This is a blog about me. My faults, achievements, life in general, and other things that go on. I had another blog about my short stories, I may have to reopen it and write again. So enjoy, cry, laugh or throw up. These are the days of my life.

The windows of Heaven have opened, and are stuck
I admit I am procrastinator and a horrible waiter. I hate waiting for things that are simple yet know somewhere there is an eternal concept I need to learn. I think it was back in May or June Chris had her IUD taken out so that we could try for another baby. And for the other reason that it was giving her pain. So we had been trying for these several months to have another little one. Well yesterday started out good. Then it just snowballed downhill for a while. We had some bills to pay, some house items we needed to feed gerbils, the cat, and just general stuff we needed. One of those was a home pregnancy test. Chris is a few days late from starting, so we thought what the heck we can do it sometime early next week. We got home, she grabbed it and went back to the bathroom and took it. We waited nearly 5 mins and we got the plus sign. That is good. I was also waiting on a call from my new work for an interview. No big deal we went down to the doctors office to have the test confirmed. It was negative. They basically rushed her in rushed her out with a negative result. We were crushed. I drove her to work, and went to go get the emissions and safety inspection on the van. It failed we knew it, but now we can go in and get a temp tag to last us until we can get what is wrong fixed. No big deal. I got home, still no call from my new work. I called them. They had already left for the day. As I said it began to snowball from here. Sitting for nearly an hour watching the news that had nothing but sadness and heartache, I grabbed Ben and we went to Walmart and took a walk. While there I was hoping to get my meds refilled. It now required the Doctor to see me to refill them. So now a week off the meds, I am lucky to be alive at this point. I was so upset, that Ben and I went to Chris' work, where more bad news. Chris mom has fluid on her spinal cord and has a slipped disk. So she is out of work for a while. I did the most wonderful thing I could think of. Call my Home Teacher and ask to go visit him. We sat and talked for an hour or so. It felt so good to sit and get my frustrations out and have someone listen and care. I went back to Chris' work feeling that the Lord does listen and is ready with those he has entrusted to do his work. Chris and I came home, put Ben to bed and we stayed up for a little while longer, played some games and then went to bed, read our scriptures and then fell asleep. We woke up early this morn to go back to another lab and retest the urine. They tested it and same result, and we told them that we had a positive result from a home one, so they went back and had a 2nd opinion look, and because they waited just a little longer, the second line did show up, showing that what we knew to be true. Chris is expecting. So we have a prenatal visit scheduled for later this month, but we know that the Lord had a hand in this. When we got back, I got a call from the bakery and I am set to interview Monday morn at 10:30. We told my MIL and she was pissed that now she has to pay for another child for Christmas. Chris and I have chosen that we are going to have our own Christmas here. We will still go by for Christmas dinner, but we need to stay here and have our own family time. Chris and I are also going to talk to the state and let them know about what my MIL is doing to the kids, and what their father hasn't done for them. And we are going to see about filing to get her younger two back to our home. It may be a long battle, but I feel and Chris feels the same way too, that they need the attention we can give them. Her oldest Zach needs more one on one attention and that is something we cannot give. He has so many issues that we just cannot control him with the others present. But getting the state involved and having them push to get their father involved and paying for his kids, may drive a stake between the two families, but it has to be done sometime. Well I have written a lot here and need to close. It's the little things in life that matter the most. It is also the simple things that make a huge difference in ones life. If it were not for Chris, I really don't know where I would be right now. If it wasn't for my membership in the church, I really don't know if i would be living right now. God has a plan for me, what it is or where it points me, only he knows and as long as I follow it, I will not go wrong.
