We've decided to take a break from the internet again for a while, so if you haven't seen me on here in a while that might have something to do with it... maybe.
We are not currently taking any Foster/Adoption classes right now. The ones that were going to be near enough to us that we signed up for got canceled because not enough people signed up. In fact we were the only ones who signed up this time around, so no classes. There have been another set of classes offered that start next week, however it is on Tuesday nights which mean Jared will be at plumbing school during that time, so no classes for us. As I might have mentioned in an older post I don't feel much motivation to get into the whole Foster/Adopt stuff right now seeing as we currently don't have any friends or support group in our area. Hoping if and when classes that come up that we possibly can attend that things will be different for us when that time comes.
Cherish is pregnant! Again! We went to visit our friends Jonathan & Cherish at the church camp they are working at this last weekend. Cherish is now pregnant with their third child. As you can imagine I was quite upset when I heard the news. Especially seeing as I heard the news from the bank teller just before we left town to visit them (she had seen it on facebook and we no longer have internet so I missed the update). But after our visit I came home with a good news/bad news to share with you bloggers. The camp that they are working at is being shut down. That's just all around bad news. Seeing as they are (SURPRISE) being shut down they decided to extend Jon & Cherish's contract with the camp as long as they could continue paying them. That's good news for them because that means Jonathan has a job for a while longer before he needs to be searching for a new one and they can continue to pay off some of their debts. But that means they won't be coming back until the end of the year, March at the latest because the baby is due in April. Good/bad news for me is that I am more upset that I can't be there for my dear friend Cherish during every step of her pregnancy than I am that she's pregnant again before me. I miss her. They have to go to the office to have internet to use, and they have no phone service at the camp, so I wrote her a letter after we got home. I hope she'll write back, and we'll probably visit them again soon.
Any other news? Nope not really. Well did I tell you we have a kitten? Clover drives me insane! I often want to get rid of her.... Really think we might find her a new home. She's not a horrible kitten... she really isn't.... Oh but she drives me crazy! She's such a little trouble maker! And then even when she's being sweet she wants to put her nose on my face (can't stand it), and wants to gnaw on my fingers (can't stand it), and if I'm laying down she wants to purr over my ear (sooo irritating!). Everyone who has met Clover loves her. That's nice. My husband picked her out and loves her too. But she won't stay off the table... She wants to jump up on my door frames... She gets on the bathroom sink and plays with the hand towel... If you open a closet door to grab something she's likely to be in the way when you close it.... She chews on shoes... And she hasn't learned to wash her face yet. She's always getting sleepies in the corners of her eyes and it bugs me, I clean them for her. And probably above everything else, she doesn't give Frosty a chance to snuggle with me. I miss my big Frosty cat. Frosty used to sleep on the bed with me every night, but now we must close our door because Clover wants to do things like play with our feet in the middle of the night. One of the only reasons I want to keep her (besides the fact that she's cute) is that giving her away means giving up. I feel it means me saying I've failed in training her. I don't know... But I really don't know that our home is the one for her. Do you think me finding her a new home is me giving up? Or me just saying she's not the cat for us? I hope someone else might love her more than I do....
