Waiting with a capital W

Thanks for anyone who was praying for us yesterday. I feel that I owe you some sort of update and cannot leave you hanging (as if you are on the edge of your seat, biting at the bit waiting for this. Ha!) Our day turned out to be less eventful than we hoped. We didn't learn anything new except that we get to wait some more, this time until June 22nd. I have been waiting constantly for two and a half years now and quite frankly, it got old about a year ago. For the most part I have learned to be patient in waiting, but sometimes it just makes me mad. I know, in my head, that God knows exactly what he is doing, but my heart wants answers. On a positive note, we didn't receive unfavorable news, so I guess we can wait a little longer, praying all the way, if it means God is working things out for us. And he is indeed working on our side. Because he is faithful to those who are faithful to him. This past weekend we watched Mr. D and Miss N again. We have so much fun together and I'm glad we get to watch them as often as we do. This weekend the kids were a more comfortable with us, I think, and showed us their true colors. 4 year old boys are definitely all boy, or at least Mr. D is. Climbing on everything and generally playing rough and hard. Miss N proved to be a 2 almost 3 year old. I taught 2 year olds in daycare, so I was not surprised by her mood. :) Still just the sweetest kids, always bring a smile to our faces. Mr. D and Miss N were quite rambunctious on Saturday, and decided to team up to chase and wrestle BJ and I'm pretty sure they won. I'm just glad it wasn't me because I'm sure I would have bruises and be sore. BJ was a better sport than I would have been. You should have seen the smiles on their faces as they jumped on top of BJ again and again. Silly kids! I think watching them is a stress reliever for me, which is quite the opposite for most people. I guess I'd be the odd duck. This Saturday is going to be filled with finishing things for Sunday, and the Mother's Day Banquet, and birthday parties. The problem is that when I am not working I just want to lay around and be lazy. And I usually do at least a little of that and my productivity is hindered. Its like I'm fighting against myself. But it all gets done eventually. Ohh, I must remember to buy Mother's Day gifts. It hasn't quite made it on my radar yet. Maybe I should think about that. We have soooo many shows recorded that we need to watch (but not nearly as many as one of my coworkers who always has about 100 hours recorded). So far tonight we have been able to watch or otherwise clear off 5 one hour shows. This feels like a losing battle. Is anyone else obsessed with getting caught up on recorded TV shows? It really bothers me that we are behind. I really think the Mavs are going to make it to the finals this year. It sure wouldn't hurt if the Lakers and/or Spurs lose in the first round. If I were superstitious, which I am not, I would say that posting this prior to making it past the first round would jinx us. Somehow the Mavs have mental issues with the playoffs. I don't know how to fix it. Just stating the obvious. P.S. I think the hardest part about blogging is the feeling like I must transition from subject to subject like a well written novel. So I give up. As random as it is in my head and as rough as it comes to mind, that is how it is coming out unless I am in a particularly crafty mood and wish to expend my energy coming up with clever and eloquent transitions between subjects. Don't expect the extra energy to be exerted any time soon. Just saying.
