Jamie was sick last weekend with a fever and stuffy nose and missed his first soccer game, a birthday party, and a regular get together with other families. I was off the Friday before last to take care of him, and then last Monday because I got what he got, and MD missed a day [...]

Thing 1 & Thing 2
Posted in MeMeMe on August 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I came back from vacation with two big realizations. The first is a “duh” moment of re-awareness, while the second has prompted a lot of thought in a what happens next kind of way.
Realization #1 (duh): I like nature
Actually, I don’t just like nature. It feeds my soul in a way that I often minimize. [...]
My adoption triad: My mother
Posted in It’s A Family Thing, MeMeMe on August 5, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I’m not sure how to approach this point on the triangle. I’ve written so much about my mom here. Just check out my archives from last July and August. It’s been almost a year since she died and I am in a completely different place now that started with me realizing (or re-remembering) that once [...]
My adoption triad: My grandma
Posted in MeMeMe on July 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve talked a lot here about my relationship between my grandma and me. I’m not even going to link – just check out the whole category if you’re curious. When I was a child she mothered me like one might expect and there was a lot that was normal about our relationship. I even benefited [...]
My adoption triad: Part 1 (updated with links)
Posted in It’s A Family Thing, MeMeMe on July 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Just writing that title feels a little funny. I never thought of my story as part of the adoption narrative, but ages ago when Dawn and I were talking, she made a comment about kinship adoption being especially difficult because of the pre-existing relationships. Especially in a case like mine, where the adoptive mother was [...]
Quiet

I know I’ve been quiet here. I write so many posts in my head these days and never get a chance to sit down and write them for real. Same with email - I write emails to people in my head and then forget that I never sent them. I’m pretty sure this is just [...]
Almost there

I got scolded a lot in my dreams last night. And I kept trying to get to my work calendar online and couldn’t. Typical anxiety dreams – I’m wrapping up a month-long series of events today and let me tell you, I am NOT an event management person. Sure, I’m competant and I get the [...]
Another Sunday catch-up post
Posted in Life happens, MeMeMe, My guy, tagged Cory on April 5, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I fell asleep on the couch Friday night instead of cleaning the kitchen & running the dishwasher. We’re just now getting caught up. It’s Sunday afternoon. People! And their eating!
We went to the zoo yesterday to get a peek at the baby elephant but alas we were a half hour too late. So if you’re [...]
