Since we are enjoying our last day here in Florida......I wanted to leave you all with something to make you laugh! A bloggy friend of mine - the people that made us believe that we could actually do a domestic adoption even though we have a larger family.....thank you forever!
So they have made videos of actual things people have said to them about having so many children, homeschooling, etc. They are funny...as well as some crazy ones about toenails :) So if you need a little pick me up and make me laugh hop on over to Storing up Treasures today and enjoy a giggle.
And sometime soon I promise to tell you more about our time with family and other musings of this crazy mommy :)

I watched the one on her site the other day about homeschooling and I laughed my head off! I don't homeschool, but I could relate b/c we all have situations that we feel like we repeat the same answer over and over.....
ReplyDeleteOh those are tooo funny -- I have had the exact word for word conversations with strangers. EXACT CONVERSATIONS. I've often thought about printing up a little FAQ sheet to pass out instead of being grilled for 20 min with questions by strangers:
ReplyDeleteno we are not a daycare
no we are not an orphanage
yes they are all mine (and DH, and GODs)
yes I know where they came from and how babies are made
no they don't all have the same father
yes I love them all as much as my bios
no a large family is not that difficult to manage
yes we homeschool it is easier for me and better for them
no it isnt hard
yes my grocery bill is high
no we dont have a crazy noisey house like that movie
no you dont need to know their names
no you dont need to know their ages
no you dont need to know what happened to their real parents
no you dont need to know their diagnoses my children are not their medical condition
yes you could adopt also it isn't that hard
no we are not like the duggers
no we are not like jon and kate
we will stop adopting when God tells us to, there are too many children who do not have a family to grow up in and too many people who would never consider adopting
no we are not rich, we have a tight budget and that is ok -- God provides what we need
yes I can tell them apart
.....
Although I do thank TLC and all those large family shows they have been doing the past few years -- we dont feel like we are an oddity
hope she makes more videos -- the office chat was very shocking but DH has had that one plenty of times.
How funny!
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends just shared their blog with me recently and I had a good laugh over the comments.
ps How is it you managed to do a domestic adoption with a large family? We have always been turned down...
How funny! The toenails one CRACK me up
