Okay, So my wife (blink.. blink) Angie is out at a pampered chef party with some of the girls so its daddy's night with Gracie. I love daddy's nights. We have illegal amounts of fun, I am as obnoxious as she is when we get to go out alone and mess around. We went to dinner at her favorite spot, a Chinese buffet call Fusion. I let her pick what she wants to eat and I let her pay. After we are done eating she picks up the card to pay and gets frustrated that the waitress wont pay attention to her (she's 4) After the lady passed her by twice Gracie is getting a bit loud and wants to get down and go after her to get her attention. I tell her no. and ask her to just speak to her next time she is near by. The next time she comes down the aisle, Gracie stands up in her seat sticks the card up in the air and hollers 'ni hao'. I thought the lady was gonna kiss her. She came over, gave her a careful hug, took the card and was smiling all the time. Anybody else in earshot was laughing their butts off, but hey.
Anyway, next stop, shopping. If we go out, we must go shop. I bought her something just so we could go shopping. A habit I will hate later in life I am sure.
Angie and I have gotten ourselves on an adoption list that might someday produce a sister for Gracie. No guarantees. I have kind of half heartedly signed on to this because it will strain the family unit quite a bit, but I want what is best for Grace. I keep fence hopping on what that is, a sibling, or our entire resource pool set aside for her. Tough decision for me, but I went for the list with the idea that we should let God decide. He knows best and He is good.
After we got home I sent Grace upstairs to change, we cuddled on the couch for a while, and then the cute little sleepy princess decided to go to bed. After she went to sleep I came upstairs to check in on her and run through the shower real quick. Once arriving at the top of the stairs, I found 4 Bo logs in the doorway to the spare room. Dang it Bo. I then walk into Gracie's bathroom to retrieve some toilet paper and open the lid to her toilet. I proceed to pick up the still a bit warm Bo logs and head hastily back to the bathroom. After depositing Bo's gift of attitude and flushing I just happen to look straight ahead into a blank white wall. I just happen to notice a spot on this blank white wall just at eye level. I just happen to stare at this spot long enough to focus on it because it does not belong there.
One small, red spotted beetle.
One little itty bitty bug on the wall.
One little Lady bug.
Oh $%!^, its a lady bug.
Its just happy as can be, hangin out, making dang sure I saw it.
I saw it, dang it.
Guess I better start saving up my pennies now. Might want to paint that other room something a bit more girly. I dont know if I am ready for this or not, but I guess if God is gonna bring me to it, He has a plan to get me through it. It would be my opinion He just made His intensions clear.
(if you got lost by the ladybug, go to any China adoption website and it will become clear. Ladybugs and Red threads are Chinese adoption folklore. Ladybugs are the bringers of news concerning adoptions and the red thread is a legend concerning destiny, or Gods plan)
