Nada, Nothing, Zip, Zero-
I realize it has only been a week so..... I just wish my SW would send me an e-mail or a quick call to let me know that she had submitted our homestudy for the children we were interested in... something. She DID call me back and tell me that the people decided to take the other two children that she called me about.
The Family and I went to our orientation for our exchange student last night. My DH decided it would be cool to do that again and we will have a young lady from Japan for a month. There is a family that signed up that won't be here for the first 4 days and my DH volunteered us to host that girl also.
So... you wanna count? I have three children, will have two exchange students, two adults, half the neighborhood kids and a possible placement SOMEDAY, hopefully before the end of the summer. A house full of love, bursting at the seams.
The new neighbors moved in next door. I am so happy. They are awesome. They have a GIRL!!! An oasis in this sea of testosterone neighborhood for my daughter. Just one year older and she is just the sweetest thing. Total tomboy just like Sis. Though they were in the bedroom "styling" hair for an hour.
Thought that it'd be cool for the girls to do this:

Mothering allies MomsRising are launching an illuminating new test project, and are seeking participants. The idea is to sell traditional lemonade stand and/or bake sale items using a price list that reflects real-world wage differences: single moms would pay only 60 cents per item, moms would pay 73 cents, women without children would pay 90 cents, and men would pay $1.00. This cost structure is a great conversation starter, as well as tangible way to spread the word about the actual wage gap affecting women and mothers.
This was from the Mothering Magazine E-mail I get every week.

I enjoy it quite a bit. They also have a very interesting forum with topics such as:

That's a whole lotta chillins in your house!!
Sounds like fun. I come from the mind set the more of them they are, the more they amuse one another and leave you alone (0:
It warms my heart to read "A house full of love, bursting at the seams." You are leading an ideal life, my friend - love bursting is what it's all about...
Girl, I want to move to your house, too! I LOVE Mothering magazine. I was an ardent reader when the girls were babies...and I just gave most of my back issues (there were a few I couldn't part with) to a friend who is due to give birth any day now. I always read it with an open and skeptical mind, but I absolutely love its vibe. I just might have to get another subscription!!
