Wir freuen uns, Sie in Paderborn zu treffen!

I was checking my sister's blog and was looking at pictures of Mason and Nellie. Eden saw them and proudly exclaimed who they were and a whole bunch of randomthingsreallyfast. Then I got this speech.

"Mason calls me Evee not Eden. That is because he has a friend Evee. Evee and Eden rhyme but the "e's" are smooched."

I have no idea what that means, but it seemed very important and worthy of recording. The word smooched was accompanied by a hand gesture where she closed her fingers onto her thumb with great elan.

Really not too much interesting going on. The kids have been alternately staying at different relatives houses and that makes our home a little quieter. Eric's new "surrogate son" Chris has been responding very well to a positive male influence. He's 15 and walks his siblings here for us to watch in the evenings while his mom works. He just stays then, which is a good thing. He is a very polite child who has been through a lot of "stuff." He just passed his eighth grade equivalency testing which will allow him to enter high school this year making it further than his father (who is incarcerated for life) ever did. He has so much potential and I am glad my boys and husband are influencing him positively. He has a GREAT mom, so I guess he doesn't really "need" me, but for an example of a complete family structure. Anyway, enough is enough. Chris, if you ever read this I am so proud of you and thank God that he brought you and your brothers into our lives. You teach us more than we will ever teach you. Be grateful for every day and thank God for each and every blessing, they are NOT small.

Flush up to 20 Excess Pounds out of your Colon!

All of my posts will be titled after my spam email. I get enough that I decided to have fun with it.

I will be posting here with things I wish to remember, but am sure that I won't because my mind remains focused only on things for 2 minutes before self destroying. Anyone who stumbles upon this who doesn't know me will be bored. Those who do know me will probably contact me with names of good therapists.

Enjoy at your own peril.
