My Momma said,"there'd be days like this"!

This was a day that I just wanted to pull the covers over my head, and pray for tomorrow to come. Knock, knock, ding dong...are you here tomorrow? Please? Guess that tomorrow didn't answer and I had to face the day some more. Alan and I enjoyed our little cup of coffee before he headed off to work and me to that bike just screaming for attention...then the fun began. I will spare you the details, but it was a very challenging morning, I look back and try to figure out why? I came up with one good reason, the feelings of being unsettled, hopes, dreams, wishes...wants. I give that all to you Lord, take those worries, those fears, those concerns and help me focus on the now.

This is a little list of the challenges that I faced this morning, yet minor but all very eventful...

-My camera not responsive to the computer

-My computers disk drive not reading disk

-My scanner that I have had for years and promised Papa I would scan his slides is not working at all.

-My daughter having and accident on Grandma's chair, thank goodness she throws the cushions on the floor.

-My daughter freaking out about having and accident.

-The 5th of insurance bills on our vehicle, just for moving. No kidding...every other day we get a little bill for this or that. It cost 12.00 just to say that we would not have Momma and Papa drive our cars, hello we are adults (oh ya, but living with our parents). Believe me I made a phone call and no more bills will be coming.

-And the list continues...

Well to change the subject, Bryce and I decided to get a few errands done and we ended up at Target in San Dimas. That is the closet one and I hate it, its only temporary so that is fine. As we were cruising the pull up isle, Grandma Midge came from behind us. What a wonderful surprise. We shopped together and that's where I bought Bryce her little paints and brushes. Grandma Ginny has all of this stuff, but Bryce had been busy at them and they needed to be replaced. After we finished shopping, Grandma Midge invited us to lunch, oh what a treat and a so needed one. We had such a great time, even though it was hard to hear because the restaurant was so loud. Thanks Midge for the great conversation, the wonderful meal and for being such a great grandma to Bryce.

After Daddy came home from work, Bryce was so eager to paint with him on the deck. The perfect spot as Bryce would say.

I can't even tell you how blessed and content I feel with this little one. Yes, there are days that I still wish for more babies (adoption is always there). But let me tell you how completely blessed I feel with Bryce. There are hard days where we are trying to figure out each other and face new challenges, but we do it with the help of God and each other. I love being the Mother, the friend, the teacher, the playmate, the listening ear and all the other roles to Bryce that I am. I am beyond in awe of our miracle. Thank you, Lord! Grandma Midge bought this huge coloring book for Bryce at Target today. One of my fond childhood memories is that of a huge coloring book that my Grandma Miriam had bought for me (oh how I so wish that I had it, I would give anything). It was taller than I was and it was in the backyard waiting for me to give color to it's pages. Thanks for the wonderful gift Grandma Midge, Bryce is enjoying it so much.
