• Good morning!  After 3 days of never ending rain.  We can see the sun

  
  

  Well the caseworker came and went yesterday.  And all "my" side of the paperwork is done.  My character references need to get there stuff in.  And the criminal background check has the clear the state--which could take a LONG while.  So we continue to pray for that to happen quickly.  After that happens then we just need the interstate compact (getting permission for the child to change states)  and then James came be placed with us. 

  
  

  That's one baby lol.  The other one is currently making me nauseous.  I even had to turn the computer off last night and stare at the tv.  I just felt too icky sitting upright.  Not throwing up...just feel lousy.  Oh well...this too shall pass.

  
  

  My kids and I got VERY housebound over the last 3 days.  We were all ready to pull hair out by the end of the last day.  I'm soooooooo glad they should be able to play outside today. 

  
  

  I have to do my bimonthly grocery shopping trip today.  So that should be entertaining.  I think I will take Kaylin and leave the big kids home.  This way it will be a semi-break. 

  
  

  Rob will continue to work on the lean-to.  See if he can get the rest of the broken up wood outside.  And the dirt away from the outside of the building.  The big kids can just play outside while he does this.  They love to use their swing-set, and ride their big-wheels all over the place. 

  
  

  Only they don't ride their big-wheels the way they should lol.  We have this really big hill.  And they climb up it carrying their "bikes" and then stand on the seat of the "bike" and ride it down the hill like their skate boarding.  For being 3 & 4 they have incredibly good balance.  And this is a BIG hill....and man do they get flying.  We LOOOVE that hill.  Because it makes them tirrrrrrrrrrrrrrred (lol )

  
  

  Well, have a good day today.  I'm sure I'll be back again.  Can't stay away too long.

  
  

  Father, God.  Thank you for your love for me in your life.  Thank you for the incredible peace I've had this week.  Which could have been incredible anxiety.  Please enable me to speak kindly to Rob.  And to enjoy him today.  Let me touch peoples lives the way you would have them.  And let the kids enjoy one another and not spat.  In your son's name,  Amen
