A Case of Birthmother Blues Sitting here now.. feeling all nasty. I din’t know why. Feeling on edge.. like something is about to happen..got so much to do, but not really… should be doing more, but what? Rye is after me to find some job that I can do one handed… I want to laugh.. every thing I find that is work from home sounds like a pyramid scheme and…
I am assuming this is something for our lovely National Adoption Awarness Month..it looks like they are running an adoption related blog everyday for the month… or i am indeed cementing my lameness by just noticing this and it is here all the time??? In anycase, worth a read.. worth a comment if you are so inclined… and I think my new favorite quote just came out of it: <…
Ah, I know, I know.. a day late and a dollar short, but for whatever reason sitting at the Mall for a very quick 8 hours I also found to be very very exhausting! Plus, when I did get home, we had friends over..so about three glasses of red wine later, up too late entertaining, and general life choas on Sunday… just be thankful you get this now. I feel…
And once again, Teresa the Ungrateful Little Bastard and I are rocking the Hudson Valley Mall this Saturday! I have to give a public plug here to her: Let me tell you, she is awesome! When she says that she will do something, she does it..I bow down to her infinate photo copy getting greatness! And I really look forward to some quality adoption time together! On a happy note,…

One Broken Left Humerus yeah, so that actually IS my arm..but after they squised it back together. In official terms they call that “post reduction”..i call it hurting like a mofo! Before they pushed the broken part back together, the bones were at angles from each other. more like this..though this is not my arm.. No Medical Insurance, Sub Par Care We went to the real ortho today. Same guy,…
Halloween Complications So we all know how much I dig Halloween, right? A old Goth chick’s dream come true…dress up decorate…yummmy! So one of the things that i have had on my to do list has been to get out my HW decor and get it up. I have a reputation in this neighborhood after all..and people have been asking. I wanted to get started on Sunday/ Mon past as…
I am at work tonight. We had over a hundred people on the books and the hit was very early for some odd reason, so we were all keyed up to move fast and make it happen. My night starts out great. My first table is this couple that I use to wait on years ago at the old “Clove Valley Trading Post” and I am thrilled to see them….

Bare with me becasue I think I am still trying to fiqure this out. After I wrote out last nights post, I was still thinking a bit about it all. Especially that conflicted feeling that I have…the thrill that Max and I do have this connection, yet coupled with the sadness that even for three seconds he felt out of place in his life. Now I have had internet “discussions”…
Tristan came home today with Scholastic’s Parent & Child in his backpack. So somewhere as I put off making dinner, I did my best to ignore the sounds of Pokeman as they explode form the TV, and took a gander at this nice piece of fluff. What Make Your Child Tick? Interesting enough, I actually found an article that peeked my interest, “What Makes Your Child Tick?” and within that…
Motive for death of US troops…democracy?? NO..Oil money.
Motive for the needless separation of mothers and children..save the children? No..profit from the transfer of parental rights.
Media coverage for both outrage? The war wins…though barely. Who wants to hear that depressing bit anyway? Not when we can read about Hollywood starlets behaving badly..much more amusing.
A Child’s Waiting , the agency that used and abused Stephanie Bennett has been found to be non compliment. Meanwhile, it seems the people who have had Evelyn and refused to give her back on the advice of A Child’s Waiting have moved out of state.
Scarlett drew this for me. I adore how she just has fully embraced that Max is her brother. He just gets included..automatically. It does’t matter that she never met him, I mean it does, but not in her love and inclusion of him.
Now, what happens when a few of these LI kids happen to travel in the same social circles with the Beastie Boys in NYC? Well, lets just say, that IF one of these kid’s had their turn to wear the coveted VW necklace, and the Beastie Boys just happen to be there at the same party and MOCK the VW necklace worn in front of all the other people at the party, then they had BETTER not get their own and wear it to a promo photo shoot the next week! But that’s exactly what happened.
