Home Sweet Home

Well, the kids and I made it home okay!! It took us 9 hours (which is normal) but we stopped about 7 times (that's NOT normal)!!! I FLEW home!! (don't let the grandparents know how fast I was going!! ;o) )
Before we left the Cecil's, I packed a lunch for us so we could stop at a rest stop so the kids could run, instead of just more sitting. We didn't even make it to 80 before we had to stop! We stopped at the Albanese Confectionery (candy store) off of 30, let them eat their lunch, then inside to pick out some candy. So they picked out some gummy bears, then I got my banana flavored gummy bears. ;o) We were on the road for about 30 minutes before Dakotah said she didn't feel so good, so I threw a plastic bag at her. She said she "didn't need to puke", but I said take it just incase. (She threw up on the way to our fam reunion in PA, more about that to come later...) Not even 2 minutes passed and she TOTALLY missed the bag! So I pulled over in a parking lot to clean her up, how fun is that! Gavin had fallen asleep a while ago, and thankfully he slept through it all! All in all, we survived the trip with out Curt, now I am not saying that I want to make that trip again alone, but it wasn't that bad. Well, it could've been MUCH worse! The kids actually got along ok, only a couple of fights, nothing to bad!!! Got home and called the grandparents to tell them I made it home, and when they found that out, you could just hear the relief in their voices! And then they asked when we were coming back to visit! :O) Now I think I am going to go to bed! I need to put Kotah's car seat cover in the dryer, then getting some sleep! GOOD-NITE!!!
P.S.
I apologize if this post doesn't make a lot of sense, you have to remember that I have been gone from home for 16 days and traveling more than half of those days!!! AND I traveled ALONE with 3 kids for 9 hours....
Also, if you EVER pass the candy store that I mentioned, you MUST go in!! Their candy and chocolate is soooooo good!!!!!! The gummy bears are FRESH!!!!!! Skylar can eat them and she doesn't even have any teeth!! :O) What I mean is they melt in your mouth! They are not chewy or hard, just perfect! ;o)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
