Here's your invitation to my pity party. You must bring chocolate or ice cream.

I really don't have a reason for one. I'm just missing my baby today. I always get worse when I am waiting for news. Today I was waiting for an email from either the Embassy or my agency letting me know if we have PA and when we are going to be submitted back to PGN. My agency hasn't gotten back to me, which means they are trying to get information from our facilitator, which is a good thing. The wait is just killing me.

So I thought I may not be the only one who is missing their baby today. Anyone wanna join?

BTW, if PGN would perk back up a little and let some people out today, that may cheer me a little!!

I'll join you! Our KO yesterday really left me down in the dumps. We probably won't get to pick him up for another 2 months at least.

Now I just need some ice cream . . .

I'm watching the Food Network and Giada just made a dessert that looks FABULOUS! If I could, I would stick my hand through the tv and get some for you!

Can I join?

I would love to join your pity party. I have been having one for myself lately. Tomorrow marks a year since our referral and I just thought she would've been home by now.
I would like to add turtle cheesecake and keylime pie to this party's dessert menu
Hang in there
Heather

Sorry you're down. I'd certainly share some cyber chocolate if I had some! Hope you get great news about that PA soon

Here's my RSVP: I'll be there!! Even though we received good news today, that we were submitted for Pink yesterday, I'm really finding it difficult to keep hanging on. I feel so close, but yet so far still. Lots of chocolate or a party in Margaritaville sounds real good right now ! !

I'm in and will be bringing the Turtle Tracks ice cream. Some days are better than others and you're right, it helps to see other people's cases moving. There are days when I'm fine and positive and upbeat, and then there's some days when I can't even look at his pictures without bursting into tears(and don't get me started about watching the video of him). Tomorrow will be better, and it's one day closer to your little one.

Please, please let me join. I have been feeling so depressed lately. I miss my little girl so much. I enjoyed my visit with her but it makes it so much harder to be home. I agree, if PGN would pick up I would feel a lot better! I'll bring the chocolate and the ice cream. How about some fudge topping

Boo Hoo

Sending hugs and prayers to all

right there with you, also!!!

I am right there with you. I have been so anxious this past week anyway, hoping and praying to get out of PGN. We, however, found out we were kicked out today after 7 weeks in without a word! I am SOOO mad!! And it isn't even for a real mistake. I posted another message about what happened you can check that our for yourself. PGN and their "old tricks" make me sick to my stomach!! I definitely need chocolate and lots of it!!!! I'm thinking a whole bag (or two) of Dove dark chocolates just might make me feel a tiny bit better!!!!!!

Just having one of those days. Typical Monday for me (I know it's Tuesday, but I don't work Mondays). I am having a chicken little day - I am sure the sky is falling cause everything else has today!

Anyways, how bout it I bring a 10 lb box of Sees candy with me to the party?

Anyone bringing drinks?

I am as we speak drinking a Mocha Moolate from Dairy Queen...I am soooo depressed and missing my baby. I thought for sure I'd be out by now. I can't imagine going through the entire long weekend with family and friends asking...have you heard anything...when....I may just burst into tears!

I've decided to bring chocolate fondue. I'll bring strawberries and all the annoying healthy stuff, but I'm also bringing BROWNIES, CHEESECAKE, and anything else extremely fattening that I can think of to dip in it. Oh man, I'm hungry.
