What exactly is appropriate to blog? Are there topics that are off limits? Things that you aren't allowed to talk about? People that you aren't supposed to mention when you are blogging? I have had some interesting familial developments and I can't help but wonder if there are some things you just aren't supposed to say... maybe because it will cause some discomfort among readers? Maybe because when you put it out there, you can't take it back? I am not sure. Are you allowed to disclose problems in your family? Is it permissible to talk about abuses of any kind? Is it OK to tell your side of any story, knowing there is another side that may not agree with your side? Can I regurgitate frustrations and disappointments without sounding like a total maniac? Is there a way to blog all those things without causing massive amount of waves that will forever rock the boat of life? I mean what do you do exactly, when you feel you have something more to say on a subject that may be negative, when you are used to blogging only the positive? Really, feedback would be totally appreciated!
Now that I have regurgitated that mess... moving onward and upward! There will be a happier blog to follow with awesome photos of my sons... Where does the time go?
On a lighter note, we are still in OK and those feet are (obviously) Jackson's with his new John Deere Camo (soft-soled) boots, courtesy of his Daddy, purchased at Atwoods... can I just say... How hick can you get in one week??? They are super cute, though and he will be wearing them all summer with his (very non-hick) summer short outfits. I love something that brings a great smile to my day and these boots did it!!
Speaking of smiling... I went with Ria antique shopping in Kansas (yes, the state) yesterday... tons of fun for a girls morning out... we are less than 20 miles to the Kansas border and we were able to add another state to the lengthening lists of places traveled for Jackson... tomorrow we fly out of Tulsa back to Houston... YAY!
I am going home to Texas tomorrow and really, really looking forward to it... I miss my bed. But, spending time with Steve & Ria has been tons of fun. They are such a loving family and we really appreciate them letting us crash and take over their guest room ... ad really the hole house with all the baby stuff! It has been so amazing to have Jeff & Jackson spend oodles of time together... we all needed this so bad!
And just one more thing to add: Jeff has a phone interview for a position in Houston this morning... we would appreciate all the prayers we can get! Two years of living apart is quite enough!! Very serious hopes and prayers for our family to be back together full time... this commuter thing to and from Houston and Bartlesville is so hard: emotionally and financially!!!
On June 2, 2009 - the great state of Texas finalized our petition to adopt our own son...
