This blog is supposed to be about the state of my mind on any given day. Right now…I’m impatient.
We have done everything we possibly can towards our adoption paperwork and now it is all up to others.

Ever been reading along in a book and gotten so frustrated with the struggles that the hero/heroine is going through that you feel an almost overwhelming desire to turn to the last page and see how it all turns out?

I don’t know how many of my readers have wanted children and not been able to have them. So I don’t know if this will have meaning for you.

For those who don’t know, I started this blog so I could work through my feelings and thoughts about my infertility. So if you’ve been enjoying the recipes and fun stuff, great. I’ll get back to that in a bit, but for today I’m working through something and I want the help of [...]

I discovered today that my boss knows me waaaaaay too well.
When I walked in to work this morning he was standing near my desk having a discussion about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue with another co-worker.

do you ever feel like God gives you a lesson just in time for you to pass it on to a friend or a random person who needs it?
