A Funny Story

I thought that I would put this little story on our blog because I thought our family and friends would find it amusing. I am working midnights this week at work and when I come home in the mornings I turn off the ringers on all the phones so that I can get a good sleep. Two days ago I wake up and come down stairs and check the phone to see if anyone had called. I noticed that we had had a long distance phone call during the day. There was no message left. I then go over to our computer to check our e-mails. I noticed that we had an e-mail from Children's Bridge. The title was Referral Booklet. My heart started racing. I couldn't believe it. I thought that we were getting our referral. I raced to open it knowing full well that Terri and I have already agreed not to open our referral without each other being there. As the e-mail started to open I started saying out loud " I can't being doing this. " " I'm not suppose to be looking at this. " My heart has never pounded so hard in my life than it did then. I scrolled down the e-mail an noticed that  there was a-lot of Mandarin symbols and a picture of a Chinese child. As soon as I saw the picture I scrolled the e-mail back up so that I couldn't see the picture. With my heart racing and my knees getting weak I finally read the caption at the top of the message saying that this was an information booklet for when we do actually get our referral. I couldn't stop laughing. I guess our referral is always on my mind. I first thought that I had missed the referral phone call then I thought that I was actually looking at our referral on the computer. If this is how I react to a non referral I hate to imagine how I am going to be when we actually do get our referral.
