Should have done this Monday

I really needed to get on here the other day and get this done. The adoption is final! Yep, I'm an "official mom"! I've been so excited since Monday. I think we are both so much more relaxed. I know I am as far as knowing everything now is complete. I think P is more relaxed too, knowing that everything is final and he can now forever call this his home. However, who knew adoption would lead to the "tough" questions...lol! No grace period for me!!...LOL! Oh well, I was ready and we have had some really great conversations this week. Anyway, this has been the best week!! I'm so glad to finally have everything final!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM

Yep! Today is my mom's b-day. I've only gotten to talk to her, but haven't seen her. She's out on the "town" with "the girls" as far as I know. She's always been hard to track down...lol. Been driving around with Preston. Yep, he's started driving folks. He's been doing pretty good, but I'm also waiting for him to start "driving like a teenager" any day. Preston went and practiced with my mom last night, which was a surprise to me. She never went with my sister and I. Never really heard back from the "sweet man" I went out with recently. I'm pretty much thinking he broke his promise WE made, so that sucks. Not that I'm hurt or surprised....I'm neither. I figured it would happen. What is it with these men? I'm telling you!! I'm not a man basher, but I'm getting to the point I don't trust any of them. Sheesh!! I do have to say though that even though I haven't heard from him really again, it was a very nice day spent with his friends and son. I really did have a lot of fun.

CRAPPY NEWS!!!

Preston's adoption has been moved from this monday to next monday. I'm very bummed and haven't broken the news to Preston as of yet!

Allergy Update

Went to the allergy doctor this morning and my sinus infection is gone!! THANK GOODNESS! Doctor said everything looked and sounded good, so I guess I am improving! I still have to stay away from certain foods, but that is getting easier. I go back again in three months, so hopefully there will be even more improvement at that time. I also found out why some people are more allergic to cats then dogs (like me). I has to do with their saliva and a protein in it. The doctor informed me that since everyone reacts different to things, some people react more to cats then dogs. Plus the fact that cats lick themselves everywhere and most dogs don't is another reason. So again I say DOGS RULE!!

What a special person

I had one of the BEST days/dates I have ever had. Maybe I have said that before, but this time it's very true! Met someone about a month ago.. talked and spent time getting to know things about this person, and then finally decided today would be the day to meet. I have never been so nervous, excited, scared, happy, and enjoyed myself as much as I did today. There's not a lot I really actually want to share as far as details, but I will say this: The person I "went out with" is one of the most soft-hearted, kindest men I have met in a long time....maybe ever! He was very much a gentleman and set many of my fears about being rejected/dumped at ease right away. We made a promise not to hurt each other so I'm PRAYING that that still holds up on his end after today. Very scary for me to trust or start trusting someone after so much and rejection. Anyone who knows me, knows it won't happen on my end and that at this point I'm biting my nails I can begin to trust. In any event, the date/meeting was a wondeful day spent getting to know someone who was very sweet and treated me the way all people should treat each other!

Ten day count down

Yes I am counting down ten days...then Preston will REALLY be mine!!! You better believe I'm excited! I already cry just thinking about it. Of course he's been mine for over 2yrs, but this is going to make it official! My parents and I were talking to him about it the other night. I think he's excited too, but as a teenager doesn't want me to know it. Keep us in your prayers as we count down the days to the official day!
In other news summer is in full swing. I got some flowers planted the other day. Don't have a clue what I'm doing as far as what they need, but they look nice for now!...lol I'm figuring out I should've listened to my grandma much more then I did on flowers. She was always SO good raising them and making them look awesome! Other then that, I have been working a lot and of course sleeping little. Preston is taking driver's ed which I think he's excited about but again, doesn't want me to show! Actually, I KNOW he's much more excited about training for football this summer. Don't know how the kid's going to get up, but we shall see....lol! He's been working some this summer, so that is good for him. I didn't want him to get a "real" job this summer. He needs to just be a kid for awhile, but he has been doing some odd jobs. Seems to be enjoying them, but again....does anyone notice a pattern here with this kid??
My allergies suck! Just when I think they're going to get better the wind blows a 100mph for a couple days which makes everything go nuts! Sheesh....what's a sneezy girl to do? Continue with shots and sneeze as needed I guess......
