1) I haven't menu planned in two weeks. Yup, after 2 weeks of perfection, I slipped. I ran dry of ideas and just couldn't come up with any more within me so we gave in to eating out a total of 5 nights in the past couple weeks. Maybe more.. I don't know I just don't wanna count! After Ira's birthday party tomorrow, I hope I will come back around again. I sure miss home cooked meals now!
2) My mama went to the ER last night and was admitted :-( I cried my eyes out and then went to visit her. I seem strong around my sisters and brothers but really, I am a mess. I just don't know how to be. I know I have faith but the thought of my mama suffering or even getting close to a heart attack freaks me out. I LOVE MY MOM. She is the world to me. I know I am who I am because of her and I NEED her. I so look forward to our Wednesday and Friday morning conversations where we talk about anything. I can't wait for her to get out of the hospital and be home. I am going to plan a girls' day out soon. I'll talk to my sisters and see what we can come up with. Mama needs her pampering, she works sooo hard.
Now the ups:
1) My honey and I decided after 10 years of a promise that it's time to move forward with the adoption process. I am so excited! 10 years ago before we got married, we stared in each other's eyes and made a pact with our Lord that we would do everything possible to adopt a child. As child advocates and working with children I can't tell you enough how many children are so hurting and longing for a family to belong to. So here begins our journey for a princess to join our home. We are hoping for a girl that we can spoil and the boys can protect. Lil Geovanni and Ira understand and are believing that we will bring home a new baby soon. I know there is a chica out there who will be our new addition. Lord, I pray that you protect her and send our precious angel Gianna to comfort her right now and let her know that she will be joining us soon.
In Jesus mighty mighty name, Amen!
2) Ira's birthday! Well if you know us, you know we do these birthday parties up BIG. We have a saying in our household... "We asked for our babies, they didn't ask for us." And therefore, we look at birthday parties as a way to show our babies how special they are to us. They love being part of the planning. We plan for months ahead... while nothing gets down on paper because I am just not THAT organized, we plan things like where we are thinking of having it and the theme. Then we start dreaming up the games and envisioning the whole thing. I will post pictures up after tomorrow's BIG day.
Well that's all for now... I've gotta run and get the last items for the party tomorrow.
In Jesus,
