Work

So here I am sitting in Nate's office at 8:30 at night typing this post. This is the only chance I have of seeing hubby during the week, and some weekends. The madness was supposed to be over last week, and when on Wed afternoon Nate showed up at 1:30pm I congratulated him on a job well done. Little did I know that 4 1/2 hours later it would come back to bite with a vengeance. He got a call saying that the specs of the requirement were being changed. WHAT!!!!!!!!! The only way I can think of to describe the situation is like this: The govt. wants you to build a float, they want you to build it in the shape of a car. They want purple and pink roses on the car evenly spaced, and they want the float to beep! beep! when it rolls down the street. After you have spent weeks waiting to hear the specifications, planning your float, doing trial runs, doing what they specifically wanted and are sending it in for demo testing, they tell you that they want the float in the shape of a corvette. They then tell you they want flowers of various colors all over it, and to top it off they want working windshield wipers on your float, and you have an extra 2 weeks to get it done. That is what working for the govt. is like. The plus side is they pay you very well for your trouble, but trouble it is.

The good news is, Nathan is the boss here and I can come and bring my rowdy, distracting, dirty kids. I can come and distract his employees, because they have to talk to me the bosses wife after all. I'm not cooking much because he wants me to bring him and the guys working with him subs, pizza, Mc'D's or whatever, so I pick up stuff for us all and join him here. He also let me stash the kids here one night last week while I went out for coffee with my girlfriends, so I don't have it so bad. And Saturday when he was done with work, we went to see Expelled and out to eat. I will admit to gaining 5 pounds though, right back up to where I was when I did that diet in the fall.(sigh) I am buying surfer shorts for a swimsuit this year. (not kidding)

The movie Expelled No intelligence allowed was definitely a good choice to see. I found it nicely done and so very interesting. They made some really intuitive correlations with the past, but I won't ruin it for you. It is a documentary type film, so don't go expecting to be entertained, it is more of a thinker film. It is very worth supporting. Orphans and Evolution are my soapboxes for sure, but that is for another day's post.

Oh!! A friend from church is adopting a toddler boy from Haiti. I am so excited for them, when I started this adoption process I felt that there would be at least 4 people in my church adopting from Haiti and a lot more from the community. It has begun.
