I just need to know where we buy the big girl panties? And if she gets some she can give a pair to cupcake!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking that an easy way to bring the subject up might be to say " I notice it takes a while for you to respond to my emails, is there a better way to contact you?"
Sometimes I have to remind myself that not everyone is a puter junkie like me - some people don't check their email for weeks at a time (unlike me - and apparently you, lol - who goes crazy waiting for replies).
It took a long time for my kids first mom to understand that when I said "Ill call you right back" and then didn't , it was nothing personal, it was just me. Now it's a running joke that "I'll call you right back" are the only words I will ever say and NOT mean.
Have a great vacation!

Just wanted to say I am so glad you got the visit worked out! Have a great vacation and a great visit!

(And also, another vote to talk to Cupcake's mom about the communication thing. I think billysmommy made a great suggestion with the phrasing of it. )

Yeah BillysMom! That's a super good way to do it!!!!

And SS - SUPER idea!!! I'm SO going to give her a present of big girl undies!!!!...now if I can just find some with cupcake's on them! haha....better pick up a pair for myself too since I have to be the big girl and start the conversation!

UGH! That's always the worst part - isn't it? The lead up to the conversation...If you're anything like me, you have fake convos in your mind, and they aren't always good...lol...(this happens alot to me in my regular life - not just adoption related)

In the end, it's usually so painless that I kick myself for spending so much time worrying.

Enjoy your vacation!

I have been doing this ALL DAY with some work stuff I'm dealing with...I can only imagine that my flights home will be some prime rehearsal time
