Well, another day spent daydreaming, longing, running numbers.It is only sensible to think of the finances-not just the finances to facilitate a second adoption but the quality of life I could provide for two children. We don't need fancy things but enabling us to take summer vacations(local to Ontario Cottages) gymnastics, skating,music lessons etc., does equal quality of life. Olivia was quick to say tonight--randomly-although an episode of Ellen featuring "spots" on the world may have spurred her--"we can't go to China and "get" another child.We'd have to go to Ethiopia" ..."because China changed the laws" "But we can still visit China" YES-we can. Homeland visit= also equals finances.
Reading blogs. Finding delight in others experiences and joy.

by the way, really none of my beez-nuss, but you DON'T need a second blog- just do it all in one! :) Your life, is ONE life, yes? Or do you have Sybil tendencies!? ;)
Oh yes-Sybil tendencies. That's really just a question for Olivia and my mother - AKA the roomate, isn't IT??@#&^*. My first blog was set up by a friend, so I wanted to see if I could do it, myself. AND IF I do adopt again--one blog dedicated to that journey.
I grapple with this too! I don't think kids need everything materialistically. As long as I can find a way to get away a week a year (summer vacation), afford a couple of activities a term etc. I try not to waste money eating out or convenience food(I read somewhere most families of 4 spend $5000 a year in unnecessary food!!)
