A time for clichés and clichés about time....

Let's see, how many wonderful time references have I heard in the past two weeks?





"Good things come to those who wait." Funny, I have also heard of people getting good things quickly as well.





"When the time is right" I guess this person clearly does not wear a watch.





"Just take it one day at a time." That line may have worked as a lyric in a gospel song but that method ain't workin' for me no longer!!





You may be wondering the reason for my sudden rants about clichés and time. Take a look at this...

If you don't know what this means I can tell you. I can tell you that until a couple days ago I thought I would be going to China this summer. I can tell you that I started feeling like there was a glimmer of hope left. I can tell you that I started getting excited about finally getting our daughter. I can also tell you that the glimmer of hope has started moving away faster in the opposite direction and now I think it was just a sunspot or something. The CCAA was only able to get through two days of referrals. Apparently they matched the same number of children as they have been matching for the past little while meaning Oct 25 & 26 were huge. Of course, your gut reaction after 16 months and two weeks of waiting(this calculation does not include the actual paperchasing before submitting a file to China) is not to look at this logically but to silently (or not so silently) freak out and write bitter posts about stupid clichés people have said when they find out you are still waiting. Hey, at least I didn't freak out on them...yet.

TWO DAYS!!! I couldn't believe it when I read on RQ. That was a blow! I cannot imagine how those people must feel with log in dates of Oct 27, 28, 29 and even into early November. I just can't imagine.

On a positive note, I found a time cliché that I can live with... "There's no time like the present"

And on that note I will go and make some tea, stare at the delicious chocolate (and by 'stare', I mean 'eat') brought from Europe by my in-laws and remain bitter for a few more days.
