The Rundown

Well, life has been throwing us some curve balls lately. I will start off with the adoption.... Because of me, our process is being held up. When I was 18, I got into a touch of trouble, and now 7 & 1/2 years later, I am paying for it. This blemish on my record is forcing me into a drug evaluation, 3 additional character references, and recently I had the privilege of telling my pastor all about my "past life." This really isn't a huge deal, we will get through it, and have another child on the other side. However, it truly brings to light my elders telling me that what we do as young foolish teens often comes back to bite us in the butt. This is a classic example of that. Children, don't do drugs, you may want to adopt a child one day...

Last week, all three of us were sick. First Tim got it, and then Jairus came into the flu puking all over our couch. You see the shows of America's Dirty Jobs. Motherhood is definitely one of those. I have never cleaned someone else's vomit before. That is so gross. Just as I got over the flu on Thrusday, Friday came, bringing my dentist appointment with it. It was suppossed to be just two cavities filled. Well, surprise for me, I got a root canal. I came home from it, and Tim left shortly after for the church's men's retreat. Yesterday and today have been difficult to get through alone. Tim is home now, so I am getting a bit of a break.

Our friends and family are in need of prayer. Many have lost jobs and others are in fear of the same fate. Lord, please give my friends and family Divine Intervention, and blessing.

I don't care if he does. If it makes Tim go flush, it makes my day.
