| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you’re a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. |

I’ve decided that Fridays – which are crazy busy days for us – are going to be Video Fridays! If I find a treasure or something silly or nostalgic – I’ll post it on a Friday!
Today, it’s 80s music!! When I feel old ;-), I like to listen to the 80s channel on my satellite! It doesn’t take long before I’m dancing along! Here are some of my favs — if you click on the links, you can listen/watch along. But be warned – not everything on YouTube is acceptable for all ages – so be careful!
“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”:
- Dire Straits – Money For Nothing (Music Video)
- Police – Every Breath you take
- Pat Benetar – Love is a Battlefield
- Dexy’s Midnight Runner – Come On Eileen
- The Cars – Drive
- Loverboy – Turn Me Loose
- Men at Work – Land Down Under
- Tears For Fears – Shout

I’m in a funk. Talking about Joshua seems to be the theme today. 🙁 I do ok except when I slow down and peek open the box. This box is a bit like Pandora’s. If I open it too wide I imagine that I will be overwhelmed with all the emotions, grief and pain I keep inside it. However, it must be pointed out that I’m willing to look into it more and more now. I am even realizing there are some good memories in there. But I must NOT wallow in there because there are children out here who need me to function!
Also, I’m in a funk because the OR caseworker seems to have taken a sick day and the foster mom, while giving me some day-to-day information on Princess’ care, said that she doesn’t think we’ll be able to get her for another 60-90 days!!!!?!!! Part of me calmly says “Now, Amy, don’t freak out. Remember that they just went to talk to the DA yesterday to see what they can do to expedite the placement. No one knows what was discussed or decided yet. This is just based on her experience.” And another part of me is … well, freaking out!
And, the meds that stopped the draining have now given me a headache. And, I’m whining. And, irritating myself! So, I’m shutting up now!

We were finishing up devotions when J2 asked when Princess’ birthday was – I told him and that lead to figuring out everyone’s birthday in our family. As we counted up the people we counted to seven: Dad, Mom, J1, J2, J3, Joshua and Princess. As J2 left the room he said “but in real life that is 6.” J1 looked at me and quietly said, “I’m forgetting Joshua’s laugh.” Me too, baby. Me too. 🙁

I just got the call that we are good to go (well, minus one little signature that we can’t get until Monday) for California!!!!! The caseworker in California will be calling Oregon today to let them know.
But, of course, me being super-eager me 😉 —- I already called! lol Unfortunately she’s not in the office yet. So, I’m waiting!! Can’t wait to tell her and find out what she learned in her appointments yesterday!
So, Mission: Pink Sheets is more important than ever! (who am I kidding – I just need to channel this nervous energy)
And, Momma, don’t worry – I’m ok – sleepy but ok!
