

May the Lord grant us some calm and peace and assurance.
