Review of last months goals & December goals

Last month I jumped on the bandwagon with the November goals. I had set three goals:
1) Not stress about the thanksgiving at my house
2) New header
3) Having Addie completely potty trained.

Results
1) There was stress, stress from hurt feelings
2) I did it & I love it
3) Well...we're still working on it, but making progress


December Goals: Three worked well last month so we'll stick with it

1) To fully enjoy the season of celebrating Jesus' birth, it's so easy to get down about not being able to buy all the things for all the wonderful people in our lives but that's just not what it's about, but I still out for one day where I can bless everyone with gifts.

2) Last year we did advent activities every day, this year Alex and Livi are playing basketball so I wasn't planning every day and now we haven't done one advent activity. So goal #2 is to give grace & know the teaching and showing love towards others is more important than the to-do list

3) To really look towards Him, I've realized the last few months I have allowed the ugliness of feeling left out to eat at my heart which just brings out the worst in me. I want to keep reminding myself that I am whole in Him and that who I am doesn't come from others

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"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...
