I’m just sitting at job #2 and realizing that I am LONG overdue for an update. The masses are just clamoring to know what is going on in my ever-impressive life.
The past month has been really busy; I’ve started working at a local non-profit three nights a week. I just sit here for a few hours and make sure the building is secure before I leave. Not mentally or physically taxing. Why pick up an extra job? A few reasons:
- Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat. Gomefry and I have committed to doing Sub-for-Santa and I will not have disappoint children at Christmas on my conscience.
- We are trying to pay down some debt faster. Necessary, but not exciting.
- We are contemplating adding to our small, but sensational family. So some ready money is our ticket to secret society of Parents
We’ve decided to stick around the area for another 18 months. Hopefully we’ll have all our ducks in a row before we head to graduate school.
You may notice the new widget to the side. That is a new site I’ve stumbled across. It’s fantastic. Lately I’ve been really concerned about raising children in a multicultural world. Most of the contributors are in multicultural families. They are adoptees, adoptive parents, or involved in interracial relationships. The posts have really resonated with me. Either because I’ve had similar experiences or they have given voice to feelings I’ve had.
I don’t want to sound like I’m wallowing in painful memories. As we contemplate adding to our family, I have a big desire to help my children love and be proud of who they are.
