In keeping with the more recent entries, I will say that I have yet to be able to adopt my girls. It's just a matter of finances, which kinda pisses me off, but hey, that's life. We don't have much longer until our house is paid off. Then, we'll have some other big issues to square away, but I've managed to start a savings account, so maybe while we're squaring those away, I can save up money and think of the savings account as the "Adoption Fund". I haven't given up, and I will not EVER give up.
How I wish everyone could know my daughter Elisabeth and her awesome little son, whom we call "Bug". That's a nickname I had as a child. My Memaw - Mama's Mama - used to call me that, so it seemed like a really neat thing that now I have a grandson to call "Bug", too. We are both Jrs, so it only seemed appropriate. "Bug" was shortened from "June Bug".
Since I last wrote, there have been some major life changes. For starters, both of my grandmothers died in the last year. Nanny died from cancer in December 2010. Memaw died of old age, I suppose, in May 2011. It was hard losing them both so close to each other, but it has also been a strange kind of blessing. It's like it unlocked some mysteries for me.
For the moment, I am going to stop writing. It is still early in the morning, and my coordination is not at its peak.
Take care!
