Procrastinators Anonymous
Posted: December 1, 2009 at 6:12 am
Hello. My name is Ebenezer and I am a procrastinator. I want to tell you my story but I think I’ll wait until next week’s meeting.
I’ve finally found the root of my writer’s block. It’s not inspiration or motivation. It’s not lack of something to say – let’s face it, NOT having something to say has NEVER been an issue for me. It’s procrastination. I keep putting it off.
Today I was thinking about all of the things on my “to do list” I’ve been putting off. I decided to make a list in hopes of actually crossing something off but then decided to do it later. Seriously. I swear. I even laughed at myself as I closed my laptop and moved on to something else.
I have lots more to say and lots I want to write about.
Maybe tomorrow?
back by unpopular demand

So I got an email from a friend the other day asking me why the posting stopped. I can sum that up in two words:
I’m lazy.
or maybe:
I’m busy.
or maybe:
I’m uninspired.
or maybe:
…. nope. I’m just lazy.
It’s sad how many times a week I file away a thought or story I want to write about. If only I could find the key to unlock that filing cabinet in my brain. By the time I get to have some “alone time” with my laptop. Oh dear. Did I really just say, “alone time” followed by “with my laptop”? I really need to get out more. Anyway, I’m usually just too tired to make any sense. Take this post as an example.
Transition
Posted: October 8, 2009 at 12:10 pm
I’ve figured out why it’s been such a chore for me to post this past year. I started this blog to document our journey to a family through foster care adoption. That chapter has come and gone and I just don’t have much to say about it anymore. I’ve considered starting a new blog but I hate to do that, too.
Now I’m left with wondering what to write about. Day to day family life and parenting. Fitness. (who would have thought THAT would EVER be a topic I’d know anything about! So I’m kinda stuck with a hodge podge of boring posts about nothing at all.
The problem is that I love to write. The bigger problem is I have nothing to write about.

Name Change
Posted: October 5, 2009 at 3:01 pm
I’ll soon be changing all the names associated with my blog – we’ll all be given a new identity just to add another degree of security. A quick google search of all three of my kids’ names will pull this blog up quickly and that’s just not smart. So watch for new names to appear and try not to get confused. 
Our Adoption Story
Posted: September 27, 2009 at 4:19 pm
I’ve been working diligently to change the layout of my blog and clean things up a bit. I finally figured out how to put things in chronological order – you may have noticed a new link to the left. When you click on it, it will display all of the posts regarding our adoption process from beginning to end! So exciting, I know. It’s just such a pain to have to read it all in reverse chronological order.
Still not finished with the editing of it all – picture links at the top don’t all work but I’ll get around to it eventually.
Phew!

In the process of redesigning my site I decided it was time to reorganize and clean house a little. At one point I lost the names of all my categories and after about 5 hours I have corrected it. One can now actually select a category from the dropdown menu and know what to expect. Go me.
That can be found on the Archives page.
And now for the fun part. I only have 1160 posts to go back and add categories to. Holy Crap. Here’s hoping I remember to add them when I post from now on.

Anyone want a purse?
Posted: June 28, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I’m cleaning out the old office and as some of you already know, I have an addiction to purses. It’s time for me to give up most of the collection so I’m giving one away here that I’ve never even used. It still has plastic on the handles. The purse has on zipper pouch on the inside and comes with a medium sized coin purse. So, if you want it, just leave a comment and I’ll put your name in a hat. I’ll draw a name eventually and then mail it to you when I get to the post office. (along with your book, Judy.)
Oh, and I should mention that although it looks like Coach and smells like Coach, it is definitely not Coach. It is a good knockoff, though, from Chinatown in NYC.

Puking Pineapples
Posted: June 8, 2008 at 4:58 am
We ate at Chili’s tonight and Carter and Gracey shared some pineapples. Carter wasn’t hungry and did not touch his cheeseburger, but he downed half a bowl of pineapples. Gracey ate most of a corn dog and the other half of the pineapples.
Pineapples and Dr. Pepper puke is not pretty. Corn dog puke is not pretty either.
Husbands who handle puke clean up are very pretty.
Sweet little girls who puke and then say, “dat’s yucky” are very cute.
Stepping in puke is not cute.
Little boys managing to grab the “can” and get most of the puke in it are wonderful.
Smelling pineapple puke…not so wonderful.
Praying puke fest 08 is over.

Kung Fu Panda

Daddy took Carter to see Kung Fu Panda this afternnoon and I can’t wait for them to come home and hear all about it. 
Gracey and I got to take a nap and that is WAY better than a movie.

Daddy’s Wife
Posted: June 6, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Overheard in our house this morning:
Gracey: I wet. I wet! I WET! Change diaper, pease?
Me: Sit down and finish your breakfast, we’ll change you when you’re done.
Gracey: AHHHH! Change me.
Me: If you don’t like having a wet diaper you should consider peeing in the potty
Gracey: aaaah! Have poo poo
Me: no, you just have pee pee.
Gracey: aaahhhh! change diaper, pease?
Now seriously, if she doesnt like the wet diaper, can’t just pee in the potty.
Carter: Wife! Hey, Wife! Hey, Daddy’s Wife!
Me: (giggling) yes?
Carter: Can you help me fix this?
Me: yes
Carter: Oh thank you daddy’s wife
