Well the count down is on..Monday we are going to court to attempt to win a permanent order on our 9 yr old foster son (lance) so than we can get the ball rolling with adoption of him and his sister aurora. Aurora is all ready a permanent ward so we don't have to worry about her. The dept. lawyer said that we have nothing to worry about cause we have so much evidence against the parents, and we have about 20 witnesses that are testifying. The worst that could happen is that we don't get ther permanent order and Lance stays at a long term status. If this happens we are continuing on with the adoption of aurora, still stay foster parents with lance, and Josh. I was informed that if Lance stays a long term status, than we will be approved to change his name to our last name, so than he has a sense of belonging with us. I'm glad that the dept. would be willing to do that for us.
What i'm very concerned about is my anxiety level during court cause we are being called to testify. I will be taking a pill with me or take it before i go, but needless to say i just hope all to hell that it works and i can stay calm..
I guess that's enough rambling, i'm just looking to see if anyone else has any suggestions as to what we could do to help me stay calm...Please if you pray, could you pray for us on Monday while we are there...Thanks a lot!!!!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
