I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

things shared on the adoption blog that killed me ded.

girls playing a game that has questions on cards. question is: "What is the best thing about your childhood?"

adopted daughter, been here more than a year asks: "What is childhood?"

That is kill me #1.

Childhood is explained as her life now and when she was younger, all the years she is a child.

Without a beat she says "having parents."

DED.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

They're sticking Kanye into every damned thing.

Seriously!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yesterday and today it rained and rained, and after this evening's deluge, I have a lake in my backyard. I just heard on the news that the a sinkhole opened up in the shopping center that's less than a mile away, where I was buying groceries this afternoon.

Rain is good. After four years of watering restrictions, including the six-month period in which there was no watering allowed at all, I will not complain about rain. I just wish it would pace itself better.

“Not dead yet!”

By relocating ourselves, we shake loose the shackles of expectation.

Oh I so relate to this. I will never fit in around Jacksonville. And it's not that I mind not fitting in, but I do mind intensely that my children are made to feel less than because they dare to be different. I can't even begin to tell you how Nate has blossomed away from his old school and having the freedom to interact with other kids strictly via online classes. Yesterday, he turned to me, and completely out of the blue said, "I love school, Mom. I really love learning again because I feel like I can."

So I know I can give him that, but I want a broader sense of that for him and for Abby and yeah, for myself. I want to be able to breathe again and feel as if I'm myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Your link is wonky, bon.

I can't believe someone bothered to register a whole domain.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hi ita, have you met the internet?
