SLOW BOAT TO CHINA

That's the cruise the Putney family is taking these past SEVERAL YEARS. To add to the pile of stuff that is going on in my life right now, you know..... rain/windy weather, the crazy phone call about how my brother is dead, breaking an arm and a leg, and this is not to mention the crazy hectic life I already have with an almost 8 year old who has a super abundance of energy and who just simply can't wait for Christmas to come so much so that almost everything in her brain has gone out of the window, we get a e-mail from our home study guy Mike at 10:00 pm Sunday night stating that he needs some paperwork from us in order to complete our home study. The man came to see us way BEFORE Halloween and he is just now getting around to completing our home study by asking us to fax over more paperwork?! Lisa (Nathan's mom) said he is slow as they have the same guy for their kids but DANG ! I sometimes wonder if we will ever get to China. I think I can hear the Le Creme wine calling me. I think I will go answer it.

ANXIOUS

Mimi is so very anxious to get her cast off this Thursday that she could scream. She says that it is going to be a Christmas present to herself. May take her to see Yogi Bear afterwards to celebrate. I am so ready for it to come off too. That child (despite my warnings) is running everywhere in the house. I caught her jumping too. She soooooo needs to get back into the gym ASAP!!!
