The Vampire...

Yeah, no worries, I am not much into vampires and all, but that's what I call the peeps that take your blood, and I know there another name for them, but I can't think of it at the top of my head.  I am going to blame lack of sleep and the fact that I had my blood taken that I can't remember the right name!  ;)

Anyways...

Last nite the kiddos and I went up to Manassas to celebrate Curt's birthday with him since he wasn't home.  We spent the nite at the hotel with him and then the kids and I left at 7:30 this morning to make it in time for the girls 10 am yearly check up.  I almost cancelled it, but I decided to keep it.  We got to the doc office at 9:35, walked in and actually got in and out by 10:40, that's a HUGE shock right there!  ;)  We left there and then I drove over to the vampires.  Got there right around 11:00, got the paperwork done and started at 11:10, had to pee in a cup then she did a breath test, then she took 5 tubes of blood, had to drink a wonderful sugary drink.  Ok ladies who have had a baby, you know that sugary drink you need to take, yah, it was a bit more sugary than that, and it coated my throat!  She said I needed to drink it in one sip without stopping and try not to take a breath.  Oh and drink through the straw.  I am like ok...  I drank it, lovely, had a hard time afterwards, since it was sticking to my throat I felt like I couldn't swallow or breathe, so I was telling myself to breathe slowly through my nose.  So after a few slow breathes, I was ok.  So I had to sit there for another 15 minutes so I could do another breath test.  Left there at 11:35, and ran into Giants to get the ice cream so I could make Curt's ice cream cake, which is already a day late.  :\

Got home and fed the kids some lunch, they did a little bit of the upkeep that I needed to work on  ;), then put them down for a nap.  I did some laundry and found something to eat for lunch, seeings how I hadn't eaten anything since 8 the nite before, and it was already 1...  I only had 2 glasses of water when we got home.

It's been a busy day of trying to work on my upkeep of my house...  the upstairs is almost as clean as, well, as clean as it will ever be most likely!  haha!  ;)

Tomorrow Curt is going to go get his blood taken, then he will come back home.  We are watching Audrey tomorrow as well, so once she gets here, we will leave to go to, get this, the HEALTH DEPARTMENT, (I think God has a mjor sense of humor!!!  ;)) to get our TB test done.  Then we will have our first in home home study visit.  Our orientation at the AWAA home office was considered our 1st visit.  :)

So after I wrote the last blog about the water guy, I got to looking at his card.  After he left he handed me his card, but I didn't look at it beacsue I had 3 ltitle ones trying to ask me a question about their school work they were doing.  So I just put it on the piano and left it.  I forgot about it and then like I said, after I wrote the last blog, I went to go look at his card.  It said he is from the Health Department, soooo, that would explain the "you need to work on the upkeep of your house" comment!  It still took me off guard, but oh well.  ;)

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...

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to ke...
