Grant me patience to deal with my blessings

For Sale

Our home- I love our home very much and it was truly our dream home that when we built it we thought our grandkids would be spending the night here someday. I have learned so much about myself these last 2 years by living here.

More on this to come.

Chinese New Year Pics

We had a great afternoon and it was a pleasure to meet some new families. We did have another dinner and I forgot my camera dang!

Highest of highs to the Lowest of lows

All in the same day within an hour. I was really
feeling good this morning and then I received that
long awaited email I have been waiting for.
However, it was not at all the kind of email I wanted to open.
Please pray for us and our little one in Haiti. Please bless those
that need to get the mistake fixed that it will be figured out in the
morning. I am trying to stay positive but through the tears it
if so very hard. We have friends that could also use your prayers.
I keep telling myself this will all work out and I pray that
it does, tomorrow would be great.

80+

This is a season that I love so much. It all starts this weekend and Gage will embark on another 80+ game season. We travel alot for baseball and the family loves it. The girls love to come because there are other little sisters that also travel and so they love to stay in different hotels, swim, eat out, and just plain run like crazy. Personally I could sit and watch Gage play all day and we do. On tap this year a couple places are Vegas, Omaha for the College World Series for a second year, and a whole lot more. The baseball lamp in the picture we got 2 years ago when we traveled to New York for a chance to play in Cooperstown. Yes I brought it on the plane home. Out of 96 teams we came in 3rd our boys rocked. That same year we played in the USSSA World Series in Kansas and came in 3rd also. Fun times and memories Thank you son I love you.

So if you need me in the next few months I will be at the ball park soaking up the sun, with my cooler dishing out sandwiches and gatorade and yelling at the girls to stay close where I can see them. I wish Sael was home to come with us this weekend maybe next tournament.

Yuck this weekend where we are headed is not suppose to be very warm. Bring out the sweatshirts, handwarmers and the portable heater.

Refresh

How many times can one refresh their email in one day? I'm not sure but I think a gazillion. Please send me an email already. Yes I am waiting for an adoption related email that should be here any day, any second, should of come already type of email.

If you are the prayerful type will you please pray for all the little ones in Haiti waiting for their Moms and Dads for so long to come and get them. Please pray for files to move more smoothly and efficiently. Thank you so very much

Funny and some Truth to this

A friend sent this to me and I ran it by my husband which has found this a little helpful. *Nine words women use.

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to be quiet.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments the begin with 'nothing' usually end in 'fine'.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. DON'T DO IT!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. 'That's Okay' means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question or faint. Just say 'you're welcome.' (I want to add a clause here - this is true unless she says 'thanks a lot' - that is pure sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'. That will bring on a 'whatever')

8. Whatever: This is a woman's way of saying (insert your own thoughts).

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something a woman has asked a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' - for the woman's response refer to #3.

I used one of these already this morning lol
Run them by your significant other and see if they find them helpful.

My mind is racing

and really I don't even know where to begin. I haven't felt like blogging with so much on my mind, then I think maybe if I blog it will help with some of the things on my mind but I really don't want to and back and forth I go. sheesh get a grip girl!


So I am going to have fun with this today and finish a tag I received a while back from my friend L. However my blog has not been so fabulous lately.






You have to list 5 of your fabulous addictions in the post. Most are not fabulous or good for me and my mental well being.

• Pepsi- sadly always have been and probably always will be addicted. Heaven forbid there is not any pepsi in my house. I feel unsafe and agitated if there is none in the house. No one wants to be around me then. The only way this will ever have a chance of getting better is if they simply quit making this crap. Please don't do that. I know it's crap and not good for me, empty calories, yada yada yada. Pathetic as it is I love the first sip and all that comes with it.
• Purses and/or tots/bags- Yes I have entirely to many, who needs to many, certainly not me but I keep purchasing more. Some cheap, some um not so cheap. My husband cringes but loves me anyway. Sometimes I feel bad and sometimes I don't. I just love a great new bag any bag.
• Computer- Ugh I don't even want to comment on this right now it's embarrassing.
• Currently-the Bachelor-oh people I know but I truly get a kick out of these girls. I laugh alot. I sadly am not embarrassed by this. If you need a good laugh tune in and you will laugh to. Laughing is good for your well being right?
• Sleep- OOOHHHH I love it so. I used to be able to fuction on very little sleep but I just can't anymore or maybe its that I don't want to anymore. Which ever it is I love it. We just bought a new king bed which I love but the jury is still out on the new mattress. It might have to be going back.

so there you have it a few addictions wow when you start thinking of this stuff you find out you have alot more. Sorry I think most of you have done this tag so I will just leave it at that. I have another one to do so I will tag you then.

Thank you L this was fun

Look what came today

my very first order from Amazon. I was really excited to get my books. A few of them are books I have wanted to read for a while now so I can't wait to get reading. Some of them are about Haiti, one is for Gage he has to read it for Chinese and some are for Chloe so we can read them to her. A few I have wanted for Chinese New Year which will be here shortly. I love when the doorbell rings and I have a delivery. Sometimes I have even forgot that I ordered a specific thing. I love that surprise. What's crazy, at least to me is that I ordered 10 books in the same order, they where all in stock, they gave me one confirmation and one shipping price. Why are the coming in three different orders on three different days? Sounds like more work for them to me but whatever. My UPS guy probably thinks all I do is shop all day cause he is here so dang much. "Hey guy in the brown outfit it was really only one order. I promise." Six came today and two more shipments of two. Oh well!
