Merry Christmas!

So. . . what’d you get for Christmas, huh?  Huh?  Huh? 

I got two kids! 

Go ahead, try to beat that.  I dare you. 

I figure I’ll go ahead and get us all a new car for my birthday.  I’ve been looking at the Lexus RX300 and the Nissan Murano. . . and then I’ll have to start thinking about how I’m going to top any of this next year. 

Anyway.  In case you wondered, that’s kinda what’s been keeping me quiet lately.  When you’re waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting) for an adoption hearing, you kinda have to mind your Ps and Qs.  And, Lord knows I have a hard time doing that. . . so it was better to just zip it for a bit.  The adoption was finally signed yesterday, and the little monkeys are officially mine. 

I’ve got months worth of adventures to catch you all up on, and pressuming this whole instant motherhood thing doesn’t keep me too busy, I’ll be gladly catching you all up soon and then I’ll turn this into yet another dreaded mommy blog where all I do is tell you about how adorable my children are or what color their poop is or how quickly they picked up on the meaning of  “WTF?”.  Because that’s what a mommy blog is for.

I know you can’t wait.  Mommy blogs are the best.

Excuse

Most of you seem to think the reason I haven’t been blogging is that I’m too busy what with all of the recent changes and all.  Or. . . that I don’t have internet at home.  Or. . . that I hate you.

While the lack of internet at home, and my pure hatred for every single one of you are certainly factors in the lack of blogging, those aren’t exactly the reason why I’ve been away so long.

The reality is that I, for the first time in my life, am in a position where I can’t be all “my life is an open book”.  And, let me tell you what, Internet, it is hard!  I’m used to freely spilling my guts about everything to everyone. 

Lucky for you, I should soon be relieved of this inconvenience.  There will still be some minor changes (like, I can’t just tell you where I’ll be at any given time and invite you to come along because there are some people who just don’t need to know where to find me).  But, for the most part, well, with the exception of my life being ENTIRELY different from the last time you heard from me, this blog will resume it’s regularly scheduled sarcasm filled schedule. 

For now, enjoy, several decades late, the photos from my skydiving adventure.  I love you, Internet.
