I’m new to your blog, and just wanted to say that this post really resonates with me in lots of ways. I’ll be reading from now on!

I hear you..and I can imagine your funk’s shade of purple. When my father was very ill last year - I came very close to seeing him living with a long term disability. Not a pretty sight. You’ve got a lot of heavy things going on now & the radio silence is understandible and necessary.

I do look forward to hearing your thoughts on Bloglines…very much.

As always you have something very poignent to say, and something that always makes me try to reevaluate some of my own thoughts dancing in my head.
I am not sure how many more hoops the CCAA can invent to have us jump through like trained circus animals, but we seem to just keep jumping.

So here’s hoping that it only sets you back the 2 weeks as opposed to the other end of the scope. Because you know we are all as excited for you to go get Emme as if we were going to go pick up our own child!! I can’t believe it has been over 3 months since your LOI, grumpy and funk would be nice words for how I would be feeling.

Look forward to the post floating in your head.

I never even thought about how odd we must look adopting from China and killing elsewhere. Wow, seriously neve thought about that.

I am sorry you are grumpy. We could be grumpy together!

I’m so sorry for all these effin’ delays. And your dad. I can’t imagine how difficult that is. And yes, while my parents are in their early 60s and still in good health, I often think about the fact that they will not be able to share in the same activities with my children that I enjoyed with my grandparents. And J’s mom is 84…

Am so looking forward to all your planned posts — tantalizing one and all.

Statement of Commitment? WTF??? Redundant and how. I am so sorry about all this crap. Dealying TA’s 3-12 weeks???? F*ck f*ck f*ck. We thought you’d be with E.L. by now. Thanks for reminding you, eh?
I’ll be waiting for the bloglines/ranch house/bonafide secret posts. Thinking of you, good woman.

I’m sorry about the funk! You’re in an IWANTMYBABYNOW! mode, and that’s hard to take.

Did you get burst pipes? We did. Oh, joy. -16F this a.m. Bleah.

Every so often a funk comes upon on all of us. I like to think on the bright side it brings some deep deep reflection and soul searching into our lives and we are richer for it… once we work out the funk that is.

I know it’s not easy to come out of, so do what you need to, to get through it.

I can so relate to your feelings about your aging parents. My mother had Parkinson’s and Altzheimers and it was so very difficult to watch her life crumple in on itself. I hope you are able to bring Emme Lu home soon.

Can’t wait to hear all about the Arizona secret! I’m intrigued.
This waiting and uncertainty takes it’s toll, doesn’t it?
