Everything

Something I think I omitted in the last post is this: Last Tuesday we had to have Ladybug put down. :-( I bawled the day before, the day of and the day after almost non-stop. We knew we were going to have it done...she was just getting way too bad. And having a 115 lb dog (who had lost weight) get so bad that she can't get up from her bed is not what I call fun. Her hips were getting so bad that I was afraid that I'd be stuck at home alone with her and she couldn't get up. I can't carry that much weight to the vehicle to take her to the vet. So we decided to end her misery, because she really was in a lot of pain from all the arthritis and all she had wrong with her. She had a wonderfully fun year and a half with us though. At least her best years were her last ones.

Still working on the house, it's much prettier than it was before! Haven't gotten to the painting yet. Still trying to make sure everything else is done first. The last coulple things I'll do is finish the painting and clean the carpets.

I'm really excited and nervous all at the same time. Tonight, I'm the "special" at church and I'm going to play my own music on the keyboard!!! AAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!!!! I've been taking lessons from Sis. Smith and they're going really well. Truly, I've only taken 2 lessons from her and one from Sis. Harry, but who's counting?!?! Well, just got online to pay some bills and check some stuff, so I'd better get to checkin' my e-mail, then back to workie. Love y'all!!!

Oh, P.S. :-) I've made the announcement at church about the Spanish classes, so if you're going to want to take 'em you'd better come see me soon!

So much to do, so little time!

Ok, ok...so I'm being hounded again. So, here I am. I've been working my buttoocus off trying to get my house up to par so we can pass our "home study" for the kids. We found out from Fostermom that the permanent custody trial (the one that was supposed to take place July 26th, is now going to take place January 14th (?) I think. So, it'll take up to 3-4 weeks after that before we hear the verdict. We could feasibly have the kids in our home by March if things go right. But we have to pass "inspection"!!!! Aaaauuugggghhhh!! I'm really stressing, because I've gotten "slothful" as the pastor preached about on Wednesday...yes, he may have been preaching to you, but he was also preaching to me. It's called L-A-Z-I-N-E-S-S! I lost all motivation and really didn't want to do a thing. Talk about selfish! So, here I am, getting caught up. I started last week on Thursday and spent Thursday and Friday cleaning and scouring the kitchen in any way that I could find. Rearranging some furniture and things and just redoing all that I had the fancy for. Monday I moved to the master bathroom and did the same thing and began on the master bedroom. I spent all day Tuesday, Wednesday and finished early yesterday working on laundry and cleaning the bedroom. In the meantime I also got boxes together to take to Goodwill. That's what took me so long on the bedroom...I had to sort through all kinds of stuff...clothes and all the junk that ends up in a bedroom. It's kinda the "catch-all" room, if you will. So, I started yesterday afternoon on the livingroom and that's where I am today. My momma called me earlier and practically ordered me (per one of my faithful readers) to at least put one entry on here. So, here I is. I took time out of my busy livingroom-cleaning day to let you all in on my busy doings. So, that's what I've been up to. Superhubby still hasn't been hired on yet at Big Bank Corporation, but God is still in control. I'm going to start up my Spanish classes for homeschoolers and adults here in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that. Well, gotta get to scourin' again. Love y'all, even though I haven't posted lately. I really do! God bless!
