Life in the fast lane

When was the moment it seemed to fast forward?
Is it just me, or does everything seem to be going so much quicker then ever these days.

Well, lets just say, I am glad in some ways and in others I wish time would just slow down! Everything is so busy and cluttered and I feel as if there is never any time to do anything!

Working 5 shifts at MacDonalds a week, plus fitting in as much babysitting as I can, going out to parties and finding time to bond with my girl friends, spending time with Oscar and running around after the kids, fundraising for adoptings, and praying to God that time slows down to fit more in.

Gosh, when did that transition happen?!

Anyway, Oscar is growing up on us so fast... although I havn't seen him in a while! It is hard to find the time with all this other stuff going on, and I miss him oh-so-much!

It is hard to beleive he is 3 now!
Wasn't it just a few days ago we sat in that hospital room? I could swear it was....



This precious blue eyed boy and I have a prayer request, too!

Some of you may know Sam, the orphan who is being adopted. Well, his family is meeting him NOW! And they happen to be in the same institution!

They were not able to get us pictures of Max but they did say he is wayyyyyy cuter in real life then in his picture! They also told us he can walk!

It is so releiving knowing a little about the place Max is waiting in. It is also comforting to know that yes, he is ok!

However, there is still a rush to get him home, and this darn paperwork thing is so annoying! Nothing ever seems to be compleate, or there is an error, and it is always traveling between people to get fixxed up!

Praise God we have such a great bunch of 'helpers' willing to use their time to bring Max home!


Teenage drama never stops amazing me... not that I can really just put it out there as I want to do.
Lets just say, Moms, be ready! LOL :)

Billy, Zac and Annie are all doing good. Annie has the 'frincess' obsession where she changes her clothes ten times a day and wants me to do her make up. Its kinda sweet, but is starting to get her in some big trouble! Bedroom time outs are common for Miss Grumpy at the moment!
Which reminds me... how on earth do we get her to stop. NOTHING seems to be working. Smacks, time outs, no treats... FAIL!
I suggested we just keep putting her in the room, and eventually she will stop (I hate smacking her!!!!) But it doesnt seem to be working!

The kids love the fact that I can now drive. Billy will constently be asking me if we can go for a drive, or will I take him to soccar practice. I don't particually like driving with the kids in the car, but Billy is pretty cool with it. Zac and Annie do not know how it sit quietly while Mum talks me through what to do, which makes me nervous! They also don't really think it is safe for them, as they have seen me bunny hop down the street ;)
I love driving!!!


I went on camp last week, but I will save that for a new post... soon, I promise :)

Anyways, gotta go get dressed, curl my hair, put my makeup on, get changed and go out dancing!

Happy day :)
