Sunday Smiles

Wow! Another morning of up at 8:15, showered dressed and granola bars in the car, sitting on a pew by 9am. This in itself is astounding in that I went to bed at 4:40 am, awake in prayer all night. Kids had a real challenge with fear of the child care and sat with us at service. They are so challenging over childcare. We never really left them anywhere where or really with anyone for the most part. Only people we really know well and even that very seldom.
We thought they wanted to do a childcare in Dash's age group with a mutual friend(who is also adopted as is his sister) from school. Dash bolted afraid that the kid would not be there, but that little tidbit was left out of his ability to explain his fear until way late in the process of our attempts to encourage him to keep his word. Beauty then (after the assurance was given them both that we would come and double check on them to see if they were alright. Dash agrees sorta to stay then Beauty bolts. ) We are all, after all this, are sitting on the pew as a family of frustrated folks. listening to a great message on the Spirit within us (that choice of spirit) being our self control. We met the couple and sat with them who had the kid known to our children.
After services another woman approached me she had a son (who is also adopted) in Beauty's class at the elementary. She told me I could stay with Beauty and explained the Sunday school class to me. She introduced herself and I had her son at the rock museum the other day. I am begining to feel a little panicked. I am concerned about remembering all these people, so Beloved set up a text info file for me to make myself some notes of people/events and reminders. I so want to go run into my cave rather than be set up for more memory dysfunction humiliations. I have to face this fear in the eye and stand.
I was invited to join a cliq, It is a funny thing in that it is a Spiritually based bloggers "cliq". I'm still not quite sure what that is so "Hopeful Spirit" if your out there I need better understanding of what you have invited me into.
I just came back from making Taco's for the kids.
Beauty just came to me and apologized for running away from her actions. SHE ACKNOWLEDGED it!

I'm smiling!
That was a big step in the right direction for her.
Dash just came and after complaining about lunch apologized and asked me respectfully for what I offered, and how he might be of help to me.
Wow! O.K. I'm smiling now!

Time to SEW on, and on and on and on and on...:)
