somewhere in la-la land…

…is where I’ve been lingering. I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged but I can’t focus on anything. Especially when it comes to writing something that sounds at least half way intelligent.

frustrating.

But here are some things that have been going on in the past few weeks…

- The job hunting process has begun for John since he got laid off. We’re taking it one day at a time. He’s been able to fill out a lot of applications on-line which is good because it makes the process a little easier. He’ll continue to fill out apps as we wait and pray.

- I got a call from Adam’s teacher the other day telling me that she was concerned about him. He’s starting to regress in some areas in school, and with his speech. It’s very concerning for us because he’ll be starting 3rd grade next year and the work will just keep getting more difficult. We’re gonna do whatever we can to help him get through all of this. This is something I’ll blog more about at another time.

- My nephew Connor who was staying at The Center for Drug Free Living, ran away from the facility on Monday. Since he was court ordered by a judge to stay at this place, he’ll have to go before a judge again when he’s found. Which means there’s a very high chance that he could go to jail. Nobody has any idea where he is or what he’s doing. We’re all very worried about him.

wow. that was just a big clump of bad news.   But they’re my prayer requests so I thought I needed to get them out there. A huge thank you to those of you who are already praying. 

I promise I won’t write anything else depressing…

- The last day of school was Wednesday. So summer has officially started and the boys are already getting on each others nerves. They love each other but dang they fight a lot! OK, so maybe that’s a little depressing for me.

- Speaking of the boys fighting… They’ve shared a room for awhile now, and it worked out good because we were able to make the other room into a playroom. BUT, they were in bunk beds and it took them forever to fall asleep at night because they would talk to each other. Sometimes it would be 3 to 4 hours until they finally zonked out. So we figured it would be best to take apart the bunk beds and let them have their own rooms. I think since they’re so far apart in age that they really need their separate spaces.

Oh and as we were pulling out the bed to gather the random things behind it…we found a chicken nugget with a small bite taken out of it. A chicken MCnugget to be exact. Sneaky little boys, I tell ya.

- I’ve been doing a lot of projects around the house. Like cleaning out closets and drawers. Its been going alright except for the fact that I  have a very bad habit of starting something and not finishing it. And then I just get mad at myself for being such a scatter brain.

- I had to say bye-bye-for-now to some of my favorite shows that had their finales. The Office, 24, and LOST. But the premiere of  So You Think You Can Dance came on so I’m a happy camper. And oh. my. gosh. the LOST finale was amazing. I can’t wait for next year. I’m glad that my brain has time to recover as I wait for the last and final season. Maybe they’ll finally explain why Richard wears eye-liner. hmm…

- We decided to look at some old home movies of when the boys were babies. I have like 20 videos of Adam….most of which are 15 minute segments of him eating an ice cream cone or just staring at the camera. Then as we were gonna look at the ones of Barrett, we could only find one. Yes ONE. All the little moments of baby Barrett wrapped into one video. I feel like such a loser!!!!

I do have tons of pictures of him though. (that I still have to put in scrapbooks)

Anyway. 

I’ve rambled on long enough. I feel somewhat caught up now.

I guess I need to go bust out the video camera so I can redeem myself.

adios.
