I think I'm back now. Moving forward, sometimes I feel like I'm standing still, but at least I'm not face first in my bed anymore! To all those in the adoption world. What the fuck?! God...waits are growing to enormous sizes. I thought I'd be in it for 2 yrs, I prepared myself to wait 2 yrs, HELL, I've been waiting for 9 yrs now to have another child, what's 2 more years...Did you see they

Did you guys see Grey’s Anatomy last night? Let me just say that the death of George’s dad just hit way too close to home. Of course the reason for our father’s death were completely different…but the actually father death….the same. It was like watching it told on TV, just for me, with different characters. Of course minus the board room explanation of what was going on with my father and

So where have I been you ask? Good question….lets just say since my Dad died things haven’t been quite so normal… And my bother has his head up his ass….dear old brother will now be referred to as HUHA (head up his ass) So much of my time was spent running to and from Pennsyltucky to spend time with dear old Mom. Not that I mind…really I don’t. I love my Mom, but hell…I thought HUHA would

Wow…It’s been a while and where to start? I guess I’m better. I can’t say I’m walking around in constant state of grief and disbelief…but I can’t say I’m all together myself. I’m lazy…prone to just going to bed if S is around to deal with our daughter and the dogs. My house isn’t the same…my bedroom is a disaster…I do enough in the rest of the house to get by, but it certainly isn’t as

I love this........A Liberal's Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives ...To My Conservative Brothers and Sisters,I know you are dismayed and disheartened at the results of last week's election. You're worried that the country is heading toward a very bad place you don't want it to go. Your 12-year Republican Revolution has ended with so much yet to do, so many promises left unfulfilled. You are in

What do you do after your dad dies? I mean I'm not sure. We had his funeral on Thursday and it all seems so surreal. I just can't believe he is gone. My Daddy is gone.I go thru waves of emotions. Sometimes I'm okay, other times I cry. I'm anxious and nervous for no apparent reason. I feel so alone. I didn't realize how big of an influence he had on me, how much I needed him. Needed him to feel

My dad died yesterday. He was only 60. Why am I on the computer? Because my house seems so empty and I came home last night from my mother's to gather my stuff, get my car fixed..figure out what to do next.My dad has been ill for a long time. Too many things to mention...but it wasn't any of that that killed him. It was a blood clot to the bowel...it rotted, it was all bad. He had less than a 10%

Okay...done feeling sorry for myeself...I know I recently put in an entry about TV shows...and well Tuesdays are one of my nights! I think I forgot to mention Veronica Mars on that post...and it is trully one of the best shows on TV...It might be my favorite...if you haven't watched it..give it a try or two...it is a tough show to jump in now at season 3 but give it a chance you won't be sorry.

Or caused by relatives...I'm sure it's a bit of both. I rag on my husband's family a lot. And while they are nutts...my family is too.There is a lot of history here...more than I can cover before dinner is done so that will have to wait for another post but what I can say is my Dad is fucked up. So is my Mom. But the funny part is I know they love us. Especially my Dad. And while their fucked up

Yep..my girl. That 10 yr old girl is running away. You know...her life is terrible.My kid is a walking disaster, a mess, a slob...what ever you would like to call it. She takes after her dad. And the two of them...oh my god. A hurricane couldn't make a mess as bad as the two of them. Her room, well it's a disaster. I usually try not to say too much about her room...I mean it is her room after all

Wow! It's been over 2wks since I've posted. I guess I'm officially over scheduled...or should I say DD is. School has started, soccer has official started, swim team has started, flute lessons, play dates, girl scouts...do you think she has too much on her plate? I certainly do but she fights me when I make her sit home and have a down day...what to do? I was always like that though..a go-go-go

TMZ.com is posting a copy of the video of the "Bush Death". I don't understand why we as US citizens get so crazy about this stuff. I mean isn't it a free county? Aren't you allowed to make a movie about what you want. Oh..right..that was before Bush took office. I forgot!I haven't seen the movie...doubt I will...figure it will give me nightmares because the only thing worse than Bush being

Bush lied. And now there a website that tracks all his lies one by one. Hope they aren't paying for the space! In this election year I hope people wake up and get rid of some of these idiots in office. I know I'll do my part to be sure Santorium is out of office. Remember to vote! Everyone! VOTE!

I'm sure I've covered my mother in law in some post in the recent past. But at the risk of repeating myself she can be quite an idiot.She is not the best judge of character...nor the best of judge of men.When she first offered to watch SL (my DD) when I was pregnant, I actually wanted to put SL in daycare. After I had SL and watch the two of them together and how she loved her I thought what harm

Today we finally got word that we have a LID of 8/17/06!! Yeah! Now we get to wait oh...what is it now?? 13 mos and maybe upwards of 2 yrs to have a baby. Not like I haven't waited long enough!As of now, the thought of the wait doesn't bother me too much. Kind of weird huh? I guess it is because I know there is an end in sight...at the end of this long journey I'll have another baby girl. It

I am old. DD had a soccer tournament today...continuing into tomorrow. First of all it was PAINFUL to watch. They did horrible. Trully horrible. I can't believe it was our girls out there...but that is another story. I did nothing but stand on the side lines and watch and I'm exhausted..feet and back hurt, I could go to bed a sleep right now. Oh..and I'm hoarse from screaming...because

Really, I am. What else could explain the resistance to the time change?? I could go to bed right now. I've been back to work for two days and have offically gotten nothing done...really, nothing...zip, nada, nothing. I've unpacked one suitcase...the other is still sitting in my room. I haven't cooked dinner since I've been home. Haven't down loaded a picture or given a gift I bought. S

Wow! What a trip. It was good. It was so good to see my sister and her family. My little nephews are too cute...especially the little one. The older one...well some times I could have strangled him, but what can you expect with a 4 yr old! I could have also strangled my DD a few times too...I'm tired. My clock says 7:00pm but I could easily go right upstairs and go to sleep right now. I've

Of course, while I'm gone, I'm sure two very important things will happen....one..I'll get my LID! Yeah! And two...DD will get her room assignment for school. She is less than pleased that she won't be able to call her friends to find out who is in whose class. I guess she will survive.She had a

I think it has finally sunk in! I'm going to England with my daughter to visit my sister and her family...I leave Wednesday night! I'm so excited!! I haven't seen my sister or my nephews since Christmas. The littlest one was only 3 mos at the time. I'm sure he has changed so much.My sister and I are 6 yrs apart. When she was just a baby..I thought she was the coolest thing...a real live baby doll

It makes me so sad and so sick...there are various reports about thousands if not millions of dogs being killed in China because of a rabies outbreak. They are even killing the dogs that received the immunizations...in case the injections don't work! Only police and military dogs were spared. They beat most of the dogs to death..many in front of their owners... And then are paid the equivalent of

I've gotten absolutely nothing done..zip..zero.. for my upcoming vacation. DD and I leave for Britain on Wednesday night to visit my sister and her family for 2 weeks!! I miss my sister!

Fo those of you new to the China Adoption experience...there is a Chinese proverb...that is posted right at the top of 95% of the blogs...It's the "I'm adopting from China and here is my theme song.... ""An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break."While the sentiment is nice...it's

I'm back complaining again. Rarely do I blog when I have something positive to say.My MIL has been married and divorced 3 times. She is currently carrying on with a married man. I am lucky enough that I have only witnessed the last marriage and affair. My husband...god I don't know how he has done it..or how he or his brother are as normal as they are....has had it with her.

I love dogs...really I do. I have two shih tzus...one I purchased as a puppy from a reputable breeder (Lily), the next from a rescue group (Maggie). I've always had dogs, they were always rescued and they were always large! So getting Lily was a shock..and there was a lot of guilt involved. My DD was 7 when we got Lily and unfortunately many rescue groups won't even consider you if you have a

We have been without power since Tuesday. I can't understand why! We had a storm Tuesday evening...it didn't strike me as the 5th worse storm in PA history..but apparently it was. I grew up in Florida. I've seen some bad storms...this didn't qualify. I called our darling electric company (PECO) to see what was up and how long the power would be out...I was told power would be restored Sunday at

It really had nothing to do with adopting...really. It was my attitude dealing with infertility. I wanted a baby so badly that I was willing to do anything. Poke myself with needles, took drugs that made me a lunatic...more so than my normal crazy self. I was more familiar with the probe on the ultrasound machine than I ever was with any man...(maybe that's why I couldn't get pregnant!) And sex

DD and I were eating dinner as we always do on Friday nights...in front of the TV..barely conscious at 6:30 pm and ready for bed. It's been a long, busy week. I pause on the news...KYW to be exact.... to see what the weather will be like tomorrow. I don't watch the news anymore. It's way too depressing and I try to stay blissful ignorant....haven't you ever notice how stupid & crazy people are

Seriously, I f-ing hate it. This morning someone on APC asked... "why do some send personal emails as opposed to sending emails to the group APC list." So I respond..."well because some folks are monitored (ME!) and it takes hours for it to appear to the group where as emails to the person are sent & recieved right away".......now it has been hours..............hours and my email still hasn't

As I stated in one of my original posts...I like reading blogs, not all blogs...because some well...they just suck. Most I like I consider to be damn well written..better then some books I've read this summer. But on two of the sites I like to read...which conveniently are also transracial adoptees...they have noted about being linked on other blogs. Apparently they don't like it! Some how that

God! I both love and hate them...maybe loathe is a better word, at times. I love them, well basically because I'm nosy and I like to hear other peoples experiences...but god I hate the holier than thou attitude many folks on there have.If you are part of the China adoption community I would have to assume you are a member of...or at least heard of APC...the yahoo group. Apparently this weekend

Yeah! It's Friday! I'm soo excited. It hasn't been that great of a week....between the head cold and the cramps I really feel like I need to spend a day in bed. Tomorrow night we have the annual D's 4th of July party...this party has grown leaps and bounds every year. This year it's expected to be so large that our friends have actually hired a band if you can imagine. This party is the type of

If you guys haven't figured it out yet...I'm located in the Northeast...the lower NE. And if you see my post about USCIS....I bet you can figure out where!About the same time my DD started with the stomaches...the rain starting falling too...and it hasn't stopped. It rain so hard for so long last night I actually laid in bed, listening to it for over 3 hrs. It was the type of rain fall that

You know I'm not saying my life is easy..it isn't. But I've reached that point in parenting where I don't have to be on top of DD 24/7. And you know it's nice. I can send her up to take a shower without sitting in the room sitting watching her every moment. I can have her run outside to get the mail...pick up her things, read her own books, take the dogs out etc.. life is good. This week however

First I just want to say that I'm sure my blog will offend quite a few people and you know what I don't care! So if you do decide to read...do so at your own risk. If you send me emails...I will post them, probably with my comments...Edit to make you look like an ass..be warned.

I watch the referral rumors with a bit of interest but I'm not sitting on pins and needles like those with log in dates over 10 months ago or LIDs period! I watch b/c I figure I'd like to know an approximate time frame of when I'll get my little girl. And by the looks of things that will be sometime around my 40th birthday (which is 5 yrs from now). DD will be 14....I know it won't be that long

First of all I don't know how many "parts" will be able to explain why I've come to adoption. And really it isn't all about adoption. I guess maybe it is the story of my adult life or how I became an adult. I became pregnant with my daugther when I was 25. I wasn't ready to get married but I did because I was afraid of my father. 25 and still afraid of my dad, sad isn't it? I think even now

The home study arrived yesterday! Yeah! I packaged everything in zip lock bags and realized I didn't have any Priority mail or Fed Ex mailers.......GREAT! I print mailing labels and run right to the Post Office to mail them off...but then I get that lump in my heart. Is everything in there? Do I have the right things going to the right office? Did I forget something. After checking it 5xs I shove

We had our first meeting for our home study the end of March...I picked a home study agency that isn't on our agency's list...Why, you ask? Well because they are closer...they seem nice! The other agency in our area isn't that much further in mileage but the drive sucks and it would take an additional 30 minutes to get there...there is no easy way to get there. They also require a full day at the

My scanner isn't working...so I wasn't going to bother posting a copy of the letter...but then I felt compelled to actually type it. So here you go, I know it is an election year but I'm still happy he wrote the letter!Dear Mr. Aguirre:I was recently contacted by two consitiuents regarding difficulties they are experiencing in completing the foreign adoption process. In both cases, the

One of these days I'll get around to explaining my story of infertility but at the present time my adoption is in the fore front. I like many people attempting to adopt internationally wrote our local congress people attempting to get the time frame of the I 171H extended. For those of you not pursuing international adoption, the I 171H is the "Application for Advance Processing of Orphan

I guess I feel the need to explain why I think we are too PC. I'm am certainly for not hurting feelings...and certainly not about being racist. I want to smack people upside the head when they say the "colored boy down the street" (as sad as it is...someone said that to me the other day). Or that "nice Oriental man over there helped me" (yup...heard that one recently too!) And I correct those

Wow! Isn't that a huge question...well to some it may not seem to be. But to me it's huge. Especially in this PC world. What if I say the wrong thing? Of course I'll offend someone...it's the way of the world. For the most part I usually don't care...I think we have all become a bit too PC, so PC that in our PCness we end up hurting people so deeply they may never be healed...Am I the only one

I'm here at work and I remember why it sucks. Don't get me wrong it isn't a stressful or taxing job but I walk in at 7:30 am and no one talks....we sit here and look at our computers pretending to work. I work w/ 28 people and 20 of them I wouldn't speak to if I didn't have to. And I'm a VERY social person. I'm the kind of person who talks to the person next to me in line at the Wawa...so you

A friend of mine sent me this survey...it is only 20 miles long. I answered some of it and I guess it can kind of be my bio...not that any one of these things in and of itself says a whole lot about me. I'm sure it can spark some controversy. I got thru the 1st 2 pages and gave up...here those pages are. If I feel up to it maybe I'll do the others at another time!TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The

What the F! My daughter, the 9 yr old princess "S" has just come home from her BBF also known as princess "S" crying.....and why do you ask? Well no one seems to know but S is mad at S to the point that her mother called for me to come get her. Now S's mom is the best...love her to death...but sometimes I think her S is a bit too dramatic...and has a difficult time dealing with her anger to a

I've been blog stalking for sometime now. First it started as a way not to feel so alone with my infertility (shhh!) You know...it's the one thing that no one wants to talk about but everyone knows someone going thru it. And why shouldn't we talk about it?? I mean come on! I am definitely someone who wants to talk about everything...but as I've gotten older I realize 1. not everyone wants to hear
