and the results are.....

wonderful! it's been removed completely. no follow up surgery. god is wonderful!

hi. my name is heather. and i am addicted....

to ebay.

i fell prey to the online mega yardsale in it's early days. i had let go of the obsession for many years until i realized how freaking expensive didj games are and that they NEVER go on sale.

oh how i have fallen off the ebay wagon. and hard.

in one week i have purchased the following (and by one week, i really mean 3 days):

• 6 didj games
• a lot consisting of 20 picture books
• a lot consisting of 40 chapter books for ages 6-10
• a lot consisting of 32 judy blume and beverly cleary books
• 8 magic tree house books

i am currently bidding on 8 more items (mostly tori amos and leap-pad stuff) and watching 6 other items (more books, more tori, and more leap pad).

i need EA (ebay'ers annonymous) and fast.

on an extremely happy note our little ones finished school today. both passed with flying colors! little man is actually on grade level, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! he was on a 1st grade level when he started this year. he ended 3rd grade on a 3rd grade level and we could not be happier and more proud!

ladybug is reading on a 4th grade level. what a way to enter 2nd grade! and as i type all this i realize i am becoming one of those parents. considering where the kids came from and what they've been through, i think they totally deserve one of those parents anyway!!!!

i can't wait to see what summer brings us!

so mote it be

god grant me the serenity to make it through today.

just for today:

i will work honestly

i will be kind

i will not anger

i will not worry

i will be thankful

5 years and counting.....

i love her more and more each day.

blogless

there is so much going on right now that i don't even know where or how to begin. everything seems chaotic, uncertain. from my summer work schedule to where the kids will go to school next year. nothing is definite yet.

and i hate that.

i can admit without shame that i am a bit of a control freak. no, i don't need to control others but i sure as hell need to know where i need to be, when i need to be there and what i'll be doing.

i couldn't answer any of those questions right now.

so i'm going to resort to what i do best at times like this: daydreaming and internet shopping and daydreaming about more internet shopping. well of course in between trying to the best mom and wife i can be :-)

the little needle that i love....

i wish i could've kept it. the needle that helped to determine if it is breast cancer. it isn't. we were one of the lucky ones. it's one of three non-invasive things and will be removed from our lives in 26 days.

i pray for those who haven't gotten news like this, i thank god every day that she did, and make sure i hold on to her even tighter.

i am so obsessed

i can not stop watching this damn movie! i love it. i am also currently reading the book. and it's not so much the movie, book or story i'm obsessed with - it's savanah herself. could i really be a southern girl at heart? southern hospitatlity and grace with yankee street smarts and political views? is that possible? i think i would even be able to stand the summer heat just knowing i was surrounded by her beauty and mystery. i can not wait to go back!
