So once again, it's been awhile. So much is going on. There's 3 children...possibly. My computer crashed yesterday. My Mum is getting married...but you knew that. Second term of home school is finished. The 2 year old is gaining speech daily. We were under a tsunami warning.
So, my computer crashed. I was devastated! My whole life is on my computer and I was certain that my hubby had destroyed my life. Well not my life but all my business, volunteer business for the AFA BC, my personal business etc. All of my pictures of my kids are on here too! That was the part I was most scared of. I was terrified I'd lose all the pictures of my babies. But thanks to a local computer repair shop my 'life' was saved! I couldn't be more grateful. The young man came to my house at 9:30 this morning and returned my computer at 5:00pm this evening! And the price was so right. He did an amazing job and all my 'business' is fully intact. My computer is running better than it ever has too! So thank you for the fantastic service and wonderful job, well done!
My mum is getting married. I know I told you about that before. But it's getting exciting. Plans are moving forward and everyone knows their jobs and the food is pretty much all planned out. We're on our way. Mum's day is going to be beautiful, just like her!
So today we were under a tsunami warning/advisory. I wasn't worried about that too much because the big wave we were expecting had come and gone very uneventfully by 7:00am today. But what did and does have me worried is the cause of the tsunami warning. Japan got hit with an 8.9 earthquake today/last night. Devastating! Then a few hours after the tidal wave hit them, they had another 6.? earthquake. Those poor people. I've been praying all day for the Japanese and all who were there. I haven't heard about a death toll yet and I'm scared it's going to be very high. I know people are going to be devastated by the material loss (I would be too) but it's the human loss that has me upset. We can replace our material possessions but we can't replace our loved ones. So if you're reading this go gather your loved ones and hug them tight and tell them how much you love them. You never know when it might be the last time. Morbid, I know, but necessary. We don't tell our loved ones that we love them enough. Remember to do it daily.
On to something more pleasant. The second term of the school year has come to a close today. We have to hand in all our son's work on Monday. I'm so proud of my boy. He has worked hard and learned so much more than he would have this year if we'd left him in his public school. Now don't misunderstand me, we are not saying that the school was at fault, just that the system is lacking when it comes to varying the way they teach children who learn differently. Besides that aspect we've needed this year to help our son develop coping skills for his anger and frustration. Emotions that are triggered very easily for him. So we've got his emotions under control as well as his ability to recognize the signs they are coming and he can now remove himself from situations and practice his coping skills. I'm so very proud of him!
Maybe 3 babies. Our worker has informed us that there may be 3 little ones that could be a match for us. There is part of the birth family that is being studied but if that doesn't pan out the children's worker will contact our worker and see if we are a fit. So while I pray for the people of Japan, I also pray that these precious babies will go to the home that is best for them. Does it sound like my hopes are up? Nope they're not. I've been doing this a long time and I know that when it's meant to be it will be. I have learned how to stay firmly planted on terra firma.
Well, that's it for now. I'm off to have a nice dinner with my hubby and enjoy our quiet evening together.
Until next time...
