Ok, I think I forgot I had a blog!! Not really, Its just been a crazy time here. First thing first. I guess last time I wrote I was still dealing with the neighbor thing. Well, I think God took care of that situation. Things got worse before they got better. They got really bad in fact. I don't normally argue with people, but it got down to the point where she began to say things that just did not happen. I had to call her out on them, and now we are simply a hi and by relationship. She really does not see my kids anymore!!
Now the things that we are dealing with now are a little different. I have a brother that I am trying to take care of. He did a lot of drugs a few years back that has fried his brain. He now has skitsophrneia, not sure how to spell it, but that sounded right.. He is OK if he would take meds, but he wont. We are trying to find a way to have him committed. Its really sad to see him the way he is. Its even harder to know that I can not help him. I know that God will help him in the end, but the waiting is very hard.
The second big thing we are dealing with here at the Beasley home is Nessie. We are still having a hard time here. I do not understand why she screams all the time. She is always fighting the other babies, and always hitting them. Tony and I were so upset yesterday because she pulled a hand full of hair out of Leeskas head. We were so sad for Leeska. I'm wondering if she had to fight off the other kids in the orphanage. That's how she acts now. The thing is, she gets everything she needs here. Oh well. This is just some of what we are dealing with.
Poor Tony is so depressed at his job so he is getting a new job that will be moving us to Dallas. Then my brother stepped in and told him that he wanted to hire Tony to work for him in Austin. Now we have to decide what to do with this as well. We are trying to figure out what God wants us to do. We want to make sure that what we decide to do will be good for us in the long run.
Right now as I write my brother, not the one I spoke of earlier with the illness, has all of my oldest kids in Austin. My brother is a doctor and is a millionaire. He has everything he has ever wanted or needed. So now my kids are getting a taste of this life. They are never going to want to come home. Even to pick my kids up he had his private jet come pick them up. I'm proud of him for being so successful, but I do not want my children to be all sad when they come home that they do not have all these nice things. We feel that a lot with our oldest adopted son. We feel like he wishes he had been adopted by someone else. He does not like discipline, or chores. He always feels like he is getting into trouble, so in the end he puts that blame on us. He doesn't seem very grate full of anything, and expects everyhting in return. We are really working on him, we are trying to teach him that it is this way at other families homes as well. It was probably not very smart to send him to my brothers, but I did not want to deny him of that chance to be with his cousins as well.
I just wanted to say thanks for following along. I know I am not doing a good job at posting a lot, but you guys are patient to keep coming back!! The babies are doing great other than the screaming. Leeska is so big, and sooo smart. Eli is getting so big and soo funny. Ill post some pictures!! Thanks guys!
