Yeah I know!...I wasn't supposed to be blogging and all that... but to tell the truth I missed you guys. Something happened now and I just had to share the good news. Would you believe I still have my orange coat and scarf on me I'm that excited to tell you. What is it? you may wonder. A total miracle happened tonight. Do you remember at the start of this blog, I told you I wanted to adopt two new kids? Well tonight out of the blue - (1st time in four years of living here) a priest came to talk to us in church. He had a table full of photos of children from all over the world looking for sponsorship. It was synchronicity because that is what was in the back of my mind, especially since Fluffy's departure.
As he was talking, I did the sums and for the exact same amount as feeding and getting bedding for Fluffy, we can sponsor a child - exact same amount to the penny - except the rabbit food was not tax-deductible. We now go to 5.00 p.m. mass instead of 11.00 a.m. so we can get to sleep it in on a Sunday morning - as well as getting to sleep it in, we are also saving ourselves $40 per week not getting a brunch out after mass, like we always used to do. So I did the sums - missing just one Sunday brunch, we could pay for another little fellow for a month.
On a table in the vestibule of the church they had all the little kids looking for sponsors (their pictures - not the kids!!) The priest asked us to help out little boys as the girls are more popular. We ended up getting a little boy from Ukraine called Ivan (Scorpio) blonde and gorgeous, and another little boy from Kenya called Charles (Libra) 5th October b/day with a big libran smile.
I have always wanted sons - now my family is complete. A weird thought but true all the same - For the cost of feeding Fluffy for a month I can now feed Charles. Insane isn't it?
Wasn't it just weird the way this priest should just happen to come in tonight? I call it divine timing.
Lots of love,
Kevin, Patricia, Ali, Vicky, Claudia, Ivan, Charles and Sima xxx
I have two new sons and no! I haven't really gone around the bend and t.g. they are out of nappies now so I wont be up all night!! Been there done that. It was a pain free delivery - no epidurals - no stitches!! Allelulia...Kevin was joking we will become like Schmidt in 'About Schmidt' who adopted some kids, was bored in his retirement and began talking and writing to them and telling them all his troubles, etc. not there just yet!
Cheers and look after yourselves xxx
