LOL at frosts my cupcakes, Sandy you are so funny, and Christina you have said open a can before and I nearly choked with laughter
Donna- it will be ok, just try and relax as much as you can and trust that God is working on your side. You are a BRILLIANT mother and wife and God knows that and so do we!

Yes, I know God is in control. It's just so hard to see how He's going to work it all out, KWIM? But as we were talking about at Bible study last week, if we knew how it was going to work out, we'd only mess it all up anyway.

Donna, we have had CPS called twice (once by a doctor for refusing treatment which we did). They closed both cases as unfounded both times. Believe me, It won't come back to haunt you. If the caseworkers who were working with against us us on our adoptions could have used that against us, the would have, but they never knew about it because the only way it can be used is as a point of references as a pattern if they ever did find abuse or neglect, otherwise it is like those files never existed.

No, they don't ask if you have ever been reported. They want to know if you are currently the subject of an investigation or have been found guilty of abuse or neglect.

(((Donna)))
You ladies crack me up with your sayings...love it!
I am so glad to be home though I did have a lot of fun on the retreat. This their 3rd year doing this retreat which they call Generation Now and it is a new ministry the GA District is starting for women 20-30ish because they realized this age group was not getting ministered to like they should. I definitely know that I am not a woman who likes or enjoys being away from her family for even one night. Don't get me wrong I had a blast and I am glad I went. But, I was so ready to get back to them. The retreat was a lot of fun and my scrapbooking workshop was a hit. They have even asked if I would be interested in doing it again. The speaker was really good! Her name is Jennifer Spivey and she spoke on Esther which she has also written a book about as well. Well I need to go get ready for church so I will talk to you ladies later. Have a great day!!!

Chelle, I am like that too. One almost needs a crowbar to get me away from my family for a day and it doesn't happen for overnight unless I am with Russ and I usually end up IMing with the kids before the night is over.  Poor Donna, I think she has been working on me for years now. She has gotten me to agree to taking a day off when I am recovered from my health issues.

I believe that I need time away from my family also. Even if its a trip to the grocery store without the kids. It does help me at least. I went away for two weeks in January not by choice but because my aunt needed help but by then I was chomping at the bit to get home. She wanted and needed me to stay longer but I just couldn't do it. She understood but I still felt bad.
Does any one ever feel like they need to be in twelve different places all at once?? My mom claims that she can't get along without me, my aunt and cousin need me to be near them to help with my aunt, my Bil and Sil said that they need some help with hubby's mom and hubby's grandma needs someone to take care of her she doesn't want to go into a nursing home but she is getting where she cant live alone, and of course hubby and kids need me. It makes me sad to know that so many people need and want my help and there is not anything i can do about it.
Oh well sorry for the long post.
Chelle glad you had fun at the retreat and your scrapbooking went so great. That is great they asked if you wanted to do it again.

Russ' Aunt Shirley really needed us way more than we could help so we bought house big enough for her to ive with us. The plan worked better than we had imagined because since then my mom and brother has also moved in. If ya can't be in more than one place at a time, then bring all the places to you.

yeah, there is that. LOL. I really am intending to do that though. I think that it will be fun. I must admit that it does make me feel edgy if I think about it as time away instead of just visiting.

okay girls..this thread is getting waaayyy too quiet.
What's going on with everyone?
Sandy
not much.....yet another quiet day here at home doing not much of anything. Let's see...so far the highlight of my day has been...pulling off the pedals of the roses Paul got me last week (so they can dry out...I save all the rose pedals he gets me and use them as potpourri). We watched "The Truman Show" on tv....that just went off. Paul is folding laundry now...nothing much to do. House is clean (not "in-law visiting" clean, but clean and doesn't really need to be cleaned...except the cars in the middle of Jack's floor). I am bored bored bored. I finished the project I was working on the past few days (a wooden block calendar that I painted to match the kitchen). I really hate being so pregnant that I can't move or breathe...makes life really dull and boring. I would love to be out working in the garden, but unfortunately I can't handle that right now. I could barely handle getting on (and off) the floor to organize the dvd's and vcr tapes earlier today.

We're going to the hardware store later today for drywall and lumber for the wall my dad's building for us this week for the baby's room. So I'm waiting around for that!

If anyone is curious what Nick ate over the weekend... 
5/16...biscuit, sausage gravy, hashbrowns, milk, 2 chocolate chip cookies, 3 freezer pops
5/17...banana, cereal, milk, yogurt, movie popcorn, fruit snack, soda, ice cream (he had a movie/ice cream date with Grandma and Grandpa...I promise that is not his usual lunch  ), ham sandwich, animal crackers, 5 freezer pops
5/18...cinnamon roll, banana, milk, apple, brownie (church cafe), pb&j (his fave), carrots and dip, yogurt, chicken sandwich (chicken breast...the good stuff...not deli meat), peach, peanut butter crackers, 5 freezer pops
That doesn't count any juice or water...I could never keep up with that consumption! LOL I also just realized we were almost completely devoid of veggies this weekend, which is not normal for us, but there were not good sales last week, so I didn't buy much. I also didn't feel well a couple nights and Brian was occupied in the garage all weekend, so we went with simple and easy for Mom.
We definitely fed him this weekend (as opposed to all the ones we haven't, I'm sure ). He actually ate more than he usually does, because he was outside running around except for today (rainy).
