If I recall correctly there was a tv show on where the lead actress was to get a theme song and play it in her head. Well I always that it was a creative, cute idea but I never adapted one to my life. Here recently I was subbing at a school and the teacher played a video for the kids and the opening song had me bopping my head and tapping my feet. I soon was researching this new found song and cartoon. Some of you with young children might know of the show but I had never heard of it and now I am head over heels in love with it. The show is Peep and the Big Wide World.
Well the opening song is sung by Taj Mahal and it is the cutest song ever. It is my new theme song. Watch the video below to hear it.
So now every morning I wake up and play the song and it really sets my day off. Right now I can hear it in my head. I like the idea behind it….my whole world is in front of me to explore and see and it is waiting for me. Hope you enjoy!
I play it in class for the kids and now I am up and dancing and singing…they love it!
So as most of you know we have had our darling munchkin over a year now and I heard today that possibly in the next couple of months we could actually be beginning the “adoption” process. You can’t imagine the relief and joy and exhaustion I am feeling. It has truly been a long process and one I am so glad we took.
So for those that may be confused and thought “I thought you already adopted her.” We didn’t we were only her foster parents and adoption takes some time. It took longer than usual for us considering munchkin’s unique situation. But we hung in there…there is no definite time line but maybe just maybe by Christmas this year it could be all done. No guarantee considering we are dealing with the courts but progress has been made and in a couple of months we could have a more definite timeline. I am breathing a sign of relief and soon we could be a family and be done with all of this legal stuff.
It would sure be a relief not to have to do so much paperwork regarding parenting your own child. We have been blessed and every day with munchkin is indeed a blessing.
I leave with a picture of munchkin. Have a great day! Please continue to pray for us and pray for a speedy trial! This is a picture of her first time bowling…you can’t tell in the picture but I swear that ball must be going less than one mile per hour. That’s my baby.
Today I woke up and did munchkin’s hair. That took me some time as it always does but afterwards we were all hungry. (hubby, me and munchkin). So we all got changed from our pj’s and head to find some grub. We stopped at a seafood restaurant and had a nice lunch. I was feeling kind of dreary as hubby and I have been so sick all week. We have this ongoing cough that keeps us awake and miserable. We were suppose to go get groceries but I was not feeling it.
So I suggested stopping at a nearby park and taking munchkin to the playground. We stop and take her to the playground and she plays and plays. It was so windy and I want to use the word “delicious” outside. Hubby and I sat for a moment on a bench and watched munchkin smile and wave at us. She had a great time. I was glad we stopped and played with her.
I spent most of my weekend trying to help my sister plan her wedding which is in less than two months. So much to do and the Lord didn’t make me an octupus…but it is so exciting and we are all so thrilled to be a part of it. I can’t wait to see it all come together.
As most of you know my sister moved in with me June of 2007 with what was suppose to be a couple of months. It changed over time and I was all for it. Her and I get along great and are like the best of sisters.
Over the year plus she has grown into so much that her and I planned for and wanted. She has been working, finally got her license (Thank you Jesus!) I couldn’t be more proud of her. Well her boyfriend came over one day and had a ring and proposed to my sister. We are all so excited for her and in a matter of weeks she will be married and moving out of my home.
I am so going to miss her. I feel her and I have a very special sister bond and I am going to miss our late nights up watching tv and talking. It will be different with her gone but I am at peace I have passed on all I know to her and she is a different person because of it.
I wish her the very best and know she is on a path the Lord has set for her. Congratulations mija!
