"June 19, 1985: Dear Diary,
On May 3rd, 1985 here is what happened....." Makes no sense, right?
Well speaking of sense... I don't know that I do anymore (make sense). I am on so many hormone pills, what with trying to induce lactation and all... plus I gotta admit I'm kinda punchy after homeschooling all day and then swigging down a cocktail of caffeine and mate (read "mah-tay") in hopes of keeping my eyes open long enough to dig out from under the heap of sticky notes on my desk. I can't read half of them, and the ones I can make out don't tell me a thing about what I am supposed to be doing...
Anyway, I will get back to the more serious job of explaining our journey at some point, but for now I had to just had to report in with some musings on the things that swirl around in the vortex I once thought of as my head.
We are planning this fund-raiser to help with adoption costs, and as if I have nothing better to think about (like preparing my home and heart for a baby) I lie awake at night thinking fund-raiser stuff... the stuff Lizzy is supposed to be worrying about, not me.. The "coordinator" as I call her, Lizzy, asked that I send her the list of things I can't stop contemplating in the wee hours. See below:
Things that go "bump" in the night: For Lizzy:
who's gonna set up the place?
who's gonna clean up the place?
is fred really gonna decorate?
who's gonna magistrate?
what about signage?
what about wattage?
who's doing silent auction?
this is real, this adoption?
when do I do email invites?
should we put up christmas lights?
how on earth do we get people there?
my god... I forgot to change my underwear.
