I leave for Odessa, Ukraine on Monday morning. I am very excited and nervous about the trip as I've never traveled that long and that far without my family. I saw this picture of Potemkin Stairs located in Odessa. I had flashbacks to China and the Great Wall. I still chuckle when I think of those old people leading me near death down the stairs. This is like a Rocky moment though can't you just see me running up those stairs, jumping with my fists raised in the air at the top! I think not. Anyway just a reminder that you won't see a post on this blog for 10 days. All of my posting will be done on our Straight from the Heart blog. Address is on the sidebar but just in case it is www.straightfromtheheart.typepad.com . Follow along as I travel the Ukraine discerning the orphan needs in that country. Oh as a side note I had to stop taking the crazy birth control pills. If you haven't read the previous posts you might want to. I was out of control absolutely out of control. I have a secret for you. Men think that women are moody and unpredictable. I just want to let you know the problem with young girls and young women...heck middle aged women is if they are taking birth control pills....IT'S THE PILLS! Mercy thank goodness I came to my senses. That's all for tonight and the next time you hear from me it will be from the Ukraine! Mama getting ready for the plane out!

Ok so you are not going to believe this. I'm having let's just say issues that some women have. Enough said. I went to my doctor for a remedy and her solution was two months of birth control pills. BIRTH CONTROL PILLS! Bwahahahaaaaaaaaaa.....slappppp......hahhhh....snort....Son #1 borrowed my car the other night. He comes in horrified with a little packet in his hand. "What are these". Oh...I enjoyed this. "Birth Control Pills". You don't want a little brother or a little sister." Ha ha...He just stood there with these pills in his hand. Little did he know what was yet to come. I haven't taken birth control pills since I was 21 years old. When my doctor told me to take them I just said "well I did take them at one point but they didn't agree with me". Now I remember why I can't take them. Everyone in my house is hiding. No one will talk to me. I have been fantasizing about how I'm going to wallop each and everyone of them. It's kind of like PMS on steroids, baby blues times 400. What was she thinking. I am going through some kind of peri-meno something anyway. Now load on top of that birth control pill induced rage flying around the house. It's so bad I recognize it but really can't stop it. Sort of like when you have your wisdom teeth out and they are ripping out part of your mouth and well who cares...it's the opposite. I know what's going on and oh yah I care. Now here is the particularly hilarious part. I'm headed to the Ukraine in a week. On a plane - those who know me know that I hate to fly. I get stressed and hateful leading up to the flight. It is a red-eye flight I can't sleep on a plane. So birth control pills on top of happy pills makes Mama one sleepy eyed,crazed plane passenger. Remember the commercial about the stewardess who quit smoking and was yelling at everyone- Oh yah I can relate to that. Oh my what am I ever going to do. The Bible says it is better to be on the corner of a roof that live with a quarrelsome woman. Mmmmm....I surpassed quarrelsome two days ago. Pray for Mike and the kids the only one safe right now is Emily. Apparently little girls get grumpy just like their Mama's do. Birth control pills at my age what was she thinking! Mama out (to lunch)!
