Maggie Makes Four!

This journal started off documenting the adoption of our youngest daughter. It now follows the twist and turns of our lives as we raise these two amazing little creatures into the best women they can become.

Updates

In a meeting today with two other Moms, Woman A was getting emails (on her phone) about foil needed for a hot dog sale the next day, Woman B's husband was packing for vacation and couldn't find the swim goggles so he called, Woman C's husband texted wanting to know what was for dinner. Then we had a good laugh. How are we supposed to do business under these conditions? It was so pathetic.

Earlier that day, I received a video email from my family. The Magster lost her second tooth while eating lunch at the Hop Yard. She didn't swallow it as her Dad thought. It somehow fell from her mouth and landed under her chair where La Nina found it. She felt nothing, didn't bleed, it sort of just leapt out. How does this happen? It's a mystery.

Before I started my new job, the Dad bought me a new iPhone. Now, I'm not a gadget person. Prior to this phone, I regularly forgot my phone at home and left it uncharged, I was just pathetic. Now, I'm never without my phone. I love it. I've used the GPS to find the skating rink, I use the grocery gadget to keep one shopping list for the Dad and I to coordinate the grocery shopping, I actually text all the time, I get email at work (if you use the right account), I frankly, don't know how I lived without it. After all these years of carrying a cell phone, I finally really like it.

That's it for now. Good night everyone.

Where's One Lucky Mom?

I think the question is where isn't One Lucky Mom. Since I blogged last, I've been in 4 states, in the mountains, on the beach and even in an office working. Yes, you read that right...I landed a job.

A quick recap: With the family we drove 1,000 miles on the annual trip to Colorado. After being gone 10 days, we returned home and two day later I started a job. I worked three days, then we packed up the car and headed to Pismo Beach for the Magster's travel group reunion. When came back from that trip, just in time for me to get the grocery shopping done and get back to work. And that's where I've been ever since.

This weekend is the first weekend since May (yes, May!) when we don't have something major happening. We define major as a dance recital or a trip out of town. So, if you're wondering where I've been, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
