Ya know, this whole adoption thing will really make you think! I was getting my littles settled in tonight and snuggying and just laying there in the dark thinking about stuff....and some of the things that crossed my mind: 1. How offended would my adoptive kids be by me running around in my nightshirts with no bra? (my stepdaughters would kindly sum this up with "eww, ur gross".) 2. I wonder if they are living in foster homes where 3. I wonder if our dogs would bite them? 4. What if they think I am mean? 5. What if they have some horrible habit, like wiping boogers on the wall by their bed? 6. I wonder if they will be nervous? Because I am a bit nervous. Not quite the same as "emergency fostering", cause for the most part, you know the ideal goal is to get the foster kids back home with biological parents. These particular kids I am looking at, all their legal ties have been severed with biological family. 7. Oh my goodness, what if??? we get all the ones we are interested in? Lol...we will have to use half this 14 acres for a parking lot!!!! So....there are a few of the random thoughts that were floating thru my head while I watched night-light patterns on the wall. On a completely different subject, I finally found a myspace layout that I really really like. It has butterflies on it and is just really pretty. Now if I can just get my avatars and blingys and icons, etc all lined up the way I want them, I will be a happy camper. This is only like, the 15th time I have changed layouts in a month. But none of them were making me feel like it screamed me! Tomorrow is Preparation Day. We have a pretty busy day planned too. Lots of cleaning around here, getting church clothes ironed, etc and laid out, cleaning out the van, grocery shopping, library, etc. At church on Saturday, we are having potluck. So I need to get all my stuff ready for that tomorrow. Lol...it is gonna be like a big reunion, it has been so long since we all went to church. I talked to our pastor today and he said we are just gonna get together and celebrate and praise God - it will be a great worship and fellowship! Ya know, I think he's right! *~*~Blessings*~*~*~ PS....I almost forgot....TTC means Trying To Conceive. :) Holy cow - 500K's here would practically buy you a mansion. This house is about 12 years old, was roughly 75k built new, the 14 acres about 7k and it has appreciated to MAYBE 125K. 3BR, 2.5 bath, 3000sq ft.......so I am in sticker shock every time I look anywhere else!!! Thx for the prayers - for sure, we always need LOTS....lol...seriously, this (both the house finding and filling....loll...I like that!) is an undertaking we definitely need God's guidance in, so again thx. Oh and in my opinion, the more kids you have, the easier it is to run a home. The most we had at one time was 10 and it was simply easier. Right now we have four at home and it is harder than ever. I would die if we only had one or two. |
