What a week...

This week has been quite an interesting week or something like that. We received our 2nd placement call..YEAH! It was for a 9 month old boy and after hearing the referral info, we decided that this sounded like a placement that would work for us. Andy called into work and I did all the FMLA paperwork, and we were so excited. Then, we learned some more info that we were not initially told. Info that was very important and was much different from the info we were initially given. After hearing the new info, I called the agency back and told them that due to the new info we received, we had to change our mind on the placement. I felt horrible doing that but this was a case that would have been a SHORT term placement!! We are wanting long term that could turn into foster to adopt. So....we're now anxiously awaiting our next call. Fire drill #2 was another good learning experience for us. We were very frustrated but decided to look at the positive side as the negative part just puts us in a bad mood and doesn't help us at all.
We're really hoping that this isn't an indication of what is to come!

There were also two huge losses in the entertainment industry this week! Both of these people were people that I looked up to as a child. In fact, my mom sent my Charlie's Angels lunchbox back with me in March!! I always wanted to have Farrah Fawcett hair. When I think of Michael Jackson, I think of the entertainer that I grew up listening to and watching his videos not the man he later turned into. Anyone who knew me growing up, knows that I loved to dance and put on "shows". I would have to say that his songs were the ones that I loved to dance to the most. I can remember one of the first videos that I ever saw was of "Thriller" and then "Billie Jean". Music and performing wouldn't be the same if there was never a Michael Jackson. Some of his songs had a great meaning to them as well. I think one of my favorites was "Man in the Mirror" so I made it my "blog song" for the next few days.

"I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror,

I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways

And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer,

If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place

Take A Look At Yourself,

And Then Make A Change"
