Please read the 3rd post down first "I have 58 days..." That one. Then go up one, then this one.

Seriously. Not 60 seconds after the post below, I walked upstairs, took my last swig of water as I sighed and set my glass in the sink. I stared out the window thinking what an idiot I was for misplacing my U2 tickets!! My U2 tickets! What were you thinking!!

And then I walked over, thinking it was in vain to check the junk drawer again, since I had already checked it before, but for peace of my mind, I just wanted to check it again before I went to bed.

And there they were.

Right on Top, in the Ticketmaster envelope they had arrived in. I thought back quickly to my posts on my blog that I had just posted. How I thought when that U2 ad popped up on my "View Blog" page, that I looked at it and thought, "This has to be a sign...it just has to be!"

As I took the tickets out of the envelope I started to giggle like a little girl...and I cried. I knew God was there, that he, and whoever prayed for me, had helped me. And then I laughed some more and thought how if God can help with the little stuff, and show himself to me, well then heck, why not the big stuff too? The stuff that seems so overwhelming to me, that I feel so helpless with, like nothing it going to work...He can help.

And all of this, over two small pieces of paper that say I get to get in to Soldier Field, at 7pm on September 12th, Chicago, IL.

Wow.

OK...just a paralell for you. I often...I mean OFTEN pray for God to help me find pieces of clothing/swimsuits/socks for the children when I am hurriedly scrounging through piles of laundry (sometimes dirty...sometimes clean). And sooooo often He helps me find the item instantly! It's so great isn't it! Congrats on finding them!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my coffee

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a
