Open letter to my heart-adopted son...

Hey Baby Boy!

I am glad to hear from you:). I know what it is like to be somewhere where everyone I love is at work and I am at home......sucks big time. I also know you are one tough cookie and will make it through this. Always remember: This, too, shall pass.

Please tell Navy Man that I love and miss him...and Hev-G, too. And, please kiss Layla for me and tell her Mama to send me some photos.

Same ole shit around here...got screwed out of $250.00 on the first...now, imagine that!!!

Fif got her place so I have been going over there to hang out. Ummm....there is this maintenance man there...with eyes I could drown in...rotf.

Lij and Jen went to Homecoming...and looked awesome...they had a wonderful time. He got a job and should start soon. He is the perfect hire for a video store:).

We took Fif out for her birthday and had a great time...now I know why you kids like Lemon Drops. I was all puckered up and said, "Wow! This is delicious!" We drank, we danced, we hugged, and we giggled...all in all, we had a great time.

Alana painted one of the walls in the living room teal and, buddy, its gorgeous. I smile everytime I look at it.

I am okay, so do not panic when you read the next line. Somehow I managed to fall down the stairs yesterday. Even though I landed on my feet, I slammed into the wall at the bottom. It scared me more than anything. I was so shook up, I called Fif and she came to pick me up and we went to her place. How's this for timing? The maintenance guy came over to fix the shower while I was there. I told him we had to stop meeting like that:). Today I am so stiff I look like the Tin Man in dire need of some oil.

I am thrilled to know that you are using the book! You know, Kiddo, God doesn't care how He blesses us and that book is definately a blessing for you. Finding a safe place to go when we need to escape the daily grind is such a fantastic tool for you! Keep me posted on your progress and, please, keep writing to me.

Carry this little tidbit in your pocket and pull it out any time you need some encouragement: I love you very much and I am immensely proud of you!

Love and hugs,

Momma

Shipped off yesterday...

The following items are now enroute to their rightful owners:

This is for Maverick...Ohio's Littlest Farmer:).


"Baby" Blankie...um...for a friend. It is only 36" x 36", so it is more of a couch back decoration, but should work nicely with the porcelain eagle collection.

This is the back:).


This is for a precious newborn baby girl:).


This is for my Mom, Betty, for Mother's Day:).


And...this is what I look like this morning...

Meet my newest heart-adopted child~

I am having such a wonderful time in life being totally immersed in the love our Heavenly Father is showering on me! The cool thing about splashing around in a pool of love is that you want everyone to get soaked in it too.

I have decided that I am gonna spread the love not only in blogland but IRL, too. Over the next few month I will introduce my blog family to my real family and vise-a-versa. Today I want you to meet my newest heart-adopted baby girl. Her name is Jen & she uses the screen name, Bubbles, sometimes. Bubbly is the perfect description of her personality! This young lady was brought into my life by my youngest son. They are currently sweethearts so I get to see her often. Not only is she absolutely beautiful physically she has a soul that matches her insides to her outsides. The fact that she adores me does not in any way hurt my feelings...lol. Here is the myspace comment she left for me this morning:

you are a gem.
a treasure.
and a spectacular mom.
i'm very happy that you're in my life.
+ i'm pretty jazzed to have your son in it too. :D
your family in general..
good job :D
ilerveyoucuteface.
!:D<3!

She is so cute I could just bite her~ I love it when other people share the same quirks that I have. This kid finds it impossible to wear matched socks...and I love it. I do the same thing...just ask my kids about my cotton argyle sock collection...lol.

I love you, Kiddo. Welcome to the family!
