Super J strikes again
Between yesterday and today, I've been ultraproductive. I've managed to knock the following things off my To Do list:
--Talked with 2 doctors at local hospitals who specialize in adoption. For a fee, either one will read and interpret Hester's medical chart so we'll know a bit more of what to expect re: Hester's health. For one of the doctors, we can prepay now so we won't face the expense of 2 experts right at match time. That's good news, eh?
--Ordered a crapload of resources from the ACONE library re: prenatal substance exposure. I'll pick up the materials tomorrow at our class. I love ACONE!
--Paid some bills. Good times there.
--Scheduled a vet visit for our Josie. Just routine, thank goodness.
--Scheduled a pediatrician interview with the woman we hope to have as Hester's doctor. I really liked her on the phone--can you believe I've already talked with her twice and I don't even have a baby yet? She's probably like, "Sheesh, enough already!"--and I'm looking forward to meeting her. I'm putting together a list of questions for her, so if you have any question suggestions, please share.
--Made Chocolate Malt Sandwich cookies with the kids this morning (recipe from Martha Stewart, of course). Too bad I put in a whole cup of malt powder when the recipe calls for just 1/4 cup, but they turned out fine. Yum!
--Also made homemade mac and cheese from my awesome diner cookbook. Double yum!
--And finally, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have another kiddo joining us part-time for work! Just 1-2 mornings a week, but still. His family is friends with another of my families, and I hope it'll be a good match.
All I can say is that my antibiotic must be working--I feel better than I have in days. Much more like my crazy hardcore organized self!

Barb, can you believe that it's actually the frosting that calls for an entire cup of malt powder? These cookies are chock full o'malt!
SO glad you're feeling better. And I'm gonna have to try that recipe.
