The list is endless. For as many ways that people can think of, there are ways to show support. I am often in awe of the way that people show their love and kindness. For those who have done that for me and my family through this VERY tough journey that we are embarking upon. THANK YOU! We DO appreciate you. Every gesture that you show means as much as 1 million dollars. It shows us that you love and support us and THAT IS WHAT MATTERS!!! It is what is getting us through...

Forever grateful....

Thankful...

I have said it before, but I am saying it again...

I am soooooooo T H A N K F U L for my church. When I am among my church "family," I feel so at "home." I have never been to a church where I felt this way. It is so nice. The twins are the same way. Tylor loves it too. Now, Tobey and Taylar are finding their way, but I have faith that they will find their places with time as well...

Last night was our church "Thanksgiving Dinner." To just sit back and watch how at-home my children felt among their friends was pure elation for me. To relax and have some quality food and fellowship with genuine people was just what my heart needed. Things have been rough lately and being able to refuel with fellow Christians is just what the doctor ordered...

Can I just come here and SCREAM???

I REALLY need to get back to blogging... This blogging. Here....Where I can come to a place and just V E N T...

Yes V E N T

Life has been anything but calm lately. The Single Mother board that I created for women to SUPPORT each other has been ANYTHING but that.. At least for me...

This adoption adventure that I find myself on is VERY important to me and I am COMPLETELY mortified that some people think it is OK to slam my emotions around like they do NOT matter.

First, I NEVER went on there asking anyone WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD GO FORWARD WITH THE ADOPTION.... That decision was MINE and it was not THEIRS to decide.... So, WHY some of them thought that they needed to TRY and TRY and TRY to convince me to NOT do it IS BEYOND ME!!!!!!

Second, WHY oh WHY are certain people obsessed with what me or my friends have in regards to materialistic things? WHY does it matter??? It has NOTHING to do with the CURRENT situation and is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!!! OMG! It just aggravates me to the core....

Third, why is it so HORRIBLE for others to support me? It seems as though the ones that disagree with what I am doing are just MORTIFIED when someone comes forward to SUPPORT me. OMG! What a terrible thing! It has gotten to the point that the people who support me have to do so in private as they fear the backlash that they might get on the board.

It just saddens me so as this is the MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE and these people seem hell-bent on making it as stressful as they can... :(
