It's that time... see all the things I
didn't do this week, and then hop on over to
MckMama's blog for more of the fun!
This week, no matter what anyone tells you, I most certainly did not do any of the following:On Tuesday, we
did not turn in our album to our agency, and this
did not officially put us in the waiting pool. I am
so sure how I feel about this right now.
Later that same day, DoubleT
did not leave on a plane for Boston for tax training, which I
totally think sounds like a blast. Before he left, we
did not drop the dogs off to be boarded so that I wouldn't have to handle them both by myself the rest of the week. All of this
did not mean that I had the house 100% to myself for 3 whole nights, which I most certainly
did not take advantage of to sit around and play computer games rather than clean up like I should have. Nope,
not me! I could
never be accused of doing nothing or procrastinating! ;-)
Before arriving home on Tuesday, I
did not make a quick stop at the grocery store to get the ingredients I needed for veggie pizza...
AGAIN. THEN, on Wednesday, I
did not sit around messing with the new side bar on my blog when I should have been making the veggie pizza. I
did not procrastinate until 8 p.m. to finally start my task, only to discover that I had forgotten to buy the crescent rolls! Yikes... two weeks in a row?!?! I
did not quickly go to the store, come back, make the pizza, and finally get to bed at midnight! Nope,
not me!
On Thursday, I
did not go to our Sunday School class's Girls' Night Out, which was
not REALLY a surprise baby shower for our friend! I most definitely
did not ride with another friend because I am directionally challenged :-) AND because it was dark and raining so badly I thought I might kill us both if I drove!!! We
did not get there and back safely (Whew... only by the grace of God!) and we
did not have a great time! :-)
On Friday, I
did not attend our agency's Christmas party alone, :-( and I
did not end up sitting with
6 birth mothers because I was the only one at my table when they came in. Even though they were very nice young ladies, and even though I have come
soooo far in my view of adoption, I
did not find this situation very um... awkward? How's THAT for honesty?
After the party, I
did not go directly to the airport to pick up D.T. I
always appreciate D.T. when he is home, therefore I had
no reason to be SO excited to have him back! AND, I
definitely knew what to do with myself when he was gone!
This has
not been a tough week for me emotionally. I
am not trying to muddle through all my thoughts, and I
would not greatly appreciate your prayers for me to have the faith to keep moving forward...
Living in His JOY, HOPE, and PEACE...
