Yummy yummy Blueberry Waffles for dinner.

YUM

There have been some great developments the last week. 

1st.  David's job may be straightening out.  There are still alot of things in the air, but God is really answering prayer.

2nd.  We had a great time with the boys grandmother, and she has recently told us that they would love to be a part of our family, be a part of the boys life, but let us have custody.  There is still a LONG row to hoe, so to speak.  They are going to pursue termination.  One of the hard parts of our situation is that she hasn't done anything overtly endangering to the boys, so they are going to terminate on in-stability issues.  We have been told that this is a much harder process, in which we will be subpoened and asked to testify.  (makes me a little nervous.) 

There were also some not so fun parts.  I had the strangest "episode" on Sat.  I was sitting at the computer and Trey comes in the room, "Mom, you have got to see this creature that Dad is killing!!!"  he means a bad guy on the x-box.  Very un conservative of me, I know. . . take it up with the Daddy.  ;-)  Anyway.  I get up to see this amazing creature, and daddy's awesome fighting skills, and poof, just like that, my mind is a clean slate.  I mean, CLEAN.  For a minute I had no idea who I was, who that cute baby was in the swing, nothing.  Then blinding pain, and nausea.  Then as quickly as it came, it went.  I was exhausted, and confused, but I could identify each child by name.  The rest of the weekend is sort of a blur, we went out with friends, which I sleep walked through, we went to a birthday party which my husband excused us from early.  But I remember alot of sleep.   My husband and friend convinced me to go to the Dr on Mon.  He diagnosed complex migraine.  Honestly I was just glad it wasn't a mini-stroke, or TIA.  Grateful too to know that the "malaise" which I would equate with a week without sleep, was normal and would pass in a few days.

Here are a few fun pics to catch you up on things here.  :-D  Gratefully David was too worried about me to snap a pic while I was "out of it".  A mercy for everyone.  ;-)
