ONE

One day left! O-N-E.

In a count down, that number one can hold a lot of anxiety. 5, 4, 3, 2... 1... then success, delay or failure. All the work, all the waiting, and anticipation hangs in that moment. It sits heavy, it ponders its impact on the universe. Maybe it is the way the universe does one final check on her plans; is this what's right? Right for everything - what came before, what comes after, is this the right, the most right and perfect thing to happen at this moment? In the end, the moment had it's circle in the sand, the circle was there and planned for it to be exactly as it was, only known by those powers much greater than we can comprehend. But in the moment of the number one, we wait for the reveal of those plans, that have existed before time, to come to realization. (when looking at it like this, it really does make me wonder why I ever worry).

Just a reminder to myself and anyone else who is anxiously waiting with me... anything could happen so that tomorrow is not the day - power outage, missing paperwork, illness, lost files. Right now my mom is reading this thinking, "yeah right, Kamille KNOWS that kind of thing never happens to her." I do have a good feeling we will make it through court and I will get notification about it tomorrow. But, I like to prepare myself, just in case we do have to wait a little longer. Just hanging in there for the "we have lift off", the whole space exploration and walk on the moon is yet to come!

Our Country Specialist did e-mail me yesterday to say that we could hear as early as tomorrow or possibly as late as Tuesday about the results of the court proceedings.

We also received new measurements for Tamene yesterday, he sure is growing! Amazing what food and heath care can do to reverse the effects of malnourishment. His height, weight and head circumference have all increased. At this point he has been with the care center about 10 weeks.

A couple other notes:
A great big ginormous THANKS and hug to Soul Sister for all her help this week (painting, cleaning, private yoga sessions, decision making skills, etc, etc, etc.).
Grandma Babe - I saw your e-mail reply to my post at nearly midnight last night.
Sister-in-love - Any word on how many chickens are needed to keep a Boeing in the air?
Total number of replies to my request for notes to Tamene: 2 (yes 2, and at least 10 of you have told me directly you are "working on it")

Here's to waiting for the universe to reveal its plan...
