sixteen days

sixteen days.
not fourteen like I was prepared for.
sixteen and counting.
I had my mind set on a fourteen day wait since the licensing worker from the DHS sent in our final paperwork. That's the amount of time he says it typically takes. I don't think I heard the typically part, I only heard two weeks.
Two weeks ended Monday.
No license in the mail since it was a holiday - crappy timing.
No license yesterday or today either.
I finally gave in and called him to see if he'd heard anything. He was very nice and told me that two weeks is average but just to be patient and it would get here.
So we wait. The funny thing is that we are waiting for a piece of paper that essentially gives us the chance to wait some more, maybe days, maybe weeks, maybe months or longer. So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm trying to hurry up and wait. Makes me sound brilliant doesn't it?!?
Hurry up and wait - isn't that what they say the military is like? Don't remember where I heard that - maybe just made it up in my head. It's been a mess in there lately :)
Well off I go to wait some more. Keep praying for our sanity and the safety of the little one(s) that will come into our care (eventually).
