The longest 2ww of my life I think...

Well- today was supposed to be the big day for us.  Yesterday we received a call from our caseworker that said that she FINALLY talked to the other caseworker.  So it only took 3 days for them to connect- arrggghhhh.  Remember, we accepted the kids on Monday and Thursday morning was the first time they actually talked.  I can see playing phone tag with one another for one day- but 3???  Anyways.... apparently because the kids are moving from one out of home placement to another a special "change of placement" must be filed with the courts, giving the mom 10 days to contest the placement of the kids in our home.  Apparently she is NOT happy that they will be coming to our house, which is almost an hour from the county she lives in.  Notice I can't say an hour from her house- because she has nowhere to live.  Anyways- she has 10 days to contest the placement, but if she contests it, the only way it matters is if she offers up a different family member's name where the kids can go instead.  Now- again- she has had over 3 weeks to do this and hasn't- but let's give her 10 more days!?!?!  I don't get it- but I guess it is just part of the frustration with dealing with government agencies.  Our caseworker didn't know about this wait period (how, I don't know) and had the other caseworker filed the paperwork on MONDAY- we would be getting the kids sooner.  The good thing is, we get to do a preplacement visit next week to meet the kids.  We also have a big weekend planned, that may have been a little overwhelming to the kids- GOD has a plan.  I actually took the news pretty well because our caseworker at least had more information about the kids for us.  Apparently little Hannah who JUST turned 2 is going on 6!  Almost completely potty trained, talks in full sentences, and likes to dress herself.  She is very advanced they said for her age.  Also found out that if we do indeed get the kids we will have them until December at least- as the dad doesn't get out of jail until then and they won't reunify the kids with mom until they know that she isn't taking dad back because they don't want to have to take the kids away again.  Learned a little more about the situation that leads me to believe that the kids are definitely worth waiting for because there is a decent chance that mom will not get her act together.
And so we wait... last night went faster and easier than we thought because our dog Molly got terribly sick.  We almost slept in the garage because we weren't sure if she would make it through the night and put our baby monitor out by her.  I know that God really does have a plan because I am not sure what today will bring and if I have to take her into the vet.  She was doing better this morning and actually ate - so praying that our fur "baby" gets better and is okay.
