The Princess woke up croupy. No church for us today. By the end of the day, it was obvious she was only getting worse, so off to urgent care we went. We pulled in just in the nick of time. As soon as the doors opened, the parking lot was covered in regurgitated food. Yuk! Not long after, armed with steroids and an inhaler, we headed home.

Memorial Day 2012 – Spend six hours at an appointment with the two younger ones for an evaluation. All a necessary part of the adoption as we move forward, but none the less, emotionally exhausting as well. We made it home to grilled salmon and grilled zucchini…awesome meal! The Good Looking One came over for a visit later, which always makes my day!

It was the Princesses birthday…ten years old. My how the time flies! I remember the day she was born and the first time we ever brought her home with us. She was just a few months old and I didn’t have any real idea of what her needs were. Several back and forth trips and now, hopefully, the adoption will be final before the summer is over! She requested grilled cheeese sandwiches and tomatoe soup. Home made tomatoe soup. (There are three foods I really don’t care to ever eat…lima beans, black eyed peas and tomato soup), but I made the soup and dipped the sandwich in it and smiled the whole time, because she was so happy that we had made her special request for her birthday! (Bboo shares my sentiment and forced the liquid down, too!)

Happy 20th anniversary to hubby and I! I spent some time this week sitting and remembering…I honestly can’t believe twenty years have gone by so fast! I also never would have imagined this wonderful, amazing life that we have spent together. And it’s a good thing we celebrated on the weekend, because there would be no celebrating on the actual day! Between work, court and dance, all he got was a text message. He, on the other hand, sent me a beautiful note, so he won the most romantic award for the day.

I honestly don’t remember it. I think it was because I slept through it.
Friday, June 1
Another busy day of work, appointments, various sport events for the kids, etc. A quiet moment with the Talented One while we watched a movie ended the day nicely! It’s not often we get to spend one on one time together!
Saturday, June 2
Errands, cleaning, grooming dogs, etc! Finally, a houseful of people and a game of Hearts and Mexican train with good friends, because after all…there will ALWAYS be time for a game of Hearts!
But the best part of the week?
The Drama Queen found out last minute she is singing tonight. She is usually pretty confident, but was completely unsure of herself last night. The Talented One called her downstairs to the piano to work with her.
Sometimes, certain memories just stick…you know it’s going to be one you won’t ever forget. As I sat there playing the game, I was able to completely keep my composure. But inside, I was choked up and melting as I listened to him playing the piano and encouraging her while she sang, “Lead Me to the Cross.”
It was beautiful.
My family. My life.
God is good.
