This morning I woke up to Sadie having made me coffee. I love that I taught them how to do it. It is so exciting for them and I really enjoy not making it. So she brought me in a cup of the coldest nasty smelling coffee. She had used WAY TOO much creamer. BUT I really loved the fact that she thought about me. Then they all ate breakfast. I ran by Jenn's house to get some sunscreen because she was closer than the store. Lilly had a field day today and would be outside more than half of the day and she needed it. I will be buying some before Thursday when Sadie has her field day. I guess that we used it all last summer because I have none. So I dropped them off at school after that and went back to Jenn's for coffee and crocheting. At 11:00 Gabe and I left to go to a UMW meeting and lunch at one of the ladies houses. That was so much fun. We chatted and had good food and hung out and it was nice. Then the meeting started and I just listened to everything. They read that story about the holy quilt and it was sad, talked about all the upcoming events for them, and talked about everything that they will be doing in the fall. Then I guess that they had taken up a special offering and they gave all of that money to Sadie for her adoption. I was so touched that I cried. It was such a blessing so I waited to deposit it until I picked up Sadie. So I drove a friend to her truck and then ended up chatting with Jerry and Brenda for an hour until it was time to get the girls. That was great. I really enjoy the Sunday night services and I told him that because he was in charge of them and they stopped, he appreciated what I said and is going to try to plan it for next Sunday. I am so excited about that. I picked up the girls and told Sadie that the UMW gave her money for the adoption and we were going to go and put it in her account. She said "How much" and I said "$235.80" and she screamed and I thought that she was going to cry too. We only need $416.00 more and I am hoping to have that before I leave to go to Minnesota so that I can get him to sign the papers. I am going to ask the lawyer that I have if he will take a $250 deposit and give me the papers for him to sign and I will pay the rest when we get back from our vacation. I figure that it never hurts to ask. The worst that is going to happen is that he says no they need it all up front. So we will see.
So as I was typing this I had to stop because the kids were having WW3 in the house. There has been screaming, hitting, kicking and peeing of the pants. Mornings and nights when Kal is not here are the worst. Right now they are eating so they are fairly quiet although the girls are debating something and Gabe is yelling at them about water so I guess it is not as good as I thought.
OH and I made a new rag quilt today that is black with blue, pink, yellow and purple butterflies with a yellow back. I will post pictures tomorrow after it is dried. It is in the washer right now. I was thinking about trying to sell it and using that money for the adoption too. I told Kal that I was thinking about doing that. Making things and selling them for Sadie. It will help me to sew again and put more money in that account!
That is it for today. My first post in June...go me!
That is so sweet that the ladies did that Becca! I know that made you feel good!
ReplyDeleteOMG it did. I think more than that it made Sadie feel good. Kal and I were feeling so bad when she said that she thought that he didn't love her because we were supposed to use tax money to get this done and we had to get that van instead...I just prayed that money would come for this and we were already saving some so now we just need to save more and we have it. We are about 1/2 way there and when I get back in August is when I need the rest so I am hoping that we will have been able to save enough by then. I am so excited though.
