Counting Down.....

to bedtime.
Rockin good time Dr. appointments for the kids this afternoon. Tootsie Pop sweet incentive hanging over their heads for excellent behavior there. Maybe I will remember our forms and not have to come all the way home for them like I did yesterday when we had our blood work drawn and TB tests checked.
Sometimes living in Boonville isn't so fabulous.
For instance, when you drive a half hour to get somewhere, realize you forgot something crucially important, drive a half hour back home to grab it, and drive a half hour again to your original destination, to do what needs to be done and then make the half hour commute back to the casa.
If you are currently considering a move to the quiet country, you should really think about such things. Ah.....yes.
I may have left essential paperwork here, but I did have all 5 children, snacks, water bottles, and books for entertainment while they waited at each of our 2 medically-mandated stops, with me. Not to mention, matching shoes and socks were worn by each and every single one of us! That seems like it should count for something. Something huge. But it mattered not one single bit.
I'm wondering if by now we could just become approved for adoption on the basis of sheer effort? I will go ahead and suggest that to the social worker and see how she responds. Ah.....yes.
Insomnia plagued me last night. Dolly wasn't feeling well so she and I drag on today. Come 8:00 come.

Bedtime is such a sweet time of the day! A time to reflect on accomplishments, or lack thereof ;). And time to reflect on the blessings, and time with the spouse! (does that ever really happen?)Glad to hear the kiddos are doing well with all you have to do to get ready for the adoption. Good for them!
