What Was I Thinking?: July 2006

What Was I Thinking? Saturday, July 29, 2006. Hehe* It's 9:30 am and here I sit at the computer. Why? Because Toby Keith tickets go on sale here in 30 minutes! And I am GOING to this concert. Doesn't matter that we are broke. Doesn't matter that we have five birthdays in the month of October, and the concert is October 1st. I am going! Trace Adkins is tied with Toby Keith for my second favorite and third singers. Because they are AWESOME! Posted by Anna @ 9:31 AM. Thursday, July 27, 2006. I was watching ...

What Was I Thinking? Sunday, February 26, 2006. I honestly didn't realize how long I had been away from my blog! Life sort of got in the way of blogging. So what has happened since I posted last? Jenna has continued to amaze me with her gymnastics! She is getting so dang good! As you can imagine, it's very stressful watching her - but I love every minute of it! He just learned how to do his back-walk over! I really wish they had a boys training team, but they don't. I have some good news regarding Macie!

What Was I Thinking? Thursday, April 27, 2006. I just got off the phone with my caseworker. She informed me that the county has agreed to give us 100% of Macie's adoption subsidy as well as Medicaid benefits until she is 18 years of age! God is SO good! I'm just about to start crying I'm so excited! The county was trying very hard to get out of giving Macie even 1/4 of her adoption subsidy and didn't want to give her any medicaid benefits. But something helped them change their minds! But here is the pro...

What Was I Thinking?: June 2006

What Was I Thinking? Sunday, June 25, 2006. Today was my foster sibling group's first unsupervised visit with their great grandparents. For the first time in over a year they were allowed to return to their great grandparents home to play with family and friends. Now this is bad because mommy is in jail, and the judge has court ordered no contact between the children and the mother. So anyways the mommy calls the great grandparents and finds out her kids are visiting. She asks repeatedly to be al...No on...

What Was I Thinking? Saturday, September 30, 2006. I can honestly say that I am not looking forward to Christmas this year. It's so hectic for us that it's not really enjoyable. Oh sure I love to get together and see all the family members, but we have seven Christmas parties to attend every year. Yes you read that correctly - SEVEN. 1 Our family Christmas (Christmas day). 2 My parents' house (Christmas eve). 3 Matt's parents' house (Christmas day). 4 My grandma's house(Christmas eve). So anyways, we hav...

What Was I Thinking? Thursday, August 17, 2006. I'm officially the big 3-0. I have one mean friend who made me an "over the hill" graphic for another group we belong too. Wasn't that mean of her? I don't FEEL old. Well actually I do, but I don't feel that old! Anyways, I don't really have any major plans for celebrating my birthday. The kids have soccer practices, and gymnastics so we can't really go out. Maybe I'll talk my husband into getting take out for dinner. Posted by Anna @ 11:41 AM. It'll be a s...

What Was I Thinking? Monday, May 22, 2006. I am so mad I could scream! Actually I have been screaming, and whining, and complaining, and venting, and just about crying all day. You see, when I purchased my 15 passenger van from the local Salvation Army Church, I was TOLD that my parents would be able to purchase the second van when their school bus arrived. Now I'm feeling really guilty, but above all else I'm mad as can be. How can you SAY you will sell something to someone (and he said it to me, my...

What Was I Thinking?: January 2006

What Was I Thinking? Monday, January 30, 2006. Respite of any form causes change. In this case, it has caused my foster son to regress a little, my foster to adopt daughter to whine and cling, and my other foster daughter to.well.be herself. *lol*. D seemed to thrive in the foster home. And why shouldn't she? So every day she is asking me how long until she has a family visit, or when she gets to go back to the other foster family to visit. Now I personally LOVED the respite day! I just don't like leavin...

What Was I Thinking? Sunday, October 29, 2006. Vegas Trip Was Awesome! My husband and I recently left for Las Vegas for four days. We decided we needed a grown up vacation without any children. Partly because we're foster parents are were feeling VERY burnt out, and partly because we hadn't had any time as a couple in almost a year. It's very difficult when you have seven children in the home to get out and do anything fun! Speaking of winning. I won. $1058.00 on ONE slot machine! Of course, we didn't fa...
