I'm so glad you were there for him

We've all been there, and for a little person it is SO important to hear from someone "other than Mom" that you did a good job.

Hi ya Wannabefree, i'm new here and justed wanted to say i really enjoy following your post took a few days to read all of it lol, may God keep blessing you and your family

hey! welcome to our group! You read the WHOLE thing? well..do ya think I'm bipolar already? My life is a roller coaster. I read backward on things I had posted a few weeks ago and thought...WOW, I may really be a genuine NUT Nevertheless, if you're still here I may not be as crazy as I feel some days, so enjoy Good to have ya around!

I just made the bestest chicken salad EVER! One large chicken breast fed the three of us, so not to bad on frugality either. I just need to remember how I did the chicken, because i added a few ingredients this time and it turned out terrific! DH and DD gave rave reviews

Church was awesome, the kids did a little program this morning. this one little boy was nearly crying when he got up there. I have no idea what was wrong with him. Then he went to say his part and it was cute how he said it, and a few people laughed, not AT him, but by the look on his sweet little face that is what he thought. Bless his heart He toughed it out for his next part, and they laughed again, and again, you could see his whole demeanor change. He looked so brokenhearted. I saw a tear roll down, and it was all he could do, he jumped off the stage, and ran, arms out, into his mommas lap and held on for dear life and just let it flow. I went and got him some tissue, crossed the church to his seat, handed him the tissue, and the last of my orange Tic Tacs, and told him he did a great job, and i was SO impressed, he was the only one I was giving a prize to. After a few minutes I saw him sharing his "prize" with his baby brother and smiling, all dried up, and happy again. I've been there. I know that feeling. If we could all just remember whose arms we can run to for comfort, and that friends are always there to pick us up when we're down, that combination can get us through anything! The whole scene was just incredibly sweet. That kid knew who would comfort him without a bit of doubt. Mommas arms are our comfort in this life, but I have a Father who is always willing to wrap His arms around me too. It doesn't matter why I'm down to begin with, or what puts me over the edge. He is always there, and I am always thankful for the comfort that His love brings to me. There was no sermon from the pastor this morning, but for those who paid attention, there was a sermon of love going on between a parent and their child, and it was beautiful

Haha, no i dont think your bipolar and yes i read the whole post, its great!!! We have a DD that is 15 and total drama queen, according to her the move is the end of the world as she knows it and the chicken salad sounds so yummy!!

Us fostering is the end of DD14's world. I told her the other day "YES!!! We are doing this JUST to make you mad, because the WHOLE world revolves around YOU!!! As a matter of fact, I breathe JUST to make you angry and give you something to complain about." She walked off....mad of course

Have you had a good day WBF?

Pretty good Jamester! How about you?

we had to go to the next county over today and take care of some business. I looked for some chests while we wwere there but couldn't find anything reasonably priced. I have checked Freecycle and Craigslist as well, btu still nothing. I posted on our local freecycle, maybe I'll get a few leads we got the carbon monoxide detector today. I got it installed. I got the medicine cabinet cleaned out and all the meds put into a lock box. I got a lockable gun box and have them locked away, and the ammo in another box locked up. I also have the cleaning supplies to lock up, and I think I am just going to get a lock for my cabinet for those.

I talked to our case worker today, and have to get DH's Dr. to give him a release saying he is capable of taking care of the kids. Considering all the crap, I dunno how difficult that is going to be. DH helped me today and we got a lot finished up thankfully. We just have to work on tying up all the loose ends and get this ball rolling. Our case worker did say we can wait until after the holidays to get the kiddos, so that will be a good option if we need to do that. January would sure be a whole lot easier than November or December. I guess it depends on how everything else goes between now and then and if we can get everything done around the holidays. Our local workers are overloaded as is though. So we may not have the option of speeding up the process anyway. Either way, God's will be done. It'll be when it is meant to be.

Tomorrow i have to get grocery shopping done! we are running out of a few things I have sporadically shopped for the ast few months and just got what was absolutely necessary except for a couple trips I got a few stock up items. I have to get a handle on a few things though. DD has started eating alot again, so we're actually running out of things quicker. I also need to work a bit more on the rooms, and see if I can go down to MS and find a few chests for the boys, maybe at the Goodwill We'll see.

I hope everyone else had a great day! It was nice spending a bit more time than average with the hubster we're a darn good team!!

Thanks! We were able to get lots down Saturday though, killed and processed 8 meaties (I was outside killing and skining, the Mom and Gran were taking care of removing the meat, cleaning and washing it, and freezer prep), then me and Gran planted our new Blackberry patch, then I mulched the onions. Then today gran planted the 4 new apple trees, then I have a rabbit getting bred now for meaties. It just busy times here!

 

[Wannabefree]

LOL yeah busy here too little bro. I need to slaughter some meaties soon. I want to get rid of a few ducks and a few roos...just can't decide on the roos though. I like all but one of them, but really need to dispatch two :/ Still thinking on it. I know which drakes to get rid of. May have a goat kid or two....or three to get rid of in about 6 months too. I want to try goat meat, but am almost hoping they're all does.
