"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
Aww your dog makes such a cute noise when drinking haha!! =) Ok I will also add at first I thought you said daughter and was totally confused LOL.

I think coffee is one of the most popular things being mentioned on all these vlogs! I don't drink it but I know that's not normal! :P
ReplyDeleteAnd baby wipes definitely makes sense as one of the most useful things every day when you have a baby!
I love the #SheReadsTruth devotionals as well! The current one is particularly powerful. So nice to "meet" you!
ReplyDeleteShereadstruth! Yes!! (And you don't look like a scary monster at all!)Glad you linked up!
ReplyDeleteCoffee :) Always a good choice! And I have that exact same journal!! Did you get it at Target? I love it! Great video :)
ReplyDeleteYes I did! I've seen the journal a lot on instagram for the ladies doing shereadstruth
DeleteShe Reads Truth has been really great, hasn't it? Especially with coffee! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect together!
DeleteLove your coffee cup! I love coffee but am on strict decaf for right now (I'm nursing). I need some cute mugs though! Where did you get yours? & You're so right about She Reads Truth! I love it! I haven't been very involved this last reading plan and I'm feeling it greatly in my daily walk. I like you're messy bun!
ReplyDeleteMy husband found that coffee cup for me and I believe it was from TJMaxx. Sad to say this is the first time I've really stuck to a devotional and I grew up in church. Thanks I pretty much rock the messy bun daily.
DeleteThank you so much for linking up--you do not look like a monster you crazy lady. i also love that we got to hear your dog in the background :) you did great!!
