Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Okay…so here was today. Rainy. Like 3″ of rain. Plus it was chilly. The kiddos were on “fall break” while we had “professional development.” Seriously? Why can’t the teachers have a few days off? A friend of mine told me today she is pregnant. Yah! With twins. Seriously? She’s getting ready to pop out #4… Continue reading Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Friday Night Ramblings…

When I started this blog, it was for me. I admit it – I’m selfish. I wanted to know I wasn’t alone, and I wanted to keep a record of our journey. But sometimes it’s so intimidating to write it.

Good Day

Ahhh….Saturday. As I slept in this morning, and slowly awoke, I began to wonder how many more Saturdays I will have to do this. I thought the same thing last night as, after the first two days of school, I was exhausted. I came home from work, changed into my pajamas and basically laid in… Continue reading Good Day

Feeling Like Real Estate?

So I emailed the paralegal at the attorney’s office yesterday. We are using an attorney to match us with a birthmother, and the paralegal, of course, does almost all of the work.

My Newest Addiction…

Craigslist. I mean, it started innocently enough. I woke up Saturday morning with a desire to decorate the nursery. Shocking, no? I’ve had zero desire so far, but suddenly we’re getting baby clothes and I have no where to put them. So I pestered Keith into going to the baby stores. Side note: while at… Continue reading My Newest Addiction…
