Quick update

Life has been somewhat of a soap opera around here, it has been disquieting to see up close and personal the consequences of poor choices and sin. It is a helpless feeling to know that all you can do is release people to God. I know that is supposed to be all we do anyway but I have the tendency to want to make people do the right thing. Yes I am still working on giving up control.

I had all the ladies from church over at my house monday night for our ladies night out. Our church is not that large and all did not come since it was raining but we probably had close to 20 here. While I was scrambling to get things ready Luke had been pestering me and driving me to the cliffs of insanity with his youthful boyishness. I was about ready to strangle him when he came running into the kitchen:
Luke: Mom I want to be a rock star,

Me: uh huh

Luke: Mom I want to be a rock star, but I don't have what it takes.

Luke: I DON"T HAVE WHAT IT TAAAAAAAKKKKKEEESSSS!

Luke: Why don't I have what it takes?

Me: I don't know, you just don't, get out of the kitchen.

It was pretty funny and I had to laugh because I couldn't imagine where that came from until I heard some song they were listening to that said "I want to be a rock star"

No news on the adoption front, and one more pound bites the dust. (5 lbs.to go)

I gave up on my dream of being a rock star a long time ago. I'm still trying to let go of the one of me as a super model. I just haven't faced the facts "I DON"T HAVE WHAT IT TAAAAAAAKKKKKEEESSSS!"

BTW -- I'm gaining all the weight you're losing. Stop the madness.

Jacque,

You are so stinking funny. Almost as funny as Cat -- but not quite. Keep on trying. :)

And Siter, I've seen photos . . . you do not know what weight is!

Dreams....I wish I were motivated to be a better housekeeper. Don't want to be huge and famous...THAT'S a lot of work....just more organized and ready for drop-in company at any given time. Oh, and a productive and weedless garden and pleasant yard too!

Hope you got your request where that pound came from!?! lol
