News, What News?

So here I sit, wondering what to write about. The whole purpose of a blog is to keep people updated about what is going on in our lives...well that is pretty hard when you're not sure what is happening in your life. This whole thing of not knowing is taking its toll on my children and not to mention myself. Their personalities have changed (not for the better) and are acting out (Silas more-so than Taylor). On top of all the uncertainty, it is now Christmas time. The decorating is almost non-existent. We only have the tree up with lights on it and the two ornaments they chose for this year. We didn't even put the skirt on. I am not even sure where we will be for Christmas--here, there, or somewhere in-between. I keep telling Silas that Santa will definitely find us...no matter where we are.

As for the whole moving thing, I know nothing more than any one of you (and that is sad). We ALL were under the impression that we would have been moved by now, Wayne has been there almost a month now. I honestly think that someone has gotten a little too much of the taste of "freedom". It is like we may take one step forward, but then get shoved three steps back. I get told that something is in the works, only to have it nixed the next day. Hearing this time and time again can really get rather depressing. Kinda makes one wonder if anything will ever happen. Then not hearing anything for a couple of days just makes you realize that plans have changed yet once again, and we are starting over from scratch.

On a bit of a brighter note, we are going to do some Christmas shopping this weekend. Maybe some retail therapy will help to raise our spirits, well one can dream right? It will be rather difficult shopping for a little boy this year (without him finding out) but Taylor and I have a plan and hopefully it will work. Taylor already knows what she is getting (and probably going to get it done this weekend).

I would ask everyone to keep their fingers crossed that we get some sort of news, but I am not going to. I haven't heard anything that remotely sounds promising, so just pray, and pray hard.
