I have nothing in particular to share (I guess maybe I need to start a Random Monday thing around here, since this seems to be a recurring theme) - so a few scattered thoughts:
- Brian Regan was hillarious on Friday. I was very happy we went and not disappointed at all. His opening act, who I really was going to try and remember the name of but, sadly, did not, was also quite funny. There were many sore sides from laughing - and that is definitely a good thing.
- Traffic Friday afternoon was not hillarious. We seriously have too many people on our roads. Someone needs to invent the transporter. Immediately.
- The sofa has been purchased. They wanted to deliver it Tuesday, I finegled Saturday. Now I kinda wish I had gone with Tuesday so I had an excuse to take a day off work. Sad. Very, very sad.
- I purchased some fabric and Thanksgiving magazines, so more to come on baby item creation and meal planning when I have a chance to catch my breath.
- Didn't get nearly enough homework done this weekend. Anyone else seeing this trend? Not good. Very, very not good.
- Megabyte is at the vet all day today so they can try to determine if she has cushings, diabetes insipidus, or something else entirely. I'm just praying that it's something they can put a finger on and that it's treatable/manageable. I'm not ready to even consider her being terminally ill...she's only 8.
- I got feedback on a paper this weekend. The grade was 19/20 and the feedback was all positive (as in - "This is really good." "Excellent point." ) So, um, where'd my point go? Seriously, if you're going to dock a point, tell me why. I'm ok with the grade, but I'd really like to know why it wasn't a full credit paper.
- We also got our official application (as opposed to the preliminary application we already submitted) for Bethany - filled with fun and exciting questions. I'll share more of those as we go - for now I leave you with question #1: "Why do you want to adopt?" I'm guessing "Because we want kids." isn't the answer they're going for, but seriously...how else do you answer it?
How about Miscellaneous Monday? I'm not sure I like the idea of transporters after hearing how those things work! Well done on that grade and have fun filling out those fun and exciting questions!
ReplyDeletewell, i think you do basically say "because we want kids" ... you just do it in 500 words...
ReplyDelete"I've wanted to be a mother to a housefull of children for as long as I can remember. I often daydream about playing with my children, teaching them, taking them on trips, going to church with them, and watching in amazement as they grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. I can hardly imagine the mind-blowing experience of creating a person and helping to guide them as they develop their personality and character.
God's Word says children are a blessing, and I have prayed for that blessing almost every day of our 11 years of marriage. Children have been the desire of my heart and God promises that when we seek Him He will give us the desires of our heart. Most people think that means they can make out a material object wish list. But praying to receive the blessings that God designed for humanity (children) is much more in line with His will. While waiting on the Lord like Zechariah and Elizabeth, we have been preparing ourselves to be parents for years.
Since we know that God says children are a blessing and we have not received any specific message from God like Sara and Abram received that we should continue to wait to conceive our children, we are pursuing adoption. Just as God adopts Gentile believers as His children and heirs, so we too desire to adopt children into our family of two parents and two dogs."
