A Nicer Post...

Well--I just took a look at a post I wrote earlier today--boy was I in a bad mood. It seemed entirely too mean, so I deleted it. I am determined to find a happy place now. So, instead of complaining and feeling sorry for myself , I will post a picture of my beautiful girls and breath deeply...

Silly Smiles!!!

Unfortunately, I haven't been taking too many photos this week, so an older one will have to do. This evening Big A suggested that we weed the flower beds and plant some flowers this Saturday-- maybe I'll get some photos then.

I have really got to get myself in a better mood. I just get so frustrated with all of the waiting and waiting with this adoption... Oh well, I guess it will all happen--eventually.

Little A came home this evening complaining of a stomach ache. She wouldn't eat and she just wanted me to hold her on the couch. I think she may be constipated. I hope that is all it is... I hope she is not getting sick. She ended up falling asleep on the couch... poor girl. I may have to keep her out of daycare tomorrow if she's not feeling better...

While her sister, slept on the couch, Big A took the opportunity to make some paper dolls-- lately, she has been drawing paper dolls cutting them out and pasting them on poster board so they will stand. She even makes the little foot stands for them. She has quite the collection now. Tonight, however, she decided she wanted to cut pictures of children out of catalogues and make a "paper doll baby school" I gave her some Pottery Barn Kids catalogues to cut up. Pretty soon she had a "whole class of babies". She also cut out several room scenes for the back drops. She wanted to paste them all to poster board tonight, but it was bedtime so I told her we could do it tomorrow. She actually didn't put up a fuss. I think she enjoyed having some quiet time to herself tonight. Usually Little A is trying to steal the scissors, draw on the paper, or find some other way to generally annoy her big sister.

Well, it is getting late. I need to get to bed. I feel better tonight than I did earrlier today. I definately think I'm PMSing! :)
