^{Jeremiah 31:17}"O Sovereign LORD! You have made the heavens and earth by your great power. Nothing is too hard for you!

Nothing is too hard for you!  Lord, you are all powerful, the Creator.  And you are in control.  I give you all my worries large and small.  Worries for the child inside me, worries for the child in Foster care.  Worries for the children upstairs in their bedroom.  You can protect them and keep them safe.  Thank you. 

I ask you to go with us today, and help us to get what needs to be done done before the caseworker comes early this morning.

It may not be much because apparently Rob has decided to sleep in.  Please, God wake him soon, and help us to get moving.  And don't let me get grumpy or stressed.  Let me be slow to speak and slow to anger.  TIA

I lift up the person I aimed with last night.  I ask Lord that you would give her the courage to seek help, the courage to make changes in her life.  She needs some big time hugs today.  Please give her those.  And let her find the strength to bring you a Sacrifice of praise.

Thank you Lord for this new day.  I love you.

The kids were sooooooo good last night, I let them stay up a bit.  They never did get whiney or fussy?  Could anybody tell me what you did with my kids? (Lol)  Of course we had two night interruptions.  But oh well, this too we shall survive. 

There are no worries of drought around here.  Its been pouring cats and dogs for 2 days.  We're gonna float away soon. Oh well makes the grass green I guess. 

The floor is totally gone from the lean-to.  And my little brothers came over and helped haul a bunch of it out.  So about an hour or more, and Rob will have the rest out, and we can begin leveling the floor in preperation for putting concrete down.  I'm so frustrated my camera isn't working.  Because you guys would be appalled at the mess we're making. LOL 

The wood floor had been sitting on dirt, and much of it crumbled when we started taking it apart.  We will be putting concrete down.  Dividers and then we will have 2 more bedrooms and a nice big laundry room.  Previously it just stored junk.  Rob got the first week of September off, so he'll be pushing forward then.  I hope we can get it done quickly.  We are gonna need that space soonest.

Struggling really hard with the decision of nursing Kaylin.  She still needs it a lot.  And I so hate to deny her.  She's gonna be the baby in this house for such a short time.  Then she's gonna be booted but good   I don't want to take this away from her, but I'm also so fearful of how its gonna effect my unborn baby.  God keeps saying trust...and I guess I'm not very trustful yet.   

Father, give me wisdom about this, and let me trust you for Kaylin's well-being. 

Good morning,  Its early for me this morning, as I'm headed to the Doctors in 15 minutes.  (A 45 minute drive)  I have to go get my thyroid tested, and a Tb test.  The thyroid test is for me the TB test is for the adoption.  Its a requirement.  *sigh*

Hopefully they have it in by now.  Dh tried to go yesterday and they were out, but work has it so he'll get it there today.   If they don't have it, I'll have to go shell money out of pocket and get it done at the Walk-in clinic.  But thats okay...I'm almost done the paperwork

I read in Jeremiah again today.  And this time it was positive.  About the promises God would give Israel after their time of trial.  And the peace and prosperity that would reign.  Haven't seen that one yet.  Can't wait until Israel is at peace.

Kaylin actually slept from 7 pm to 4:30 am without waking.  My body's in shock it actually got some sleep.  LOL  It felt soooooooo nice.  She's back in bed after some nursin' time with mommy, and hopefully she doesn't wake up too fussy cause I won't be here when she wakes.  Daddy will be

Well I'm short on time, and short on brains as its toooooo early in the morning.  So 'til later. 

Major praise, very soon after the last blog.  I just bit the bullet and told my mom.  She was awesome!  And excited for me. 

How cool is that!!!

Good morning,  Another busy day in the Signor family.  lol

Rob headed out already to go get his Adoption physical.  I will get mine tomorrow morning.  Our dr has really early office hours (6:30 am)  which is VERY nice.   So we take another step

Talked to the Adoption caseworker yesterday and my old Foster care license is still in effect.  (Just doesn't have Rob's name on it)  So as soon as up Adoption homestudy update is on the CPs caseworkers desk  she will apply for interstate compact and move him up here.  At least a month probably more.  Unless miracles can happen.  But the fact she's honoring the old one is a miracle

I haven't told any real life people about my other news.  I'm contemplating calling my mom when she wakes up this morning.  A little nervous, because I'm THRILLED about the news, but I'm not sure how she's gonna handle it.

Father God, give me peace.  Let me trust you and rely on you for the handling of my emotions.  The fear of man.  I want people to rejoice with me.  And am so afraid of what my "real" life friends are gonna say.  Please, Father give me peace.

2 Timothy 1:7.   God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and a sound mind. 

 All God gave me this verse last night.   I am excited about it.  So I cling to that, and trust in his peace, his ability to be my soothing calmness.

My breasts hurt something fierce.  And nursing Kaylin is putting me in agony.  I think I'm gonna slowly start weaning her.  Not forcefully.  Just a if she doesn't ask I'm not gonna offer.  I keep praying about it.  That being said I think I nursed all night last night.  She was soooooooo fussy.  Poor thing.  In and out in and out of that stinky old crib.  Hopefully she wakes up in a good mood this morning.  Otherwise here comes the super sling.  Its her security blanket, and that way I can get stuff done.  

I'm already doing the pregnancy tired. LOL  I was so PATHETIC.  I went on my date night with Rob last night.  And I fell asleep on him twice.  Gotta slow down, and let a few things go tee hee.    No working on the building project even if it looks like fun.  LOL  I kept wondering over there yesterday trying to help---mostly I was just a hindrance.  My job is to keep the kids out of his way.  Its the job I wanted

I'm gonna have a very short entry today.  I just have one thing to say.  1 faint pink line  1 solid pink line.  = ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Zeria's funny for the day.   Their in the tub and I'm eavesdropping. 

There's lot of buggie's in here Samuel.  Do you know why?  (I'm thinking oh daddy must have taught her how bugs are attracted to light)  The buggies are in here because they get dirty, and they know this is where they can get clean.  ROFL!

Good morning,  I snuck down without the kids for mommy time before the get ready for church rush.  I've been up since 3:45 with Kaylin.  She nursed, and squirmed, nursed and squirmed.  But would she get sleepy oh no that would be too much to ask for.    And now she's sleepy *sigh*  So she's in her crib and I'm up for the morning.

The major praise is a year ago I would have panicked about no sleep.  Even 6 months ago.  But now my body seems to be able to deal with it a better.  I think this is a extra benefit of the thyroid medication.  I mean I still get tired, but just not panicky about it KWIM?

I'm slogging through Jeremiah.  And you've probably been wondering where my Scripture is at the beginning of each blog.  I haven't been able to find a single thing positive.  I don't understand this book.  The Israelites were warned and warned about their evilness and all they did was have the messenger whipped.  And they were evil.  I don't want to depress you how evil...just trust me.  Today if a nation was caught doing what they were doing they'd be ostracized by everybody in the known world.  There would be embargo's put on them by every nation.  And quite possibly every nation would just plain destroy them.

And yet they thought their evilness was okay.  *puzzled*  I can't imagine how Jeremiah lived through that time.  Especially when his only message was gloom and doom.  He even said please curse the day I was born.  The message depressed him.  But he continued to serve.   I don't understand.  I'm not sure I have that strength.  I guess God hasn't asked me to have that kind of strength yet.

I am playing piano this morning instead of keyboard.  So have more work to do.  We have sunshine outside *gasp* what's that??  I hope it lasts....after all fall is right around the corner, and we've had hardly any.

My kids are stirring....that was the worlds shortest sleepy, guess I better go.  Enjoy your family!

OH wow that was way too much fun.  Our kids got along.  They never squabbled.  We hardly saw them all evening.  We have much in common with this family.  They have a larger family.  (5 kids)   They work at the prison.  They go to our church.  She bf'd all of her kids.  Into self-weaning etc.  

Its fun to be around somebody you can be yourself with.  Even if she is 20 years older then me lol  The kind of people you don't have to stress about cleaning for, because you know they so won't care  

And it was so cool.  (small things amuse me)  I learned she made online friends when she was nursing too.  :-d

We had a treasure hunt for the kids.  And they thought this was the greatest.  I have no pictures   Cause my the cord to my camera is non-functioning.    I'm so *#$(@  oh well.  Anyhow they ran to one clue, hopped to another, walked backwards to another, skipped to another, and hopped on one foot to another.  Kaylin tagged along way behind...not wanting to miss out on anything.  She was entirely too cute   At the end of the evening when all we're gone.  Zeria said Thank you for the game mommy.  You a good treasure game maker.  Now doesn't that just make everything worth it!!!!

Samuel actually didn't get in trouble.  Samuel's a boy.  He always hits.  Somebody always tattles on him.  He got along all evening.  I'm in SHOCK!  And very very happy.  Could it be he's growing up???

Kaylin had bday cake everywhere.  And she had soooo much fun.  They should sleep hard tonight.  They were up 2 hours past their bedtime lol...and ran the whole time the kids were here.

Oh yes the other thing in common?  Zeria's "best" friend is adopted too.  She is the first little girl that she ever "played" with instead of beside.  When they were all of 18 months old.  It seems like it was minutes ago, instead of years   Sniff, sniff. 

Oh well, I've decided she can be my baby for at least another year.  No homeschooling, just loving.  

Well its late, and we skipped baths cause it was soooo late, so I have to tackle them in the morning, as well as getting the kids ready for church etc.  Enjoy your family....they are a wonderful blessing from above!
