Weds Update

Well a lot going on this week. As you all know we are in the midst of a custody dispute over Olivia. We have mediation Friday and I am dreading it. Liv is my heart and having strangers potentially decide her fate is just wrong. Headaches and sleepless nights here because of it all.

John called with some unexpected news tonight. He recieved a job offer back in Charlotte. He seems excited about it and potentially being back with his parents and siblings. I on the other hand, selfishly, don't want him to go. Charlotte is a LONG way away and I don't foresee a long distance thing working. Especailly since I have ties that keep me here in Georgia with no possibility or desire to move to NC. We have here what you would call a quandry............Would it be wrong to say my life is feeling like a soap opera? Insert sad face here.

On a more positive note, I received a job offer for a position teaching 5th grade next year. I have another interview on Monday so hopefully I will have several options!

Church and Prayer Request

Olivia and I went to church this morning. That may sound rather mundane to most of you but I almost NEVER get to have her on a Sunday so it was a BIG DEAL for me! I am always amazed at how much she and I love doing these routine everyday things together that so many families take for granted. She is such an awesome kid! And to those doubters this proves that I am NOT a pagan! LOL! I do LOVE Jesus! On a side note, prayers for Olivia and I. This custody situtation is dragging on and on. We need your prayers to give us the strength to get through this. As you all know, I prayed every day for two years for this sweet child, and was lucky enough to be blessed with her. Every single day she brings joy into my life.

Parent Observation Day

Today was Olivia's parent observation day at her ballet school. I LOVE watching her class. There is nothing sweeter than a little girl in a tutu! Loser me brought my camera without the memory card!! Thus I had to rely on my CELL PHONE to take pictures. Not the best quality! Hopefully I can figure out how to get them from my phone to my laptop so I can post one or two anyway. Thank goodness there is no photographic evidence of ME dancing! Yes they made us dance!! Of course Olivia loved it!

Well I have officially gotten my mom addicted to scrapbooking! He he he! We went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and she spent DOUBLE what I did! I got some pretty cool stuff......some BG paper, ribbon, the usual! My BIG thrill was getting the new Basic Grey rub on tool! OMG! It is SO awesome! Way better than a popsicle stick! LOL! I would definately recommend it!

Superbowl Sunday! Go Patriots!!
