I Can't Sleep!

Our referral is on the way from Bejing China. My devious new friend Karen got the tracking number from DHL so I have been tracking the package, checking every couple of hours in case there is an update. Our referral is supposed to get to the translator by noon Thursday and will be sent to our adoption agent from there. I WILL be driving to Asheville to get our referral Friday. I will probably be following the FedEx truck into the parking lot like a loon! I tried to sleep but as you will be able to tell from my post, it is 1 am right now and I do not have a sleepy bone in my body! James is in China right now so I have no one to tell me to go to bed. In my mind, I know the referral will not get here any sooner just because I am staying awake like an idiot. I think I could actually finish cleaning my house if I wouldn't wake Adam. I just know that tomorrow I will know how old Mira is, what her Chinese name is, if she has any health issues, and any other minute details from the referral that my agent is willing to give me via email. I am thinking my adoption agency should get caller ID if they haven't already. I have called them every day, usually more than once a day. I wonder if I will get better once I get her picture - I certainly hope so. But I will probably obsess about when we will get to board the plane to China.

When I talked to James today, I asked him if he wanted me to keep the picture a secret from the rest of the family until he got to see it and he said absolutely. I just felt like he should be the SECOND person to get to see Mira for the first time. He told me I could show Adam, Natalie, and Kayla but that is it. I am so sad that he won't be here to get her picture with me but I am sure I will get over it once I get her information in my hands.

I am now going to go upstairs and watch some stupid TV and maybe I will eventually nod off. Too bad Krispy Kreme doesn't deliver. I could definitely eat some sugar right now. I am sure that would help me sleep (HA HA).
