It’s a bit rainy and icky here today. We actually had a tornado watch for the first time that I can remember, and I got a little spooked at what the heck I should do, if one actually came… I called Josh to see what he thought, and he didn’t have a clue. I was thinking of getting in the bathtub?? I think I saw that on TV, that because of the pipes, that the bathroom is usually the best place in the house to be. Luckily, I didn’t have to find out! I was sure it was coming though, because the outside all of a sudden got really dark (like night time at 2:00pm) and the wind slowed to a stand still. I had convinced myself that I was in the “eye” of the tornado. (I think I watch too many disaster shows, what do you think?) …lol…
The rain has passed for the day, but they say tomorrow’s storm is going to be worse, so hopefully my luck won’t change. Hannah, the kitties and I are prepared to run for the tub if we need to! :o)
In baby news; I want to thank all of you for your support, encouragement, and kind words both on my blog, and in the emails I received. I was overwhelmed with the outpouring of love you all showed us.
Josh and I took our first foster parent class last week, and learned a bit more about the process. It was a little intimidating since they really like to lower your expectations and give you some worse case scenario type stories. I know they do that so you don’t go into it with false expectations, but it is tough to listen to. Both Josh and I left with some second thoughts about choosing the path we are on, but we intend to stick with it, and see where it takes us. Unfortunately we have to miss a class this week, so we won’t learn any more until next Wednesday.
I do have a few more last ditch efforts I am working on, to get pregnant on my own as well, so maybe that will pay off… you never know. A friend of mine was told by her doctor to cut out preservatives in her diet and eat all natural foods… meats, fruits, and veggies. Supposedly it gets your body working the way it should (like a machine) and increases your chances of pregnancy. I’ve been struggling with the diet for a little over a week now, and I think it’s getting easier. (I have no will power when it comes to food, and I live for Dr. Pepper, so it’s been a challenge to say the least!)
Josh’s birthday was last week, and he is now 38. We celebrated with family on both Saturday and Sunday, so it made for a fun weekend. (No the donkey wasn’t part of it, although my husband would have LOVED that!).
Now that the holidays are over, estate sales are back in full swing, so I have been adding to the shop as often as I can. This last week, I sold almost everything I listed on the same day it was listed, so that was exciting!
This week (and next) I am focused on getting my books in order, and filling my taxes. This is the most I have ever procrastinated on that, so I am a bit stressed about making my January 31st deadline. And I have to deal with Jury duty next week, so that is never any fun!
Wish me luck!
