New Blog Spot

Several times I had started a blog, but I never really had too much to say, or at least nothing anyone wanted to hear. Since I have discovered that myspace.com will only keep xxx of blogs I have decided to post somewhere that they can be kept. It will be nice to have them to look back and reflect upon.

I have to say that my wrists are not hurting much anymore and my throat feels fine. I was so happy to talk to Matthew today and tell him my story of finding my birth family. It was just a little over a month ago that I found Matthew's birth mother for him. They met and it has turned out to be a wonderful and positive experience for all of them. I sweated through the entire thing, but it worked out well. Jessica and Matthew are going up to Franklin, TN in two weeks to meet Melanie's sisters and Melanie can finally meet Jessica.

I hate to admit this but I am dreading Mackenzie's game tonight. I hate it when the games are at 7:00. We don't get home until almost 9. Lee can't attend the game and it makes it hard on me. Jackson wants to run all over the fields and I am just worn out. I didn't get all of her stuff together before we left the house so after I pick them up we're going ALL the way home and then ALL the way back to Destin. I don't mind it because it helps me kill 2 hours. Mackenzie asked if I would get her some french vanilla ice cream. With her smile who can resist?

I didn't mention much about Jed yet, but now I'm feeling better. It was so great to talk with him. I spoke with his mom, Maggie, first and she was incredibly sweet. She was so easy to talk to and I am so thankful for her attitude. She knew about my existance from the start of her relationship with Brad. Jed got on the phone and I got to know a little bit about him. We didn't have too much time, but it was still a nice conversation. He will be 22 this month. He was a little shocked to find out about me, but it was in a good way for him. I can't wait to get to know him more. I am wondering if the tatoo gene just totally missed me. Every single one of the biological siblings have tatoos I think (well, I'm not sure about Kristan). I obviously did not receive the same tolerance for pain that the others have.

Jed lives in Iowa and I have no idea how he can stand it there. I think it's freezing at 40, that I can't imagine dealing w/ snow and other sub zero temperatures. I will not be visiting any one during the winter who lives in Ohio or Iowa. My body cannot and will not be able to handle it. I think I would go into shock. No, I know I would.

Lee was such a sweetheart and had lunch for me and Bonnie and I went to pick it up. I have not eaten dinner since Saturday night and I think I've only eaten lunch maybe 3 times this week. My appetite is feeling the effects of all of this excitment in my life. I was starving after I got of the phone w/ Tabitha last night but I couldn't find anything to eat that I didn't have to cook. There was no motivation. So I did my Sudoku puzzles and went to bed. I slept like a baby until Jackson decided to be ontopofmyheadjustlikethis. Mackenzie came in at some point and we all ended up on the same size of our king size bed. What is the point in having a king size bed if we all end up on one little sliver of the bed? Beats me.

My mom sent me an email today, it was short but it was so kind and meant the world to me. I love you mom, don't forget that no one or nothing will ever replace you, dad and Elizabeth. I love you more than anything in this world. Even though I have loved "meeting" my birth family and I like them, I would not change my life for anything. It has made me who I am today.

I would put more, but Mackenzie's after school program at the church just called and she has a fever of 100.9. She's got a headache. AND she lost another tooth. That girl has got to slow down. She sounded so pitiful but was so well mannered and said yes ma'am to me twice. So I'm off to get her and I hate to say this, but it got me out of her soccer game.
