Day 10 - Favorite Classic Book

Little Women.  Except for the parts with Daisy and Demi which are just boring.  Also, Jo and Laurie should have gotten married.

I agree with everything you just said about Little Women. I finally got around to reading it about 3 years ago and wondered why I had waited so long! I loved it! My all-time favorite classic is Alice in Wonderland. I've loved that one since I was a wee little lass.

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorites too, the complete whimsical crazy silliness is right up my ally even if I don't get all of it.

M is for Mother

Motherhood is more than carrying a child in your womb for 9 months. Motherhood is more than daily wiping of noses, cleaning of faces, filling of bellies. Motherhood is more than driving, shopping, cleaning, cooking. Motherhood is part of being a Woman, but not all of it. It is part of growing up, for some of us. It is conducive to gaining appreciation, but not for everyone. I was still a child myself, really, when I became a Mother. Joshua and I did a lot of growing up together. We both learned a lot about sacrifice. I learned how to say good-bye to him in the morning, he learned that separation from Mother wasn't such a bad thing after all. Especially since he got to go to Grandma's house (which, sorry Disney, was the happiest place on earth). I learned I could love someone until my heart might burst and be completely enraged at the same time. He learned that the wrinkling of my forehead was not a good sign for anyone. We learned a lot about time, more specifically abo...

Mine is not to question why...

When we are kids we ask questions like 'why is the sky blue?'. Now that I am an adult, I ask different kinds of questions...here are a few I thought of today while making some mac-n-cheese and doing dishes: ~ Why do people* leave dirty laundry on the floor next to the dirty laundry basket? ~ Why does my father-in-law save the milk top rings? ~ Did my laundry take it literally when God said to multiply and replenish the earth? It seems to have the concept mastered. ~ How is it that dinner takes an hour to make and 5 minutes to eat? ~ Did the laundry teach the dishes how to multiply and replenish too?? ~ In what way is using plastic cups and paper plates more sensible? ~ What is it about cooking outside that makes things taste better? ~ How come I have a cupboard full of food and nothing to eat? ~ Just how does my mom's voice come out of my own mouth? ~ How come boys have no problem 'going' in the shower, but are grossed out by cleaning the toilet? ~ Where did that ...

Dear Carly,

I assume that one day you will come to me wanting to know who you are, where you came from, where your other family is and why they gave you to us.  I offer you little bits of information already, but certainly not crumbs enough to satisfy the appetite.  Perhaps it won't matter to you.  I am assuming a lot, already, about how adoption will impact your life. People often wonder why adoptive parents are hurt when their children seek out biological roots.  I have the answer, and it's very simple.  Adoption - at its core - makes us question the legality, authority, voracity, and validity of parenthood.  For most adoptive parents, first you must come to terms with an issue that strikes at the foundations of mortality: fertility.  From birth, most of us are driven to form families.  First we are nestlings, nurtured and weened and eventually taught to fly.  Then we are nest-builders, filling our lives with the stuff necessary to drive life forwar...
