Not much

Not much is going on here today. R and bf had a date last night. They called for directions a couple times and then still got lost because they were talking. Goofy kids.

A has had a friend over and is now going over to that friend's house.

The driving (remember, A got her learner's permit) continues to be a hair raising and hair graying experience for all involved. She drove us to church and then home again today. It was T's first time riding with her. T and R sat in the back seats and gave her all kinds of directions and cringed as the side of the road came to close for comfort and yelled as A decided to swerve around a turtle at the last second and over reacted and over corrected. At one point T yelled get on the road and I had to remind both T and R that I was sitting right there watching very closely. I could grab the wheel if needed. She knows if I say to stop, she better stop. She knows that "ease up" means to let up on the gas and "slow down" means use the brakes. I assured them that "I've got this." They don't seem to believe me. We are all still alive anyway. I think when the kids get their learner's permits you should automatically be given a large magnetic sign that says "Student Driver". We do get a lot of strange looks from people as they pass us in a huff.

The "weight of the wait" of the adoption is starting to get me down again. We've heard absolutely nothing and it's so very hard. Please pray for us. I just don't understand why this has to be so hard.

Maybe I should do a thankful list. Let's see. I'm thankful that we are still alive even though A is learning to drive. I'm thankful for some rain that we had. I'm thankful for a quiet day to just hang out.
