God is alive and working

The little girl that months ago, we got her file to review.. while she has been matched, Praise God!  I feel sad that she isn't mine, but I know now that God wanted us to say no, so she would go to "her perfect family".  I do believe with all my heart that God has a little one picked for us and will guide her file into our agencies hands.  At the perfect time. 

I also got a little video clip from the little girl that we sponsored through ZKO before she got adopted.  It is true, the reward of seeing this little girl happy, is way more than any amount of money.  I just keep thinking... a soul is worth more than all the money in the world.

hearts in China


Refreshed

so, I'm on my round two of the yucks.  I had the flu two weeks ago and then followed by a terrible cold, felt ok for 2 days and now it's back.  Even when to the doc to see if I have the fungus of the mongus.  Nope, no flu or strep throat, just round two of a cold.
I feel blah
blah
blah.

I just wonder from one side of the house to the other.  I have work, lots of stuff to do, but...
So I read my friends blog on healthy eating and now I feel blah "and" fat. 

So now I feel like eating something bad for me.  Since I have all the time of the world (at least I'm acting like it), I get my pomegranate out.  (I have to google the word pomegranate of course, because I can't spell).  What a pain, to break apart, but...

This fruit is amazing.  So sweet and refreshing.  I know it's high sugar, but tell myself that it's "natural" sugar. 
You should sooo try one.

On another note, we met with some new friends last weekend.  They are in the process of paperwork for adopting from China.  It was so refreshing to have someone that "understands" the mountains of adopting.  We need more friends that "get it".
You should adopt too :)

We have book club next week, and I'm trying hard to get my book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" finished.  What a tearjerker. 
You should read this too.

Multitasking

Back to work after being sick all weekend and barely moving.  I couldn't decide if I was still contagious or if I would be able to make it through 10 hrs, but decided to try it. Which brings me to the subject of multitasking.  I do not feel like that I do it well, but....maybe I do.

The one and only male in my office other than doctors is sitting in the office with 400 new plans for one of the insurance that we take.  They are not sent to us in alph or numerical order so they all needed put in order, hole punched and exchanged with the old.  He is sitting here picking up one paper at a time, looks at it hard, slowly sorts through 350 old plans, finds the old, takes it out, slowly hole punches the new, puts in the the book and clamps down the ring binder.

And starts over.  He is going to do this 399 more times. 

I want to be home sleeping because I'm VERY hot and miserable, but I'm at work because it would make them shorthanded if I stayed home. 

And he is punching holes one at a time.

I ask, "You know that you can punch like 10 papers at a time and save 100s of mins".  "I know", he reples, "but this system works". 

Please excuse me while I bang my head on the WALL. 

I tell him sarcastically, "If I knew you would be punching holes all day, I could stayed home and did it for you".  He is like, "Ah, no, I just got them this morning".

He doesn't even get what I'm trying to say.  

AHH, welcome to Loonyville!
