The China adopt website I read had a post today about a woman with a beautiful baby who was in a mall one day and was approached by a stranger. Here is part of the post: “She had him in one of those strollers that allow the carrier to snap into them, and she stopped [...]

Whole lot of nothing going on

It feels like March out here. I saw people walking into Target in hoodies. The wind was pretty cold however. We watched Terminator Salvation today. It was pretty good except dumb ending. There is no way he could have had a heart transplant-what about tissue typing? What about a transplant surgeon? What about anti-rejection meds [...]

Sleepovers two nights in a row are not a good thing. Sleep deprivation is not good for Miss Gem. I was telling L this morning how happy I was with my life yesterday, standing in Holy Land Bakery, waiting for my gyros with my family around me, I felt so content and happy. Then Miss [...]

-9. I don’t even know what the windchill is. I’ll have to put on 5 layers of clothes. I’ll look like a puffer fish. It’s 4:57 and I’m all alone in the house. Except for the dog. And the cat. And the mice. (just kidding). Mom is horrified that she caught 3 mice in the [...]

Great. Slow drive home because of slippery roads. They were waiting for me when I arrived. They took Rosie for a walk while I changed because she suddenly informed us that she needed poster board to make a project due tomorrow and black pants-because the choir was going to travel to the mall to sing? [...]

Good today. She had her cavities filled to a tune of $427! She was playing Wii when I got home. I watched some of it with her-it looks like fun. We ate Chicken Cordon Bleu that L made. It was very good!

Nice today. She lost 3 hours of watching television last night so she fell asleep at 7 pm! The last time she did that she was 2 years old. Slept until 3am and then was wide awake. She was excited to tell me about it this morning when I went to let Rosie out. She [...]

Rude and Crabby! Today I realized I/we cannot let this go on. She is usually crabby in the mornings but today especially so. We are teaching her to cook so we agreed to a main entree every other weekend. Today it’s tacos. L work her up at 1100 and I did again at 1130. She [...]
