This is just how it goes

The call that was supposed to come today to determine whether or not our big life changing placement was going to happen...never came. Just...didn't happen. Not sure why, not sure what it means. I sent a text to our cw just after noon asking if she knew what was up or when the call might come, but she didn't. She did say she would call the placement line, but then she never got back to me. Now she isn't answering her phone either. I could sit and contemplate all the things the lack of phone call could mean (they found family/another placement, caseworker is busy with another emergency, they don't feel we are a good "fit", etc.), but honestly that won't do much good. This is just how the system works sometimes. Chances are I will get a surprise call after hours or sometime tomorrow asking if we are still interested...or they will wait days to call and tell me they don't need us. *sigh* The joys of a system that fails to appreciate how hard it is to just NOT KNOW. Anything. I don't really need to make plans for the next week or so, right?
