a short update

Went back to work on Monday. God is good. It went well. I think that place is stuck in a sort of time warp. Nothing really changed. Same people, same work, same stuff.
I truly believe that God had/has control of this situation.
The only bummer is I lost my window desk and I am now in a "pod" with 4 people. Oh, well. I am over it. I am just getting back into the schedule of things. I know that with my little strength, God will get me through my work day.

While Keith is taking his classes, we got a sitter for the kiddo's. She has worked out good so far. She's not Auntie Jen, but she does just as good of a job. (Well, you know, nobody can replace Auntie Jen.) I can tell because T is behaving well and so is E. Neither have had any behavior changes that are negative. Only positive. E is asleep by the time Keith gets home and then he puts T to bed and then buy the time I am home, everyone is asleep. I go around watching them sleep and kissing everyone. They all look so peaceful & quite.
T is really getting into 'please & thanks'. I am happy that he has manners. Also his speech is getting clearer. We can understand over 3/4 of what he says. Yippy!

This morning, someone was outside and T ran to our door, "Jen, Jen!" I felt bad, it was not her and it was not anyone visiting us, it was the neighbor.

Update from Pismo:
Had a wonderful time and can't wait until next year!!! :) Hopefully Keith will be able to come the whole time. T really liked staying in the tent. When we got home he told us "no home, mama, tent please, tent!" I felt bad, but I really needed to sleep in my bed. I can only tent-it for so many days before my body reminds me of my age.
E did great. She slept good. She had a few spells, but nothing too bad. I told Keith that we should buy land and pitch a tent on it. We all slept pretty well, it was nice and relaxing!
Jen & Feliz came to Pismo, I was great to have them. Hope they'll come again next year, and you too if you want. It will be the same time next year.

I am itch'n for Tammy to have her baby. I am so excited for her & hubby. Can't wait to see the little guy.
Gotta go, E is starting to wake up & T is running a muck!!

Yippy!
Yey!
:)
Pismo, here we come!! I have been looking forward to this trip all year. Every year our church family camps for about a week. We have fun, fellowship, food & most importantly we study the bible together each day we are there. It's a great time! I always look forward to coming home with a new & refreshed outlook.
Please pray for traveling mercies.
Keith will be joining us Friday night & so will Feliz.
Auntie Jen will meet us there today.
It is going to be a great time.
Please also pray that E & me will adjust to the new surrounding and there will be no little"fits" the rest of this week.
Since our return home from last weekends adventures, E has had a "fit" each night.

Since I have you praying for us, let me add another one:
It is official. I will be returning to my job on Monday, 6-27-05. God is good and has made it possible for me to be vindicated. Pray that I will be calm and ready for Monday. I am VERY nervous about returning because of the situation in which I left. It will be weird. But I will do my job and work unto the Lord. I know He has a plan and He is in control. I hope that I will be a good reflection of His love and that I will be a light in that very dark place.
Diapers are calling and we all need to get ready! Bye for now!

Lost but now found

I have to make it short. We're leaving in about 3 hrs.....To visit family. So, today is Thursday, softball day. We had a game @ 6pm. I get 1/2 hr before the game to warm up. Somewhere between where we warmed up and the dug out I lost my wedding ring. This was the first time I did not take it off. Keith was not there to hold it and I thought I'd better keep it on, I didn't want to lose it. So I lost it. After the game I had our whole team and fans looking for it. A friend from MOPS tells me her hubby has a metal detector and she'll get it and comb the area in the morning. The man for the church we were playing at calls me to tell me he'll have the guy who mow the field tomorrow morning not do the area where I think my ring is. SO now I have to tell Keith, who is at FCC in some history class. I call & tell him. After class he comes home to a sad & upset wife. I was really mad at myself for being a dork & not taking my rings off at home. He gets a flashlight, the kids and me. Where off...We get there @ 10pm, after the last game of the night is over, he heads out. Mind you it's late, windy, cool and starting to rain. Yes, rain in June. I try to be good and help. But after awhile E wakes up. I'm now sitting in the car while the rain goes splat on the windows and splat, splat on the roof tending to E's thirst. I think to myself, this is nuts and the Keith should just take us home. About 15 mins later I notice that he turned the flashlight off and is starting to walk back. Then he changes his mind and continues to look. A few mins later, he's walking toward me. For all his faults, being stubborn turn in to being a good thing for once. The love of my life, father of my children, my best friend, & other mushy stuff taps on the window and I open the door. He asked me to marry him! He found it! A stink'en needle in a hay stack and he found it! Praise God!! On a dark & stormy night, in long grass in a softball field he found our wedding ring! :)

Just wanted to update things:
E is good.
T is good.
Keith is on a mini vacation. He started 2 class @ FCC this week. He'll start summer school next week. I sometimes feel like I have 3 kids to take care of and it's only Tuesday! T sure like having papa home to play with all day. :)
I'm good. I am currently enjoying a Lime Whole Fruit frozen ice bar....Yummy!

Busy, busy bee! As Winnie the Pooh would say. That is what we have been up to.
T had a very informal b-day party the 28th. It was great!
Auntie Jen, Feliz, the Prims, Belchers, Grumppa & Gammy were there. (Yes it is grumppa)
On Monday, Auntie Kristin stopped by with StarBucks. It was heavenily. Don't worry, I had a de-caf. Seeing her was GREAT! Wish she would have had more time. Maybe next time.
Later that night went to Pastor & Jan's, had to talk about some stuff. All is better now.
Same ol' same ol the rest of the week.
On Friday, the 3rd, got a call from my lawyer. I am to start back to work tentatively.
It will be weird, but I will leave it in God's hands. He knows what is best for me. He has a plan.
Keith has only 2 more days of school! YAY! Then he's off for a week.
T is doing great. He is growing like a weed. Any day now his head will be the right size for his body. His little melon grows first, then the rest of him. His favorite food right now is shredded wheat. The kids wants it 24-7! Boy, is he regular!! And clean as a whistle! I wish shredded wheat did it for me. Ever since I was prego w/ T, I have not been the same. Not to mention Auntie Hemm & Uncle Rrhoid. I think they are worst then Aunt Flo. Just when you think they're gone......Their not!
But that is a whole other blog. Maybe even a book!
E is good. She too is growing. She does not seem as big as T at that age. She is like him, but littler & a girl.
She is ALL girl. Her smile melts your heart. Her laugh fills you with joy. Babies are just so cool. I have new pics. I should have them after the 8th and I'll send them out.

I was reading about someone being prego & having to pee every 5 minutes. I just would like to add to that, after you have the baby, it is the same and when you sneeze, cough and laugh too hard. After #2 you bladder really does shrink down to the size of a dime. Your body will never be the same.
Funny your bladder shrinks and your boobs grow! Maybe that's where your bladder goes? It just packs it bags and moves north for the duration. Other things change. You mental capacity changes. You loose your keys, lock yourself out, forget deorderant, to eat, and take your vitamin. Things like that. But the exact time your water broke, the second you knew the baby was coming out and panting was not going to stop that kid, and the first time you lay eyes on that baby, you never every forget. Funny how your mind works. It goes from your mind to the mind of a mom in .03 seconds.
It's great the way God designed us women.
Well, that is all I have time for now. Got go!
