Random thoughts

This may be a random, rambling post. We still haven't heard any good news about our adoption file. Insert scream.

A informed us the other day that her room is the warmest in the house because her floor is insulated with all her clothes.

Are you going to vote on Tuesday? I hear some people say they are not voting because it doesn't make a difference, they don't like either candidate, etc. If that's you, please read this; http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/TasteAndSee/ByDate/2008/3347_Let_Christians_Vote_As_Though_They_Were_Not_Voting

There are a few people out there who haven't decided yet who they are voting for. If that's you, or you just want to know what the candidates stand for, please read this; http://www.afa.net/08VG/index.html

I got to talk to J today. I sang him a song and he sang me a song. I noticed improvement in his singing abilities. We talked about him someday playing piano, playing soccer and riding a horse. He'd like to ride with R. He also said he's been reading a lot in school but he doesn't have a favorite book.

R had a rough day on Wednesday but took an off and on 2+ hour power nap on Thursday when she got home from school and is feeling much better. She really has never been that sick for someone with mono. She's not allowed by the horses though (doctor's orders) since her spleen could swell and rupture if she was bumped. She's not happy about that but we don't want her to implode.

R's bf bought a little old car today with high MPG's and sold the Jeep to a lady at church. So far, all parties are happy. We'll see how long that lasts.

R, bf and I were playing a game of Aggravation last night and A joined us about an hour later and nearly won the game. Twerp.

Mrs. H is supposed to be coming tomorrow. She is closing on her house here and will spend the night with us before she goes home on Tuesday. We're looking forward to her visit and are happy that she has sold her house. That's the change, subject to plan anyway.

My parents are in WI visiting family. Her brother turned 60 and they went up for the party. They left their dog here so we've been taking care of her. She's a good little dog but it makes me remember why we have big outside dogs, not inside dogs. BB misses her humans and would like them to come home. She does get a lot of company though.

T worked all day yesterday changing the spark plugs and wires on Flannery Vandango. He had to take the top of the engine off in order to change the plugs. Real smart planning there, Chrysler. He got it done though. There were three different kinds of spark plugs on it. Now there is a matching set of 6.

That's about it for now. I'm sure more will come to mind when I hit "publish post" but it will have to wait for a later post.
