Too happy to be upset...too upset to be happy

I am looking at this at the last little joke in this process, but I really need to get the call soon. As great as all of these rumors we keep hearing are, until the phone rings they are starting to just get me too anxious. First we hear that matching started over a week ago, which seems to be the case. Then, last Sunday night, we hear that matching is complete and some agencies are saying there could be calls by Tuesday. No news on Monday and Tuesday and then we start to hear that Europe and Australia who ALWAYS get their referrals first have not reported anything. Then we start getting reports that the referrals ARE done and on the way and there is even a report of at least one agency telling their people that they have arrived and to expect a call any day. Then that does not seem to be the case since nobody reported any actual calls. Every rumor seems to agree that referrals are most likely complete and COULD be in the air, but still not a single report of an actual call being made and now people speculate that the calls could be held up by the Chinese "Tomb Sweeping" holiday and we will all be called on Monday. If the referrals are complete and in the mail then why would this holiday delay anything. If it is delaying them, then that would mean they have not been mailed yet, which would actually mean we do not get called until several days later. If the last three years have taught us anything, it is that we need to be patient and that Murphy's Law seems to have numerous clauses concerning the adoption process, but COME ON...we deserve a call already. At a minimum, our agency could send out an email to lower our expectations or something because they have to know there are sixteen families freaking our right now. Even if they have no news at all they could reach out to us with SOMETHING!!
In any case, we know it is only a matter of days, but these last few days seems almost harder than the last three years+ have been. Please everyone...pray for them to finally end our misery and give us the call we have been waiting for...the call that finally tells us some details about our little Gigi. It is any day, but can't that day be today?
