Okay court date is quickly approaching!!! Weight is quickly dropping!!! I am seeing a special doctor today to discuss a weight loss program which is what I need and something I am ready for. I need to be healthy.
So on a different and unrelated note: Gary completed, well almost, Mason's bunk bed or loft bed. Judah and him are officially in the same room!! Abby has a empty twin bed next to her waiting for sissy to come home. I can't wait to say "come on girls" "boys stop it!" ha, poor boys. They are like two lion cubs constantly rough housing. Abby joins in once in a while but is nowhere near as rough.
Mason and Judah apparently talked about body functions and while Mason dangled his toes from the top bunk Judah would bite them. I found this out early this morning. Another problem or challenge of them sharing a room is that Judah wakes early, Mason does not. Need I say more. I will figure it out though, this might be the thing that gets our lazy bottoms all out of bed by 6 am. (shiver) I will send pictures of the rooms complete when they are complete, I would love to share before and afters but the rooms are so horrible. So when they are done and the one second they are actually clean I will snap a quick photo of our hard word. I am also trying to save money. Gary and I are on the cheap train to getting out of debt and paying our houses off, I will make a debt ticker as well. But with that said it means I have to decorate their rooms for as cheap as possible. I will reveal my secrets when it all done.

Something Kid related
Well apparently Gary went to work yesterday and was sitting in the flight deck of the 757 and was going to eat a banana. Innocent enough right? Well he pulled back the skin and saw several small silver things sticking out. Upon investigation he realized they were sewing needles. He immediately began profiling this horrible person, it had to be a warped individual who would concoct a scheme of pain to his victim's at grocery store produce isles everywhere, maybe a ring of terrible practical joke players, then he realized it was Mason, our oldest son, yes he was apparently board and stuck sewing needles he found on my counter top into the bunch of bananas. Unsuspecting Gary then took a banana to work innocently enough and nearly bit into the pin cushion. Why?well would you if you were a 6 year old boy? He thought it was fun. Conversations you couldn't imagine having with your kids, even if you tried.
"Mason, it is not a good idea to put sewing pins in bananas or any other fruit, they could hurt someone if they bite into them"
The banana crime took place yesterday and Gary forgot to tell me of the other poor bananas, he did how ever remember today and called Mason from work, I was sick in bed, really craving a banana (just kidding) I was sick in bed, he made Mason throw the rest in the garbage while he waited on the phone, Mason came to me while I was in my sick stupor state and mumbled something about pins in a banana but to be honest I didn't pay attention until this eve when Gary told me.

So wrong but too cute!
Okay this is Judah, doesn't he look adorable? No I wasn't being mean or taking "teenage bribe pictures" you know the ones where you mom pulls out the most embarassing photos of you. No siree, this is Judah wearing the outfit that Nettie will be wearing for her embassy appointment, I had to try it one to see how it fit. It said 4 T but I think it will be fine for her. Doesn't he look cute? I know I am a mean mom.

Two weeks until court!! well almost.
Here is my plan, clean for the next 2 weeks, cook the third week, and just pack the following two. That is if I leave 3 weeks after court. If that is the case I only have 5 weeks until I hold my little girl!!! A million thoughts race through my head, like will she want to go with me being number one.
My kids are old enough to understand and enjoy this adoption, even Judah smiles when he sees her. I love it when the computer goes to screen saver mode and her happy face just appears smiling at me.
I received some brief information on her, she is smaller than Judah and her given birthdate will be April 2nd. So she is smack dab in the middle of my two youngest and I will always now have two of the same age and sometimes for a few months 3 of the same age, three 4 year olds, three 14 year olds. Oh my gosh, three 16 years olds and one 17 year old. oh my gosh.
I went thought my donation suite case and it is growing, I love it! Okay off to bed, very very tired.

Judah has had a speech explosion
Well my young son Judah has finally arrived. He is talking and a lot!
Tonight he told me " I just joking you, i just tending you" smiling his big charming adorable smile, what he said was he was just kidding with me and that he was pretending. I couldn't believe he was using those kind of words. Then later he told me "I got to the doctor and her fix my talk" pointing to his mouth, he said he didn't want to go to the doctor to fix his talk. I can only imagine he has heard enough from me telling his overdose story that he has finally made the connection that the surgery we had done has helped him hear and in turn speak. He is too cute and getting cuter by the minute. He listens to me sometimes now without the power struggles and is really starting to understand telling the truth! It is like a light is coming on and I am glad to see it. He argues like the dickens and tonight at dinner Mason and him were just going at it, I decided to be a good mom and quote the word of God about contentious men stirring strife, then they started to argue who was contentious, Judah even tried to say the word contentious. He is just becoming more secure and sure of his words and his voice, he is able to tell me things and is becoming increasingly affectionate. I am really happy. Pray that we don't have drastic set backs with Nettie. yikes.

Yahoo we got some news!!!
Okay we got a bit of news today about Nettie Grace, and several pictures!!! I couldn't be happier! She was wearing my little necklace I bought for her and bracelet and playing with the doll I got for her. It was so wierd to see my girl wearing the things I was able to have delivered to her. She also had a little doll with her that she must carry around, how cute. My Abby likes daddies hat, soccer balls and rainbows but not dresses and dolls. She is adorable and in 18 days I will post a picture of her. I think there is still more information on her coming, she is tiny, personable, smiley and comfortable with people. She looks like a size 3 t, so you can imagine. Okay off to bed now.
