Blahness

I'm trying to write every day .. HA! I have to admit I have been irritable lately. October 26 was adoption day for the girls. We took them out to eat. Dec. 20th is Cowens. He really does not understand what that means. He knows he was adopted and thats all. The girls (Destiny) remembers more. Teanna does not remember just what Destiny tells her. Cowen turned 4 on the 12 of Nov.
Today Cowen and I went to Goodwill with Rachel and Meghan her daughter that is Cowen's age. I was determined to buy something today, I found some hot pads that were brand new. Cowen found a Dolphin and that was about it. I did find some photo frames I would like to re-finish but maybe next time Blah!

"FAT THING"

Today was a fat day for me. I am over weight and really need to lose a bunch, But today I was feeling extra..... fluffy (aka bitchy) I wore a scrub top to work that was to tight and it bugged me all day. I walked in front of a mirror and wondered who the hec that fat butt was.

My day died of a heart attack. I am afraid of getting everything he had. So in Jan. My friend Rachel and I are starting our weight loss Thingy. I am getting a membership to the Y. I LOVE to work out but just getting motivated to do it is another thing.

I had to work this weekend and today I went to work on 3 hrs of sleep. Teanna was sick puking most of the night. My poor baby she's 6 and never complains.
So I guess I will take my fat butt to bed.

We made it through Holloween. Then my Dad died on the 4th of Nov. It has been crazy trying to do things for my Mom. They were married for 55 years. My 6yr old took it hard she and my Dad were close. It is hard to explain death to kids. But with Jim losing his parents the past 2 years we think we've done ok.
I loved my Dad, he was old fashion but the best Dad. I have one sister and three brothers. My brother from Alaska made it and tried to help my Mom get her money in order. It just has been crazy. I'll try to write every day.

Green beans for breakfast?????

Tradition is you eat cereal, toast, eggs or what ever???? Some have had steak and eggs. ok if you can eat steak for breakfast or sugary cereal why not green beans??
The thing is not many kids would eat "Green Beans" let alone for breakfast but My kid loves cold green beans out of the can and if he wants to eat them for break fast he will! My husband tried to tell me "You don't eat green beans for breakfast!" Where does it say that?? There is no law or rules we follow by that says "NO GREEN BEANS FOR BREAKFAST" If he chooses that over cereal then it's ok with me!!!1 :P

Today we went to the pumpkin patch. It was a nice day to go and I think every one was thinking the same thing. I will try to post some pictures later.

stress

My kife has been stress full lately. Hurting my back and dealing with behaviors from my 8yr old with attachment disorder. I really want to cut down hours at work but Christmas is coming and I don't want to get behind any bills.
I am taking some pills for my back with Ibuprofen but they don't really work. and I have to go back to work tomorrow. I an kinda goofy so I better not write much I have had to respell a bunch. I will try to write more tomorrow.

Me

I'm married to my high school sweet heart, 3 kids adopted from foster care, 2 dogs and one guinea pig. I work full time and wish I could stay home with my kids. My house is a wreck most times and I spend most days off trying to get it back in order.

My husband and I wasted and I use the cause as you know I am 38 going on 40 :P We wasted 3 or 4 years on trying to get prego and never did. We tried international adoption and financially could not come up with the money.
A family member told us to try foster care. I really was against it but we did thinking I would get my mind off getting PG and then it would happen.

Our first placement were 2 little girls 2 and 3 and 1 month later she turned 4. They are the best thing that ever happened to us. They came to us in July of 04 and was adopted Oct. 06
Our same case worker called us asking us if we wanted to take a little boy 15 months and we did. He was adopted Dec. 07. We went from 0 to 3 and they didn't come with instructions .. LOL
I am also trying to work up a support group/web site with some friends to talk to others with kids that has issues. Both my girls are RAD girls. So behaviors are a daily thing in our house.

I hope to keep up to date with this. I am afraid I will have nothing to say that means anything. Well, Thats all for tonight.
