WE AQUIRED A MIMI-MON!!

Or in normal human speak, the people in court finally said 'We're really sick of this case, please, just give the kid to that possibly crazy family that really seems to want her.' We will soon be the proud(?) parents of a crazy ten-year-old little girl!! YAY!!
In ironic news, I received my psychological evaluation today, and the Doctor found nothing wrong with my responses or my history to prevent me from raising the Mimi. She said I showed a history of seeking help when I felt I needed it, and that was the important part. She also said that if anyone were suited and qualified to raise this littlin, it would be me! Then we proceeded to talk shop (or rather, talk about what services could assist us in raising our little hellion) for 40 minutes to an hour.
When I left her, I felt really relieved and really celebratory, so when I picked Hubby up from work, I wanted deep dish pizza (Jet's Pizza, you should try it. Seriously.). We got ourselves a nice sized meal, shared a soda (that I wasn't interested in), and went to Costco. While shopping at Costco my Mom called, tickled pink, and told us they gave the hellion to us.
We checked out of the store, and on the way home, I cried because I was so happy, so relieved, and..... I don't know, I felt released. Like, finally, we can really prepare because we know what's going to happen. I'm so very happy and nervous and worried and relieved and it's all jumbled inside of me, but I wouldn't have it any other way. So yay, we're gonna be parents!!

On a completely different note, I went to store called 'My fit foods' today. A worker showed me around and it's essentially like a quick shop convenience meal store that only carries foods that are good for you. It has different labels and it counts the calories for you, and separates 'typical male portion' from 'typical female portion' (which they don't force you to buy, but it's a great option) as well as snacks and other things like healthy drinks. The prices are NOT cheap, but they're also NOT expensive. It ranges from about $5-14 dollars per meal. The more expensive meal also has more food, so the prices make sense. Even if we don't eat there often, their meal plans/ideas are good fodder for my own meal ideas.
While I was there, I mentioned that I work right down the road as a massage therapist, and they asked if we had any cards we could put up on their community board for healthy lifestyles. I only had one on me, so I went to my job and picked up a few things to post on the board before I went to my psych eval.

I think tomorrow I will be getting a phone call from the social worker and we'll start ironing out the details of when to expect our little one, as well as what I need to know to prepare her personal medical health team.
After that, Hubby has an interview, and I will be getting a pedicure SOME TIME that day, if not Friday morning. Then I'm dropping off some black bean brownies (that are awesome, even if I used a bit too much salt) to a friend before going to tutor my coworker in Japanese again.

I think Hubby and I might go see a movie as well. Kind of a relaxed date, you know? Oops! Pineapples just got home and we're gonna skype now, so I'll go. That's pretty much all the good news anyway! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!! From this point onward, we will forever be parents! So scary, and so exciting!
