"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)

Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!

Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23

Ok…..so here’s the run-down: (Part 1)

We dropped the kids off at my sister’s house at around 8am.

My brother-in-law walked all the older kids to the bus stop (Ana included).

We said good-bye to the babies & headed out the door.

I suggested to Dave,
“Let’s try to catch Ana on her way back to their house so we can say goodby.”

My brother-in-law was running up the road,
but NO ANA WAS IN SIGHT!!!

Rolling down the window, I said, “Hey, aren’t you missing someone?”

His response????

“Well, she wanted to go to school, so I let her!”

HUH???


We kept driving, & sure enough, we never saw her. After a few minutes of driving, I decided to call my other sister, who was with my mom & tell them the latest GOOFY, completely out of left-field thing my brother-in-law had done. (Not that he’s given to that kind of behavior often-but every once in a while-you just never know with him!!! Sorry guys, if you are reading this!)

After about 5 minutes on the phone with them,
I get a beep through from my sister watching the kids.

I thought, “She’s calling to tell me she has to go to school & get Ana…..
who is sitting in the office forlornly by herself.”
(They wouldn’t have let her stay, would they????)

I am also thinking, “This will COMPLETELY turn Ana off of public school FOR LIFE!”

So, instead, my sister asked, “I was wondering when Natty can have a bottle next.”
Baby Bottle

WHAT?!?!

My daughter has been sent to school……& that’s all that you can say????

After answering her question, I nonchalantly asked her,
“So is my oldest daughter on the bus to school?”
Bus Moony

To my surprise, she said, “Ana is right here with me!”

Again, I think, “WHAT?!?!?”
Here I am convinced she’s on her way to school!!!

To make a long story short, I guess, Uncle Brian & Ana decided to try & play a joke on us…….

& we fell for it,

hook, line & sinker!
Belly Laugh

(But, hey, at least I didn’t spend most of the
drive to the hospital worried about my surgery, right? Ha!! Ha!)

Chad has admitted saying this, apologized, and granted permission to forward it along as punishment:

David taking care of everybody? I can see it now: "Honey, you know I'm not good at charades."
