Random ponderings

I am sitting here waiting for CB who is a saint...out helping my parents move into their new home! It has been a crazily busy week and it is only Tuesday. Bug and I were on our own this evening. We made pizza and oatmeal cookies. No worries, we worked in a spinach salad too! Bug cried himself to sleep, trying to hide the tears from me missing his daddy. He's such a little man. CB left for work at 6:15 and neither of us have seen him today. I should be doing report cards, but I am instead adding new backgrounds to my blog and pondering life!

I woke up this morning with a really unsettled feeling. I had this concern about a heart, perhaps a heart attack. I prayed for my parents knowing they would be moving today and hoping they wouldn't over do it until we got off work to help. No sooner had I prayed that prayer and the phone rang. My mom called to tell me that my Uncle had suffered a ruptured heart valve while hiking in the Sierras. He's in critical condition and they are trying hard to stabilize him for surgery. Funny how these things come to mind when God is there. My Uncle is not a believer. Even so, God is watching over him and his family.

I did say random...our adoption files are complete. Even our photo profile is signed and sealed. Now to wait and wonder and answer endless questions as people mean well. I saw a shirt the other day that said, "We're adding to our family through adoption...no, we haven't heard anything yet!" Might not be a bad idea. The annoying thing is they always apologize as they ask! No reason to apologize, we're as impatient and out of control as they are. At this point spring would be ideal since I will have to take unpaid time away from school. No adoption benefits in our district...to say the least!

I'd better return to my Thanksgiving recipes and shopping list. Waiting for my honey and looking in on my sweet Bug...
