Diaper Free?

Now that I am approved by my social worker to adopt I thought I better start thinking more about little things like daycare, strollers, cribs, nurseries, and apparently potty training. I really didn't know potty training was such a big deal until I came across an organization called Diaper Free Baby. Basically, they believe you can potty train your little one beginning as early as you can stand it therefore making life so much better for you and your baby. Well...ummm...okay...I guess the idea of not putting a wet diaper on my kid is much better for her but is it really much better for me? How am I supposed to potty train a 4 month old? Who the heck has all of that time to decide when her infant needs to go to the potty? Who is going to sit with her all day and night and look for those little signs on her precious face and wonder, does that mean a tinkle or a #2? Oh, boy...imagine that visual! I'm sorry but I love my little Baby I (can I love a baby I have no idea who it is yet?) and I can't wait for her to get here but I'm not gonna lie to ya, I adore my beautiful furniture and my designer clothes (go ahead call me shallow...I don't care!). I just can't even imagine carrying that kid around with a bare bottom thinking please don't pee yet, please don't pee yet, and for heaven's sake please don't recycle those split pees Mommy gave you for lunch. And, I have another question: Are you stuck in the house during this entire time? How do you go to the store, a friends home or even church? To the lady next to you in church as you child pees on them: "OH my. I'm so sorry! We are practicing elimination communication and you know accidents do happen. It's only a little urine, it will come out in the wash!" Yea right!

I'm sure being diaper free is better for your baby. I'm sure it will prevent UTI's, diaper rash, save the environment and all of that stuff but hey, diapers were good enough for me (and I never and any of that stuff) they will be good enough for Baby I. Plus, from what I hear, all of the new fangle advances with the diaper industry, I think Baby I will be just fine and dry in her diappies!

This Week's Updates

Sorry, I've been ghost this week, but I've had technology problems.  My computer crashed, so I had to buy a new one.  I got a lovely little MacBook that I am in love with!  I think I may love this more than or as much as my TIVO!  For all of you Mac fanatics out there, now, I understand!  Now, I understand! Dang, I love this thing, albeit I still haven't figured out how to use all of the functionality (the reason why you have no pictures showing my extreme excitement)!  If you need a computer get on board.  It takes a little getting used to, after 20 years of using a PC, but the functionality is way cool!  

Now, here is the biggie.  I got an email from my social worker today.  I am officially home study APPROVED!  That's right folks, this girl is officially on her way.  He mailed off my paperwork to USCIS today.  He said it should be about two months before I receive approval from them to adopt.  Can you believe it?  Neither can I!  Now on to the next set of "dramady."

And finally, work is picking up and I'm very busy.  The market (the recession, I believe) still stinks but I'm busting my rear so Baby I can come home!  November cannot come fast enough in DC.  I look forward to the city changing over and things starting anew!  Plus, spring is in the air so what a perfect time for me to start busting my hump right?  :-)  Seeing all of the new baby pictures from everyone that has gone to pick up their little one, as well as all of the referrals that seem to be coming daily has inspired me.  I'm moving, I'm moving...okay, I'm thinking faster!  LOL  

VIDEOS ARE DONE!!!!!

I made a deal with Haze this morning that I would get all of my videos done this weekend so instead of torturing myself all weekend I sat in front of the computer all day! I'm DONEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee! Yeah Baby! Completed home study to follow this week! On to my dossier! Baby I here Mommy comes. Oh happy day!

News Flash

I am releasing myself from punishment for five minutes to bring you this video I saw on the news this morning. They put PAPs through the ringer and then there are mothers like this!!! I was/am flabbergasted. The last thing I heard this morning was the investigation showed the baby was not harmed AND they left the child in the mother's care! Are they freakin insane? This is not normal discipline by any stretch of the imagination...1200 lbs of water pressure on a 2 year old! They are all idiots!

On Punishment

I've put myself on punishment until I finish viewing my videos (no blog writing for me). I'm now down to 6, see you next week.....whomp whomp.

Blog Name???

Maybe I should just change the name of my blog to Adult Boredom Disorder or Adult Deficit Disorder...I know it's Attention Deficit Disorder but maybe my problem is I don't want to be an adult...maybe I'm missing that gene! LOL Is that why I eat twizzlers, wear big goofy slippers, love to play in the dirt, run around in the rain, go to Dave and Busters, play flag football and eat cotton candy until I'm sick? Or is it that I just want to enjoy this little bit of youth I have left. I finally understand the saying...youth is wasted on the young. Oh, yea...Tami, go watch a video!!!!!! I'm going!!!!!!!!!

Not Working Out As Planned

Well, my ADD/ABD got the best of me and I'm behind. I bet you predicted that! I have two meetings tomorrow that I'm getting prepared for so, I have only viewed 1 of the 10 videos! I know, I know, I know! Hmmm...this isn't working out as planned. Does anyone have the answers to the quizzes I can buy? Just kidding!!!!!!!!
