I am a do-er. I'm a planner and director - I'm very good at setting goals and then making things happen so that I can get where I want to be. That is, I've been very good at those things until this year.
This year, I've learned the hardest lesson - that just because I've made up my mind and I like the timing, things don't just happen. And really, I think I get it. Really. I'm not just saying that I get it so the Universe will ease up. I'm cool.
Sparky and I moved into our house just over 2 years ago. When we did that, we immediately started trying to make a baby. Well, it's been 28 months now and there's still no baby on the way. That's had some hard moments. I even had a couple of months when I was trying to talk Sparky into saying that we just wouldn't have kids - that we'd be DINKs for the rest of our lives. I'm so glad that Sparklestone already had a great command of the P-word because he just wouldn't go for it. We're still trying and we've made a deal that if I'm not preggers after 2 more assisted tries, we're gonna adopt a baby. Or four. And then I'm sure I'll get pregnant.
We've also been trying to sell our house in this seriously cooling-off market. Only we didn't have any idea how cool the market was getting when we listed our house - so we had a bit of anxiety over the fact that it took 2 months to get an offer. Then after getting the offer - get this - the buyers didn't settle. That's right, they backed out of the deal after 2 stinkin' weeks of being in default of contract. So our house is back on the market. We had a week of serious bile - serious bile - but what are you gonna do?
July was a tough month, but we're just plowing ahead. I can't control everything. You hear that, Universe? Now you might as well start cooperating b/c I'm not fighting anymore anyway.
And speaking of patience, I'm a little astounded that blogspot still has my blog active. Dang.

It's active because of freaks like me who still check it every couple days. :)
I know you'd be back. You need to come visit, and we'll gorge ourselves on shushi like the old days.
Sushi fixes everything.
Mmmmm, soooooshi.
when i read this section if I'm not preggers after 2 more assisted tries, we're gonna adopt a baby. Or four, i first thought you meant maybe four more assisted tries and it suprised me...cause they kinda suck.
don't forget that we sail now.
Yeah, those assists suck real bad. So you didn't get freaked out about adopting 4 babies??
We'd need a bigger boat.
speaking of planning I hope you are makeing a plan to be out on the left on Feb 24 of next year.
