Packet arrived

Our fingerprints and VA CPS forms arrived yesterday.  They are going back in the mail today to their necessary places to get us approved.  In the email, our social worker said once they get these back we will be approved!!!  This put a huge smile on my face.  How exciting.  Now just waiting, just to get officially waiting...lol. 
Hubs has been working really late this week.  I'm glad tomorrow is Friday.  I ran over to the library today to see about checking out some adoption related books.  They seem to be the only books I ever finish.  They had Chosen, so I grabbed it.  I also rented Dexter season 1.  For some reason we can't find it on AFN any more, so the next best thing is to watch an old one :).
Little monkey boy went to the doggie dentist today and had 6 teeth extracted...poor boy.  He's just lounging around, but that's not out of the ordinary for him, he's just drowsy and has the look of pain in his eyes.  He has to take it easy for the next week, so hubs and him can't play rough like they enjoy doing every evening before bed.
I'm looking into getting a job.  I'm not sure i want one because I'm not sure it's the best idea yet.  If I get a GS job, which is a government job, I won't be able to take much time off if the baby would get sick and couldn't go to daycare.  So, that leaves hubby...but I can't see him taking time off work to take care of the baby.  So, I'm lost at what to do.  Do I take a leap of faith and believe that hubby will take the time off if he needed to, or do I continue to stay home.  Another reason I'm having a hard time deciding if I should get a job is because I don't need it for the money, it would just be to get me out of the house.  We have an idea that if I get a job, we could pay cash for our new vehicles when we leave here in 2.5 years.  Now, I'm all for that, but then I'd be losing out on precious time with my child...for what...to pay cash on vehicles.  A vehicle is not all that serious to me, and we could save up and probably pay for one without me having a job.  I'm going to call the day care center tomorrow to see what the fees are.  This job that I apply for, I'm sure I will get it since it was my previous work experience for 9 years, I would need to apply by tomorrow 6pm.  I don't know.  I don't know.  Thanks for listening to me vent about deciding if I should get a job.  I'm going to read now.

Have a great day!
