off and running!

I'm not sure what possessed me to start writing a blog, or why I thought that anyone else might be interested in my random musings, but here I am.  Actually, over the past couple of weeks, since that terrible earthquake struck the small country of Haiti, I have followed the blogs of a few local folks who have been in the process of adopting children in Haiti.  I have prayed for these people with whom I share one degree of separation and I have cried the ugly cry as I read their words of desperation as they tried to bring their children home.  I thank God that, in comparison, I live a very boring life.  I am even more thankful now for those boring, uneventful weekends with my Boys. 

In between the routine of work & school and the chaos of attempting to co-parent with the ex, the angst of a teenager, the precociousness of a first grader and the terror of opening my heart again, I'm just trying to live each day with gratitude and humor.  Thanks for coming along and enjoy the ride!
