1.  IT IS RAINing RAINing raining...but I'll take it over the devastating tornado's, earthquakes, volcano's, and the end of the world:) 
Love this poster from "the rapture end of the world people".
I think some did think it was the end of the world with the tornado's hit Sunday...but I did laugh when I saw this billboard picture..........

2. I {well D and I} went to court this morning for my court date to talk to the crown prosecutor about my $300 red light ticket I got after a girls night back in march. I even have  five witnesses who can attest that I couldn't help it..... it was icy and I slid through you can tell by the picture theres snow on the camera and slush/ice on the ground..... we got it down to $115....much better....thrown out would have been the optimum choice but better than nothing....

but I'm still never driving for a girls night again ha ha ;)   

{Thanks to those that watched my kids}

 

3. Hip checking has turned in to karate chopping my deranged dishwasher ....that now won't do anything but beep constantly and won't shut off and won't even start now! It's driving me insane!! I HATE hand washing my dishes..... paper plates and cups for us!! Seriously what is next .....a new lawnmower..... a new sump pump.... a ticket....life sometimes a little of everything right.....
Enjoy the sunny days, cause there's always going to be rainy days....

4. We tried to get our garden planted yesterday like three times each time we went out it POURED on us so we gave up....for now anyway...the kids are so excited each child has half a section of a box and can't wait to take care of it and see who's gets up faster etc etc might just work :)

5.The kids jumped on the tramp in the pouring rain and loved it yesterday. I LOVE watching my kids laugh and play with each other its really one of my favorite things!..and believe it or not I STAYED IN MY PJ'S all day long yesterday that is big for ME!  Each to their own of course ;)

6. I have some pretty fun shoes and people always mock me for my shoes or say I'm the girl with 70 shoes but I'm okay with that {fyi I don't have anywhere near 70 shoes} I like different shoes though its fun, I like height and I like getting a good deal.... each to their own once again...
my newest pairs I just got ......

mine are pink but I love them..

7. Why can't it be as cute and adorable to have a ponch ;) .... as it is I would think to have a cute prego belly........... sure would be a lot easier then sucking and tucking....... sorry I was joking about his with D cause I didn't  feel so good the other bloated day you know the days so I'm totally making fun of myself.. ha ha!

8. I love the biggest loser!  I cry every week, get inspired, and I just love it!  Tonight is finale and I can't wait!
 I strongly dislike stations that start a series then decide not to carry it anymore leaving us hanging!! I have PEASANT vision that is 4 channels for those of you who don't know what that is anymore..{I also still don't own a cell phone I know I know only one on earth ha ha}....
I don't have tivo/ dvr or anything like it so if I don't get it on my 4 channels I don't see it, so one of our stations here carried the first night of American idol but not the results show HIGHLY!!!! annoying!
Seriously who does that!!

9. I've won a couple of blog giveaways lately I won this blowdryer

10. I Love this poem. I love adoption. I love my children's birth families....

Once there were two women who never knew each other
One you do not remember, the other you call Mother
Two different lives shaped to make you one
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun
The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it
The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it
One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name
One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim
One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried you tears
One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.
Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?
Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.

LOVE THIS. Over the past little while since seeing three of my children's birth mothers in one weekend I have thought about it a lot and how each of my children come with their genetic makeup their looks and their little personalities it was amazing to me to talk with each of these beautiful mothers and see my children in their eyes or movement their emotions...
....I won't lie it does hurt a little because there's that hope inside that still hopes and prays for a little part of me and D in a child/ren too...,but that pales in comparison to what these children are to us the miracles, the journey to getting them here to our family.
These girls made this
possible when all else seemed impossible for all of us...
AND everyday I thank my Heavenly Father for each of these children and every person who helped, guided, directed and led them in our direction.
They are the biggest blessings of our lives.
