Date night with Holly

Holly and I had a date tonight.

Hannah had a 1 hour dance class, so Holly and I did our favorite things....

Shopping  &  Eating

We walked around Highland Park and went for the ice cream first. 

 

Yes, I had a few bites.   I am starving.  Man cannot live on nutrimeal shakes alone!!

We then walked to our favorite drug store-Ross Cosmetics.  They have everything!

 

This is the aisle we always end up in...for at least 30 minutes...it's those darn stuffed animals...

And yes, I broke down and bought her a little stuffed hamster she named, "Louise".  The green you see in her mouth is the gumball she talked me into as well...We didn't quite get the ice cream off her face...

 

OK, onto serious business.

The kind that gets John and I into fights

It's not just about the garage!!  It's about his office, the top of his dresser, the laundry room, the car, and every single table top he can possibly leave a paper on.

WE ARE HAVING A HOME INSPECTION IN 2 WEEKS FROM A SOCIAL WORKER WHO WILL LICENSE US TO BE FOSTER PARENTS.  

John seems to think the house doesn't have to be perfect and that a "few" boxes here and there is not that big of a deal.  

I took a photograph of a small portion of his papers by our bed that I am not allowed to touch....

I don't think I will be home when the social worker arrives to see our house. 

I asked small group to pray for us.  

I can feel the tension mount as the days go by.

The garbage man is coming tomorrow and let's just say I am going to have a lot of stuff on that curb.  

I'll be sneaky.

Rearrange a few items in the house so it still looks messy.

But the folding chair without padding on the seat will be out there.

The pillows with lost stuffing will be out there.

The old pots and pans from his great great grandparents will be out there.

The 5 phones we have from the 60's will be out there.  

Maybe I'll take a picture of my curb and post it.  

John and I may not make it through these next few weeks....

To be continued....
