False Impressions

So I have been under a false impression (only within my own head and trying to make myself believe it) that when we have adopted that our lives will slow down.  Well I have given up on trying to make this happen, I know that even with as busy as we are now it will only be 5 times more crazy after having children.  But I can say it will be worth every minute.

So a few updates and then some new stuff, we did go and do the blessing and just a few minutes before the meeting started I offered to my brother and father one last chance to let grandpa do it.  Both declined in fact my brother even started with "your going to chicken out" talk and so I did it.  I must say how special it was to both be picked and to do the blessing.  It went off perfectly and we had no issues.  Okay maybe a few first the young man that was asked to hold the Mic insisted on pushing it up under the baby's dress so everything was a little muffled and ruffled by that.  And the grandpa and the Bishop both were bouncing her up and down I was worried that they were going to toss her out of the circle.  The little one was a champ she just continued to make little noises and handled it with out problems.

This week has been a fast moving week we have had plenty of things going on but one of the highlights were that we went to see our nieces talent show.  She did so good, her singing was great and she put her heart into it.  (They grow up so fast)  Several other students did very good, they had one girl who did a hula-hoop dance and it was crazy good, and a young man played the guitar and it was some of the best playing that I have experienced in a while.

Miriam also had the book fair going on this week at the school and that is always a crazy time but the late night (last night) went real good and it seemed that the weather only caused some slow times but it seemed to go over without a hitch.

We have a birthday party on Saturday, the Relief Society breakfast, 5K for Adoption and Ham Radio stuff going all on Saturday so at some point something will give...

This posts question is how do single parents do it, with school, work, and church activities I would not be able to handle it all by myself, so how do they do it?
