Adoption News
OMGosh! I'm freaking out!!!!! So, this is what has just happened.
I got a phone call just minutes ago from my old OB/GYN's office (Dr. Weaver), she's the doctor I talked about loving...back when I was having my bleeding issues. My insurance dropped her...:( Anyway, just days ago I was talking to David about maybe calling them to see if they would hold our name on their list of people want to adopt. If you know me at all, you know I have a hard time making phone calls. I can do it, it just takes me forever to get the nerve up and even then, I have to make a list of what I want to say, etc. I know, I'm a dork...I just get nervous. So, I get this call...can I tell you how happy I was? LOL! I asked the receptionist about the adoption stuff and she forwarded me to a lady named Rhonda. Get this...Rhonda and I bonded the moment I walked into that office...so, she remembers me. I almost cried...here I was talking to Rhonda about adoption, etc. AND she said that they WILL put our names on the list even though I am not her patient...they will keep my records!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know nothing may come of this, but I believe in miracles and I believe that things happen for a reason. God is good and even though I have a hard time giving control of this situation to God, I have peace now that I did not have even hours ago.
So, I called David and I think this is our sign that we need to get to it! We HAVE to have our garage sale (we have so much junk to sell...including baby boy stuff - and NO I will not get pregnant this time), clean out our basement and get things in order. We need to start the adoption process all over again...and get our foster care license. Wheeeew!!!!!!!
Scrapping News
I just tried to insert some of my layouts and of course it didn't work! If you'd like to see the, please check out my gallery here: http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=138
In other news, I'm on two guest teams this month! Joana Carvalho's (www.joanacarvalho.com) and Darcy Baldwin's font team (www.blueflombingo.com). I had Darcy make my handwriting into a font and I LOVE it. I am having a hard time using other fonts now! LOL! You can see it here: http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=84076&cat=all&ppuser=138. If you've been thinking about doing it, do it! It's worth it!!!
Starting today, I will be backing up my computer and deleting a lot of stuff off my computer. I'm nervous about it, I just want it done NOW! :P
I think I'm going to go take a little nap. I'm exhausted! Who am I kidding? I need to work on some organzing of my kits first. ;)

I can't believe it has been over a month since I blogged! I had some things going on in my personal family life that I needed to talk about but didn't want to post it here. It just wasn't the place or the time. It's still not the place or time for some of it, LOL! But, I can talk about some stuff.

Totally fitting since that's my favorite cookie. ;)
(My Creative Teams)
First, I decided to remove myself from Trish Jone's Creative Team. I was on it for 2 months...but things just didn't seem right for me. I was stressing over it and just didn't feel like I could meet the guidelines for the team. Since then, I have also taken my blinkie down for Frick & Frack, mainly because i haven't heard from them in ages and all I've seen from them is one kit. No personal issues there, just did it until I hear that they are designing and then I'll go from there. ;) I also stepped down from the SBB E-Team, which was probably stupid because I only had one more month left! DUH! Anyway, so, I decided to apply to Lauren Grier and Angela Barton's teams. Lauren I know from my time at Digital Freebies and really, I should have begged her (when the CT there broke up) to keep me. Angela, I've always liked her kits, but never have used them. She reminds me a lot of Chatterbox. LOL! So, the big news is...I made Angela's team. :) I still have to wait for Lauren's call to end.
(The Kids)
We are working with the boys on a schedule (Anakin NEEDS it and we've already seen some improvement on his behavior), rules or our household and a rewards chart. Okay, so I haven't got the reward charts done yet, but I'm working on it.
Anakin and Tristin both have had field trips...I'm still volunteering at Anakin's school library. They are both doing well in school. :) Their last reports were awesome. Anakin has only missed one word in spelling all year (and that was because he forgot the "tail" on the Q in the word)! Tristin's teachers confirmed what we thought about him...he's ARTISTIC! LOL! He loves to do the crafts and paint at school. Paxtin, well, he's a sweetie as always. He turned 2 on 1/18. He is just now getting his last 4 teeth...not sure why it took so long for him to get them! He's talking up a storm...even making 6-7 word sentences! He's ready to be potty trained...we're just waiting until we're ready. LOL!

Now that I'm done with all the bleeding...I need to get re-focused on me and my weight. I sooooooooo wish this wasn't an issue, but honestly, it always has been so I don't know why I can't just accept that I'm never going to be a size 2. BUT...I was watching Oprah yesterday and they were talking to Bob Greene about his weight loss challenge they just started. They were talking about exercise and how for some people (or it should be everyone) will have to exercise 5 times a week and you just have to "get it" and move on. It's so hard to get out of the habit of thinking...I'll diet until I get to a certain weight and then I can go back to doing whatever I want. It will NEVER be that way for me. Ever. I know, it's simple. I can say that I want to change my lifestyle...but that is exactly what I have to do. I have to change everything! David and I have been trying to change the boys' life too...do you know how hard that is? No chips, no cookies? WHAT? yeah, it's hard...maybe because it's ME that needs to change. I'd rather eat the chips and cookies than the good stuff. LOL! I need to find alternatives and get the boys off the SUGAR. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, enough about that.
I've got pictures to share, etc. I'll get to it...I'm going to try to blog more. Keep me to it, Julie!!!!!!!! ;)
