I am looking forward to watching the Bachelor tonight! It is the only trashy show I watch. In fact, other than the office and glee, it is the only show I care to watch. It is horrible...like watching a car accident in progress...but you can't stop staring...
On another note...today one of my students said that they read this book in reading group while the substitute was here. I said, "Well, I'm back now. And I'm the teacher, so I guess we'll just read it again! :)" . One little boy said, "What were you doing while you were gone?". I said, "Well, some of you know. And it was up to your parents to tell you. So we won't talk about it here." and he said, "Were you on vacation?". And I said, "Well, no..". "NO!"...... I wanted to scream... I actually did try to rest, but it was not restful. I missed my boy! My heart was heavy for Africa. I was confused. No, I did not go on vacation, sweet child! I gave birth to my first son! (I wanted to ask if he noticed how I lost a bunch of weight while I was gone...)
Anyway...we are finishing up our homestudy process, and our heart are so moved for the children of Ethiopia. For the plight of the orphan. For the ability we have to give a home and a life to a child that otherwise would be without. We are SO EXCITED about that! This video will break your heart, even if you only watch a little bit of it. To know that we are a part of this big picture...it is AMAZING!!
Names are coming along....so I'll keep you udpated...
