I must repent........

I did something yesterday (by accident of course) that I vowed that I would never ever do. I fed my 2 precious and wonderful children hot dogs and green beans!!!!!! Ok, Ok, Ok, I know that there are only a hand full of people who understand this!!!!! Sorry, I will explain!

My father is the most wonderful father in the whole wide world. He is dedicated to us and he always did everything he could to love us the way we needed to be loved, and raise us up right! However, when my parents got a divorce, there was a cooking problem. Dad didn't know how!!!!!! Soooooooo, needless to say, we had hotdogs and greenbeans ALOT. And, when I say ALOT, I mean like, every day ALOT! So, one day when he said to us, "well girls, what should we have for dinner? Hot dogs and green beans OR (oh YAY there is an or) green beans and hot dogs?" I thought I would cry!!!! I vowed that day never to eat hot dogs and green beans again and NEVER EVER feed that to my children!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha

But, alas, I did. Jaryse asked me for some hot dogs. I said sure, as I was cooking the hotdogs I thought that they should have a vegetable too. So, I reached in the cupboard and grabbed one, not realizing what I was doing until I placed the pan full of green beans on the stove next to the hot dogs. You can imagine what was going through my mind as I saw those 2 things together! LOL!



Well, the kids loved it! Ecrissa had 2 servings of both!!!!! Dad we love you and when the kids and I come home, the three of you can eat hotdogs and green beans together as much as you like!!!!!


I want to thank my Father in Heaven for giving me such a wonderful Earthly father! I am blessed. I love you Dad!!!!
OH, PS, Aunt Teri May, I promise to never feed this meal combination to your precious neice and nephew again!!!!! LOLOLOLOL

Hi CK! Hang in there. We are thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts (and to the kids too, of course). I'm glad the kids got a nice, normal kid dinner of hot dogs and green beans. You don't want them to grow up weird and unexposed to that kind of thing. ;)

I am back!!! LOL!  It's been awhile since I've done any blogging!  When I looked at the last blog entry, it was 9 days before I left for China to pick up my baby girl!  I guess things got a little to busy to keep up with blogging....to say the least.  Thinking back, I remember that last week and a half.  I was a tornado of emotions, the list of things on my "to do" list was longer than the Mackinaw Bridge and I had no idea how much my life was going to change! I have to admit, I have loved being a momma of three!  I seriously believe that I am the luckiest person in the entire world. I really do like blogging.  It's good for me.  It helps me process some of the crazy in my life.  Believe me, as a single full time working momma of three kids with some special and unique needs, things can get a little crazy around here. The thing that I have been thinking about lately is HEALTH.  I mean, it seems so simple and yet it is so complicated.  Physical health, mental h

Overwhelmed with gratitude!

Yesterday was a hard one for me!  Not the hard that has you sad and crying or feeling beat up or anything.  But, the hard was keeping my brain focused! LOL!  My brain is a hot mess people!!!  I feel like I have so many loose ends to tie up before we leave for China in 9 days....yes, I said it, 9 days!!!!!  And my brain does not stay on one topic or project or even thought long enough to complete ANYTHING!!! LOL Insomnia is my close friend when I get like this!  I will fall asleep as soon as I get into bed, into a deep beautiful sleep....for 2 hours. Then: BOOM! Wide awake! Wide awake with a brain that runs in circles! LOL!!!! So, I blog! hahaha!  It's about 4:30 in the morning and as I sit here at my computer, I hear the wind and the rain outside. It's cold!  It's Michigan and it's the week of Halloween, of course it's going to be cold! But, I sit here and I listen to the sounds of outside and then I listen to the sounds of inside. Inside my home, I hear the sof

Processing adoption!

Image
Processing adoption has been a huge focus at our house lately!  Not paper processing....emotional cognitive processing of adoption.  It is amazing! Amazingly hard, amazingly beautiful, amazingly confusing, amazingly enlightening, amazingly hurtful, amazingly joyful, amazingly bonding, amazingly tearful, amazingly exhausting and amazingly energizing.  And amazingly much more than that!!!! :) I was never one that could talk about my feelings very well.  This is not a good weakness to have when you are an adoptive parent!  It is ESSENTIAL that I talk about feelings and help my kid process through the difficult parts of their life stories.  Thank goodness for a village of other adoptive parents, social workers and counselors and even teachers who have come alongside me to help me make sure I handle this delicate subject to the best of my ability! Jaryse seems to do this quite easily, fluently, and with acceptance of the 'good' and the 'bad'.  I am pretty sure he has tau
