I almost forgot how this works, it’s been so long… 

Work has been such a struggle, full-on stress, big rain clouds overhead with thunderstorms… and the possible end of the tunnel may not be till 2012. I feel overwhelmed and drained, I’m just so tired. I… don’t… know… if… I’ll… make… it… {God, I need You to step in. Give me the strength and a better attitude to get through it.} 

But Noah brightens our life, he is so full of energy and curiosity and he is talking so much now. We’re so amazed every week at the new words he’s using and the sentences he’s making. I love how he plays and pretends, it’s so adorable and creative. 

Tonight before he fell asleep, he was reprimanding one of his stuffed animals: Bu yao da! (No hitting!) Bear ku ku. (Bear’s crying.)

He makes my heart super happy and he gave me so many kisses today. I sure needed them.

I told S about my bad day at work and he went to get some comfort food for dinner. It was very nice of him. I’ve been indulging in quite a bit of comfort food as of late. Oh…. better watch it! 

I would like to eat 3 fresh round glazed donuts from Donut Tree! With a cup of coffee! And not think about the calories. That would be oh so heavenly. Mmm….
