Sore hand!

We got a very large packet in the mail today from the agency that is doing our home study.  I was so excited to open the envelope, and I got started right away.  Kevin wasn't home so I just went through and started filling out my half of all of the forms.

I worked for most of the evening, and then I got kind of discouraged.  I don't know how to answer some of the questions, and I worked so hard and feel like I barely made a dent in that big stack of paperwork.  Instead of being excited right now, I just feel overwhelmed and stressed. Finding and asking people to be references is hard too.  I don't like asking anyone for help, and I am worried that I might be burdening the people that I've asked so far.  I still need to find two more.

Ugh.  I admire anyone who has already completed this process.  It is hard to stay enthused, especially when you think about the lack of thought that some people put into having children.

Kevin usually makes me feel better so, hopefully, when he is home tomorrow, we can continue with a better attitude.
