neglect

Well, thanks to Hua for the kick in the ass ;) I'd totally forgotten about this blog.

So the update on my foot . . . original diagnosis was INCORRECT, I have a fractured heel, and have had since October 2008. I have been in a cast now since October 2009. Which means no exercise, which means I've gained back 7 of the 20 lbs. I lost last year.

I can only lose weight if I exercise (due to the PCOS).

Nothing new to report on the adoption front. The whole thing just pisses me off. Our social worker basically told us to go someplace else, even thought they are supposed to work for us for three years.

Work sucks. They are taking more health insurance stuff away from us and charging us more.

I have a plan.

1. get foot healed
2. get a new job
3. move if necessary for new job
4. adopt!

It seems to me that money is what's keeping us from being able to adopt. It just SHOULD NOT be that way. We have a home to offer a child who does not have one. Why should that cost us $40,000???

And EVERYONE keeps asking "why don't you just adopt from Haiti?" hello? people? educate thyself! The kids in Haiti may have living relatives, if so that's who they belong with, and it could take ages to find that out. So those children in Haiti may not be available for adoption for YEARS. Adoption is not like getting a puppy at the pound! These are HUMANS we are talking about.

Ok, done ranting and raving.

Still hoping I'll magically get pregnant, but with 45 looming large, I fear my chance is slim to none. Or maybe someone will leave a baby in a basket on our front steps . . .
