Image by scribbletaylor via FlickrI haven't blogged lately because, frankly, life is a bit crazy. Will is in the middle of finals, tuition is coming due for his summer classes, I've been completely immersed in planning our Ireland vacation, dealing with some family issues, we both need major car maintenance (think timing belts), and we're trying to figure out how to pay for an adoption. Writing has, sadly, fallen to the back burner temporarily. With my head traveling in so many different directions, it's hard to concentrate. So...I haven't done any writing in about three weeks despite the fact that I have a great new idea for my heroine's occupation. It would tie in nicely with the hero's occupation.I'm also considering doing some sort of adoption fundraiser when we get our paperwork started. Most likely, it will all be online if we decide to do it. Honestly, with our opposite schedules, it's going to be too difficult to do it any other way. I've been holding off on the paperwork because so much life has hit us, but we're in agreement that we'll file it when we return from Ireland late this summer. Hopefully, by that time, some of the up-in-the-airness of our lives will have settled down and we can get back to some semblance of normal. Because, the truth is, as much as I've balked at starting a family, now that I'm ready, I just want to get this show on the road. It's hard to feel like we're in limbo. And every time I see a family with an adopted Asian child, I sigh with a bit of jealousy...because I want it to be us.
I know life isn't on hold, but sometimes it can feel that way. I guess I just have to find a way to break the great big logjam.
