No Court Date

is the word we got today...waiting on some paper work...so the insanely hard and emotional wait continues...if someone has any extra strength could you send it my way as mine seems to have left the building...

Good news is Ade is healthy again and doing better!!! This has us feeling relieved. We are happy beyond happy that he is fighting to stay healthy but what we really want is for him to be here with us where we can watch over him and care for him and be the ones to comfort him.

Our Boy is a Fighter

We found out this afternoon that our wee boy was in the hospital again over the weekend.

Fighting pneumonia again.

He is a fighter! Our boy is a fighter.

We are told he is doing well since he got his meds and is now back in the foster home.

But we are worried and scared.

This is why I have been such a basket case lately (if you hadn't noticed)!

Since the first time we found out he was in the hospital back in August...his getting sick again has been a constant worry.

Our wee man is tiny! He is 10 months old and weighs around 15lbs...tiny!

But he is a fighter!!!

My anxiety level is now absolutely operating at LEVEL 5! That is high! Right Sandi and Cheryl!

We have been told court application has been made! This is good!

What would be even better is an actual date. We may have that too....but they aren't 100% on that so won't commit...

WE. NEED. A. COURT DATE.

Please!!

Our son, our little fighter...he needs to be home with us.

Can Someone Tell Me Why...

...when you do your best to park in a grocery store lot (insert any parking lot you want here) in a stall as straight as possible..some turkey has to wing in beside you (while you are in the store) and park willy nilly on a crazy angle. In doing so, they park so close to your driver side door making it impossible to open...let alone get into your car!!

Why. Would. You. Do. This.

Seriously..I am in a mood people. Don't you know that! A MOOD!

It is a good thing I wasn't there when they parked or I would have given them the look...you know...

THE LOOK!

It's true - I would have!

And then I would've walked right over to the passenger door and crawled across the seats to prove my point to you!

Sheesh!

Ah ha ha ha

I found the cure to what ails me...

...and it's called the XYLOPHONE!!

Seriously, I didn't know what sweet, sweet notes could ooze forth from this musical invention.

Until tonight when we went to see the Afro Cuban All Stars!

All that lovely, latin jazz had us groovin' and shaking our money makers to the beat of the drums.

But it was the Xylophone that got me from the moment it said "hello"!

Since there aren't many folks who play the xylophone I figure I could be the next big sensation!!!!

I think people around the world will pay money to see me plonking away.

What? It could totally happen...you are laughing now but you won't be when you see my smiling face on the T.V. as I give Gloria Estafan a run for her money!

Humour me people - I need to have a little something to take the edge off!

*Edit - I didn't really buy a xylophone and am not likely too..I'll stick to my day job..it is in everyone's best interest :) but I tell ya, I just didn't know the xyhophone could sound so good mixed with the Cuban beats. It really was cool.

O.k. wait - I actually might buy one Xylophone! This one for Ade:

How cute is that!!! Thanks June for the link.
