Yummy X 2

by ⋅ 4 Comments

First, thank you all for your comments and emails! We are not giving up hope.  But we are frustrated. The next step for us will be to learn when the court date is set and pray. Otherwise we are as prepared as we can be. So, there probably won’t be any news for awhile…but please don’t forget to pray for us. Waiting can be the hardest part! And, of course, this is brining all my loss issues up and I am dealing with those the only way I know how – prayer.

Second, look what showed up on my doorstep this morning! Two of my favorite things – yarn and chocolate!! 😀

And, it was delivered by my knitting friend T and her adorable son A! Do you remember I asked for you to pray for her? She is due any day and had shingles? Well, she reported the shingles are gone! YEAH!! I think she will be at Knit Night tonight – as it may very well be her last one for awhile – so I’m going to try to be there too! (Boy Scouts is wrecking havoc on MY plans!)

What would I do without you all?! I hope I never find out!

Prayer Request

I finally got to talk to the OR caseworker today. It seems the “tummy mom” is in the hospital and has decided that she wants to get clean and be a parent. thud That was my heart.

This has never happened before…she’s never tried. How do I tell the boys? Do I tell the boys? Why wouldn’t she try for them but she’ll try for her? I’m sure it will do no good to tell them what is happening.

Today they are visiting her again to see if they can get her in rehab and give her the list of things she’ll need to accomplish. The casework told me they will continue to work to reunification AND termination at the same time. If, when the termination hearing is held she has made adequate progress, the judge will probably decide to give her more time.

Wow. What a way to start the week…..

Accents — or not

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.

Video Friday – 80s music

by ⋅ 2 Comments

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!
