Stream of Thought

It's 3:14 am.

I remember once my old pastor said that people who go around saying they are "early risers" are just bragging. Lol

Not me, I just woke up, and felt like a cup of coffee. :)

I didn't have a single cup yesterday. So, no I am not weirdly addicted to it. I can take it or leave it. I just like it, that's all. I also like Margaritas. But I don't drink them at 3:14 am. At least not yet.

I am blessedly FREE from Saturday mornings. I am liking the word FREE lately, in terms of freedom.

Can't wait to try out the new "talk show" online. I decided that the best talks Deb and I ever had were when we sat at my table. Add a mike, voila!

New issue will be here Monday. RiDICulously great cover. Can't wait for you all to see it.

I am contemplating blueberry muffins or rice pudding for church today. Though I was supposed to stay home and put the new issue together that is due, gulp, Saturday. The issues are running closer and closer together now that we are growing so large...I had the production schedule for May's issue before April's got printed. Sheesh. They are trying to kill me.

Busy week next week, Dentist appt, committee meeting, new issue is out so I am SUPPOSED to go the networking meetings but....Sloan babysits, Dragon Boat Festival vendor...fair...
so I am trying to work ahead a bit.

In my reorganizing, I cleaned out Kate's clothes closet. Yikes. Two garbage bags full of clothes that do not fit. Now the kids have to go through those to see which of those are Heather C's that she lent us. I am afraid they may have gotten sucked into the vortex. Heather, if you read this, will you release me????

If I stay home from church, then I will likely put the kids on that sorting chore.

Next will come the 3 year old sock basket that needs matching. 3 drawers deep. Have fun kids!

Been finding some great houses....making sure there's room for one more! Jeff and I are HOT for another kiddo. Hmmm, doesn't the word HOT in that context, along with the idea of a child just sound WRONG??? Let me rephrase.

We are really, really, really ready. We will adopt, try for our own and beg God for one. Are we ready for a boy? Sure, why not! Though all our baby stuff is for girls!! We are going to start trying again for our own after our 3 miscarriages and look into adoption. Except I don't know how. Seems like a biiiiiiiiig undertaking, adoption. The idea of raising the actual child seems less difficult than the adoption process. I would prefer a private adoption.

Ok, gots to go! Can't wait to hear how International Day went! We opted out. Lol Surprise!

What an exciting thought...I have always wanted to adopt!! I loved the thought of providing a home for a child..who could not be cared for!! For now..adopting a cat or two will have to count!!:)

I know, like having a child or taking care of the ones you have no big deal! But applying and having to prove you are capable of taking on one more totally intimidates me!!

I can totally relate to wanting the baby fairy to drop one on my doorstep, minus all the paperwork ;)

Ha! I am not myself intimidated by the process...just think they make it too difficult AND costly. They should of course, be careful and really check the family that is adopting and
I wouldn't mind the paperwork at all if it would result in a baby fairly quickly.

A homestudy in itself can take months and the paperwork is excessive not to mention the 20-30 grand you fork out.

Courtney is an amazing woman with a heart for adoption, she is also known as wife to the rock star.
