I want to be the biggest Barton Loser!

I had to run home early from our ward Christmas party to see the final episode of The Biggest Loser! I cried through the entire 2 hour special! That is such an inspiring show! They asked the two trainers to give some advice to everyone watching from home...Bob said, "DO NOT WAIT TILL JANUARY 1ST....THINK OF WHAT YOU CAN START TODAY"! Yeah, my double batch of chocolate chip cookies don't look so good anymore..ok ...they still do but now they weigh more on the guilt factor! I wish I could really start now..I will do what I can and see what happens! Thanks you guys, this is awesome to be able to log on and be motivated by the best people in my life..I love you!

I too need to get to the mail and send those cards out! Stacy, yours look great! Kassie, we should be able to stop by this weekend...do you need me to hang on to Karla's presents till Christmas Eve?..she seems out of control! We will probably stop on Monday...I will let you know for sure! And yes, the court is to terminate both Ricky and Alma's rights! I am not too nervous to testify anymore...but I think I will always be nervous to face everyone in court! Especially now that they know we have Laila...last time they had no clue who we were or why we were there! Even though they don't make the choices to have Laila with them...they are not going to like to hear the judge ask us if we are willing to adopt Laila! I know this is meant to be...just be greatful..all of you...that you didn't have to face a judge and mean people to prove you want your children! Oh yeah, today I was in the middle of yelling at Tilly and Laila was yelling for me from the front room and so I finally responded with, "WHAT LAILA"!!! And to my very uncomfortable surprise... Al Young, our courtesy case worker, was at the door..Laila had opened it and was yelling at me to come to the door...that was so bad!!! He didn't seem mad but I was all sorts of flustered trying to figure out how much her heard and how bad it sounded! I pray he doesn't report me! Anyway, gotta go ..love ya! Wendy
