I started my newest job today. Family number five. Keeping everything straight has become another full-time job! All of the kids keep me moving...lets see, I even have to stop to count...I believe I care for seven kids...yes...that's right...in a given week now.
The newest two are three years old and eight weeks (adorable, yes, I know). Funny kid moment: when I asked the three year old if she believed that I was a good "secret-guesser" she said, "No, I only just believe God." Maybe I should start asking her if He's said anything to her about me lately!
The basement of my newest workplace was transformed into a kingdom where I was summoned to be the heroic knight who aided the demanding princess with every problem she could think of - from a dead prince to a sick knight himself! But don't worry, everything turned out "you're okay!" and the illness of death stopped no one in our land.
The knight had to take a much protested break to "rescue" the tired newborn and rock him to sleep. Relieved for the shift in duties, the knight enjoyed the moments of being herself and holding a small one again.
There are things about my job(s) I truly love. However the lack of sleep is not quickly becoming one of them.
Good night.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
