Just Stuff

• What am I going to blog about for the next one to two years? Obviously, I'm not blogging about adoption on every post right now, but I still have quite a few "adoption" related posts. But there's going to be a lot less info coming our way for quite a while. Of course, I'll still update when the opportunity presents itself, but will y'all still read if the updates are fewer and further between?
• Another family received a referral of a three year old girl last week! Did I already tell y'all that? I can't remember to save my life.
• In yesterday's Bulgaria update a young man wrote about returning to the orphanage that he had lived in as a child. One of his caregivers was still there. He said (I'm paraphrasing here) that he had never believed he was really loved, but realized how much he was loved when he went back. It made me cry. I thank God that there are people willing to care for the precious orphans in Bulgaria and all over the world.
• I survived the first week of school in spite of 100+ degree temps. Nuff said.
• Speaking of heat . . . I wish it would go away.
• We picked up our mail last night on our way home from dinner. Our electric/water bill was in there. Geeze Louise the water bill was high. Oops.
• I already have papers to grade this weekend. I don't waste any time. Tests on the first week of school? Yes, please.
• I'm really sorry for the people that have to endure Hurricane Irene, but hurricanes in general fascinate me. They are so powerful and awesome and amazing.
• I think Andrew has my lack of spatial relation skills among other things. Poor kid.
• Also, Andrew's feet stink. He wore his sandals (which obviously need to be burnt) last night, and when he took them off, his feet stunk like nobody's business. We scrubbed his them (his feet not the sandals), but they still stunk. Gross? Yes, but he thinks it's hilarious. Boys.
• Well, that's about all I can think of that's of relatively little importance. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
