My Blog Needs A New Name
So I think I want to change the name of my blog. I'm not gonna start using code names for the kids or anything, but I have been thinking that perhaps using my last name in the title is not the best idea. Also, when I named this blog 500 years go, I really had no idea what a blog was. I was just using it to post updates on Mark's accident back in the day. I think 2 people read it at the time. There are so many cute and clever blog titles out there. Here are some that I like:Blogging is the New . . .
the pressure of social networking
Alright, I've submitted to the Facebook peer pressure. I can't even count how many times I've been tagged to do this. My list of 25 random things:Both of my parents are high-level black belts in Tae Kwon Do, and ran a karate studio while I was growing up. When kids started fighting about whose dad could beat up the other dads, I was always pretty sure mine would win.I would like to live in a hotel. It's a dream of mine to be in vacation-mode 24/7 and have someone clean up and make my bed every . . .
Kristen tackles the issues
Okay, this is a meaningless post where I am gonna comment about some of the stuff I'm watching on tv. Because I am in my third trimester. And anemic and weak and feeling really crappy. AND I'M WATCHING A LOT OF TV.The Bachelor - thank goodness 34-year-old pageant girl Stephanie is gone. When she broke into "opera voice" last week I almost threw up in my mouth. I'm all for opera voice if you are joking around. I don't think she was joking. Her clothes make me think she believes she is 12 years . . .
Ou pral rete avek nou.
Ou pral rete avek nou - You are going to live with us.I've been having a discontented week. If you've been pregnant, you know that feeling when you are nearing the end, and you are just OVER the wait, and ready for the baby to be born already? Yeah, that's how I feel times two right now. I'm anxious for our baby girl to be born, but I'm also feeling a growing sense of wanting and needing Keanan home.I know it's mostly about me, because he is perfectly happy where he is at. There were several . . .
Miss Manners Tackles Transracial Adoption
This was in last week's Miss Manner's column:Nosy people don't deserve replySunday, January 25, 2009By JUDITH MARTIN Dear Miss Manners : We are a noticeable family, as our children are black and my husband and I are white. We draw an inordinate amount of attention.While this was manageable when the girls were infants and couldn't really understand what was being said, now that they are getting older and are acquiring language, we are trying our best to learn how to field some of the questions . . .

Why sleep when you can read?
India seems to inherited my tendency to read books while I should be sleeping. This is often the scene I find when I come to get her out of bed in the morning, or after her nap. At bedtime, she is the queen of stealth, and will tiptoe out of bed and systematically "read" every book on her shelf. It's cute, but one of these days I will need to explain to her that this habit will not serve her well once she has actual responsibilities in the morning. But for now, I'm letting it go. . . .

Jafta and the Amazing Monochromatic Dreamcoat
It's been fun to watch Jafta emerge into a little man this year. He has truly matured so much, and I love this transition from 3 to 4. I have to admit, I am not one of those moms that relishes the toddler years. I am enjoying this stage where he is developing into a cool little person. Jafta's birthday was last month, and he received a Target giftcard. He called it his "credit card". (Hmmm, no clue where he learned that concept . . .) He was so excited to go to the store and pay with his own . . .
Universal Mommy Truth
Universal Mommy Truth: If you go to the park with the Razor, it will not be used. If you take the time and effort to pack it up and carry it from the car, it will assure that the Razor will be ignored for other park activites.If, however, you leave the Razor at home, you will discover that every other child at the park has their Razor with them that day. It will be the only thing your child can think to do. They will gaze with envy and longing at the children whose mothers' brought the Razor. . . .
