An ordinarily bad day turned EXTRAODINARY.

My day started off doing the normal "pay day errands". We needed groceries, stuff to change the oil in my car, and of course food and treats for the babies. Today was suppose to be a very gloomy RAINY day for us so I wanted to get in and out and home before it got bad. People around here aren't exactly the best drivers and to my pleasure I got to experience that yet again. As I am driving down Skibo rd headed to Aldis a woman comes gliding through 4 lanes of traffic right on into my lane. I had to slam on my brakes in order to avoid hitting her and my wheels locked up on me. Then she gives me the middle finger (keep calm you love Jesus).

 
I get to the grocery store and things are copacetic. The sky's looking a little angry so I wanted to get in and out......didn't make it :(  just as I walked out the heavens opened up! I could barely see in front of me. I stood under the overhang for a second to let it sink in that I am about to be soaked and an older lady comes running up to the buggy return as I am opening my umbrella (it was raining so bad I knew that thing wouldn't help but I wanted to try) she patiently waits next to me and I ask if she would like to come with me to her car and she grabs my arm and nestles up to me and we walk out just as her car is being driven up by her daughter (Im guessing) she gives me a suggar and says thank you and I press on to my car. My umbrella turns INSIDE OUT and I get SOAKED! My pants had already been soaked (short people problems, everything's to long) but now I get to add "see through shirt" to my wardrobe for the day. And oh by the way I still need to make it to Walmart. People of Walmart here I come (*sad face*) Today is not my day! I grumble under my breath as I am desperately trying to heave heavy bags of groceries into the car. I run with the buggy to the cart return my foot slips and I run over my own big toe! SERIOUSLY! Today is NOT my day! Off to Walmart I go...thank God for waterproof mascara

Get to walmart and I have no clue what kind of oil filter or oil to get for the car but thank God they have books for that......wanna guess how that turned out?......NO BOOK in sight! SERIOUSLY!? Today is not my day! I wander to the TLE in hopes of seeing Bones there (family friend) and he surprise hugs me and comes to my rescue. We get the filter squared away but then he throws around "synthetic oil" and Im like HUH? Look here buddy my brain has no room to remember if we had synthetic oil in my car or not! My brain is packed full of science and medical stuff. So the games of phone tag to the hubby begin. 30 minutes later, 3 missed calls and me sitting in the middle of the oil filter isle of Walmart we finally get it squared away :) My car takes synthetic oil :) THANK GOD! I can go home now; put PJ's on, grab some coffee and a book and just relax....

I get home and start unloading the bags. The bag that held our newly bought oh so yummy smelling fabric softener BREAKS! TODAY IS NOT MY DAY!!!! The lid explodes and fabric softener goes EVERYWHERE in the driveway (*at least it was a heavenly smell right?*) I get to the door and I wave that white flag. Today is just not my day. I get in and put everything up. FINALLY I CAN RELAX. I flop down on the couch with my blanket and roku remote to enjoy some desperate housewives. There problems are so much worse than mine ;-)

I make it through one episode and my phones rings......its our social worker!??? IS THIS "THE CALL!!!" :) because I seriously couldn't take anything else today haha. After she asked how we were she says "Wellllll, I wanted to let you and Mr Jeremy know that you are licensed and we have a child for you, she will come to y'all tomorrow!" I tried my hardest not to cry. I really did. I think between the bad day and then this amazing news there really was no controlling it. Jeremy was on his way home from work and he walked in on the conversation. He had no idea I was on the phone with our caseworker and I was about to tell him hes gonna be a foster DADDY and oh btw she will be here tomorrow :) I rushed to the back door as he was coming in and every emotion you could possibly conjure up came pouring out in one. I cried, I shook, I think I forgot to breath a couple of times hahaha but its okay I didn't pass out although I was prepared for that. As Jeremy's confusion turned to happiness I watched a smile come over his face and tears well up in his eyes. We started making phone calls and texting those we knew were still in work and posted our PAPER PREGNANT announcement. WE DID IT!!! :-D

Here's to our paper pregnancy as we embark on this journey. I wish there words to describe how we feel. It it existed it would probably be a ridiculous word......something like "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" ;)  Thank you for the texts, posts, calls, comments and esspcially to my husbands unit; thank you for giving him tomorrow off so he could be here with me and to my Kaitlin; thank you for asking what we needed and coming to our aide without missing a beat! Just remember YOU asked and that's all that matters. Your the best reinforcement would could have; to my Cassi for grounding my emotions and oh so graciously welcoming us into the "sleepless" nights of parenthood ;) I LOVE YOU! and most especially to our kids future Godmomma; Taylor, your text couldn't have come at a better time, we hope you didn't break your other hip with excitement ;) hahaha thank you for bringing me Gods grace when my emotions were taking over me. Our story has just begun.......YAY!!! I'm gonna be MOM :) Who would have thought my ordinarily bad day would turn into an extraordinary day with one little phone call!
