Faithful Mommy

Wonderful World

Two of my little grands were here this morning, so I thought I would video tape them dancing to music from my ipod. They were dancing and laughing and basically looking adorable - until the camera came out!! They wanted me to hold them and dance with them in my arms (which we usually do.) I said "no,no Mia wants to tape YOU dancing." Nope! They started crawling up my legs like the floor was on fire!.

I finally turned off the camera and did a little jig with one of them, but not good enough. They wanted me to hold them both and all dance together. Since I have a broken arm at the present time - no can do!! So, what does a good Mia do? I sat in a kid chair with a kiddo on each knee and we wiggled and waggled and bounced!!

The song ended. The next song..."What a wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong!

Indeed!

 

Adoption finalization and unbridled excitement!

A little late update for you. Our adoption of Little miss Six was finalized in Dec. I know, I said it was late!

We were a bit concerned about Six because the social workers would be there. She always became apprehensive when we had a visit from them. For her, they represent people that could change your life in a heartbeat. She preferred to ignore their existence. So we knew seeing them in the court environment with so many new people around could potentially freak her out. She was her usual self - she ignored them.

She even ignored the interpreter and the Judge!! The interpreter was not impressed (she did not know Six), the Judge just laughed. Little Six just wanted to be done! Thankfully, it is a quick process. Everyone asked if we were going to celebrate. Nope!! We did the only thing that would make Little Miss Six relax and understand that her world was not changing. We took her to school!! She was thrilled. For her that represented a normal day. Normal is good!!

This you must see!

I saw this here

Around and around she goes...

where she'll stop, no body knows! Ha! That was my day yesterday. My grown son PB had knee surgery a week ago. Yesterday was to be his "wound check" follow up. Seems simple enough. We got to the office building and I realized that my older daughter CL was also in this building for a prenatal visit. Soooo, up I went to the sixth floor to visit with her while PB was waiting for his appt. I was thiiiiissss close to watching the ultrasound when I had to run back to the first floor for PB's visit. Well, turned out PB has a blood clot in his leg - not good. Now, he heads up to the third floor for his ultrasound. I head up to the sixth floor again to get an update on CL. the big news - it's a boy!! Now, time to head to the third floor just in the nick of time to see his ultrasound. His brought the confirmation of the clot. Boo!! Now, back down to the first floor to the original Dr. and then he sends us through the tunnel to the hospital. Whew!!

I looked like a crazy women running to and fro. If it weren't so serious,it would have been comical.

To liven things up a bit... we were visited by a nurse trying to impersonate a doctor. Interesting. The elevator door closed ON ME. Embarrassing. The tech that did PB's ultrasound had the personality of a shrew. We got lost in the tunnel to the hospital and walked an extra two thousand miles!! Easy for me, not so easy for Gimpy.

Ahhh, A day in the life.

Well, here I am again. I took the blog vacation by the horns and shook 'em around until I was tired, yet had so much more to say!! LOL! I hope you will join me as I rediscover "Faithfulmommy." It should be fun. I have oh so much to tell you. Umm, you may want to sit down for a spell! Thanks for coming along!!
