Rich doesn't think he can take off work again until mid april for our return trip to bring Ari home...remember, we had our SDA appt. on January 26th! This is crazy to me.
I have been watching videos of him today and I feel a little sick about the whole thing. It's SO hard not to dwell on it. It's consuming. I'm tired of life being on hold. I'm tired of missing him and wondering what he is thinking.
And I am VERY aware that he is not ours yet...anything could happen.
It's tough.
some days you want pecans, some days you want walnuts...and some days you just get stuck with peanuts.
Could you return back without hubby? Is the return date something you can change or is it a fixed date from Ari's country? Just curious!
ReplyDeleteRich needs to be there for court. I want to go back w/o him, because at least then I could visit Artiom every day, but he isn't thrilled with that, and then there's the child care issues here with me being gone that long... At this point, we can choose our court date, once they resume, that is. At least that's what I'm told.

I hope court resumes next week and you can find a date that works soon...I know this is so hard. There is a slim chance that we may be in Zap together. Wouldn't that be great :)?
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll be able to look back on this time as just a "blip" when he's been home for awhile...however, I know how your mama's heart must be hurting to be with your son so far away. Still praying for the timing to all work out soon!!!

Thanks guys. I was in a bad mood today, and it helps to know at least a COUPLE of people care what's going in my world! :)

If you did go over there now at least there would be other families over there to hang out with. And then when you have a court date Rich could just fly over for that and then go home for work while you stay to finish up. Again there should be other families there. And one of your older kids could go with you if Rich didnt want you to go by yourself. And Roc said she could come babysit your little ones and get her homework once a week. (shes funny isnt she???) Or Roc even said she would fly over there with you and just wait for us to get there! (shes REALLY funny but oh so serious!)
ReplyDeleteI would want to be there with him too so I know how you feel! Who even knows though if the courts are going to be opening next week? What a mess! Hang in there and hopefully Nancy can let Ari know whats going on!
Oh Jodi, I KNOW how hard this is!!! I am so sorry. I have nested till there is nothing left... of me, or to do. I had an amazing up and productive 5 days, and now today I hit bottom. So many kids coming home, but not mine. I am so happy for everyone... but boy am I having a hard time of it. Yanas 7th b-day is Sat. I was so sure she would be home by now...
ReplyDeletePraying you return very quickly and bring him home!
Oh Jodi, I am so sorry you have to go through this...we have been at this for a year, I understand your heartache. We are all about to make Yulia, Serge and marina VERY busy over there! Won't it be great for all of us to bring our kids home together?!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I am praying for you Jodi! I know I haven't said much lately...I do know anything can happen :(. Anyway, I just want you to know I'm here praying for you and your sweet little one.
