Back burner

School is most certainly not on the front of my mind right now. Actually, I think it's ranking somewhere around ... ten? Maybe nine--but only on days when I don't have a headache.

I've had a terrible, awful headache for two days now. It's not completely unexpected (I'm taking a medication that can cause headaches), but it's unwelcome nonethless. This has made being me a lot more bothersome than usual. Last night, for instance, as I played storyteller for my beloved Cubbies for the last time ever as Director, I was fighting off a headache. My joy was not, shall we say, complete. Actually, dear friend J. used the term "shadow" to describe the crippling migraines she used to experience. All of a sudden, I know exactly what she means. This constant pain in my head is hovering on the bottom of the priority list, but it's there.

What else is ranking above school right now? Adoption.

We are awaiting placement. Our homestudy is in circulation among social workers and our placement director is actively looking for our kids. Wow. I am anxious and excited and scared all at the same time. This one is ranking very high right now.

On the good things of course. I hope the headaches clear up soon. I know what you mean about the shadow ones.

Are you adopting domestically? Our dd is from China. Adoption can be challenging but it is a great way to add to your family. May God bless your family.
