Love does.
Love is not passive. Love is not an accident. Love is something we choose to do, choose to feel.
Did you know that you can get in and out of the E.R. in less than an hour, if you visit at 3:00 a.m.? It's totally true.
Oh my!
Ruby is in a bad habit of whining. It's the age, I get it. But I hope it stops soon, or I'm gonna lose it.
And Burke? Just started this super irritating screaming/screeching thing. I know that it's caused by his speech delay. He is comprehending a lot. He follows complex multiple-step commands, and he responds to complex communication. However, he can't articulate his wants and needs. Plus, on an unrelated note, he really hates hearing the word no (this is just the age). So, anytime he's told no, he yells at me.
Oh yeah! :)
I thought I should pop back in to let you all know that our day took a 180 right around 11:00 a.m. That's when the kids woke up from their morning naps. (No joke. Burke slept for three hours, and Ruby slept for two.) They were in *significantly* better moods. In fact, Ruby's waking words were, "Momma, I'm ready to have a much better attitude."
Words to make a Mommy smile...
When the Compassion Bloggers went to Uganda in February of 2008, I didn't even know about them.
(Disclaimer: The following images have been borrowed from the Compassion Bloggers. To the best of my knowledge, they were all taken by Keely Marie Scott and Ryan Detzel.

As moms, we often perform our jobs with little thanks and much criticism. I don't know about you, but I often wish there was actually an Employee Handbook, complete with a job description. I wish I had annual performance reviews with feedback on my strengths and weaknesses. I wish there was some way to measure how well I'm performing my duties.
Have you ever talked with a friend, read a blog post, or seen a FB status update that made you think, "Get real! There's no way that's the whole story."? (Can one of my friends gifted in grammar please help me with the proper way to punctuate that sentence/question? I'm totally baffled, and it's messing with my blogging groove. So let me start over...)
"Get real! There's no way that's the whole story."
We interrupt this series to bring you a special message:
Compassion International is currently hosting The Great Sponsorship Challenge, and we, here at Not2Us, have decided to form a team. :) Our goal is to see 25 new children sponsored through our efforts in this challenge.
No matter how terrible or wonderful you feel, you're probably wrong. :) How do you like that? You come here for a bit of encouragement, and I tell you that you're wrong right off the bat. Well, I'm doing it for your own good, please believe me. :)
Do you like us? Well? Do ya? Do ya?
Love Mercy
