I'm not sure if that is a real word or not, but a friend used it in an email to me recently and it fits my attitude these days.
Waiting sucks.
Being told by your coordinator that I need to be ready to travel within 3 days of getting a phone call and then the same person not being able to even tell you what month you will be getting that phone call sucks.
The constantly changing process sucks.
The lack of information on the process in my region sucks.
Trying to live your life, but not being able to plan anything sucks.
Not having a vacation for 9 months since you are saving your time for the trip sucks.
Being cranky because I have not had the above vacation in 9 months sucks.
Watching Christmas get closer and closer and knowing that unless I travel soon, she will not be home for Christmas sucks.
Knowing that you are probably very close to traveling, but not knowing it for sure so you have to stress and worry about it sucks.
Suckitude-it may not be a word, but it should be!

I know exactly how you feel! That's why I'm totally out of updates and have resorted to writing about my dog. Haha!
Living in a state of limbo is hard. We were at the grocery earlier and I was wondering if we shouldn't be buying gallons (vs. half gallons) or other items that might or might not have time to be consumed (and there's absolutely no way to know)!
Hopefully we'll all hear something soon. I'll be checking back!

Julie,
I know the waiting is hard, and the not knowing is even harder. Just remember you are in the home stretch! I will be sending you positive thoughts that you will get your LOI soon!

I was just about to write my own suckitude post. Ha ha. Boo hoo. Whatever. Don't know whether to laugh or cry! Hang in there!! You are CLOSE and getting closer every day. At least we know this much!
Thanks for all the king thoughts everyone. The wait just seems to get harder the closer I get to the end.

I think Suckitude is the perfect word & should be added to the adoption dictionary.
I will be crazy or totally bankrupt from shopping if I have to wait three months to travel after region assignment.
Hang in there! Today could be the day!!!!!
Well I think you need to remember the old "Harmon" Philosophy of" If it happens it happens sooner or later" Stressful times call for inner strength reinforcement to over come the disapointment. Chin up,it's going to happen soon and what a happy time it will be with the little one finally 'Home". Regards Dad.
Hang in there! I hope that LOI comes soon . . . very soon. You will be on your way before you know it.
Scott has a similar external hard drive that he filled with movies and TV shows. It is almost always an object of fascination for folks at the security check points - particularly in Kazakhstan. I don't know if anyone ever actually understood what it was, but it got through anyway.
