So sorry for not blogging this weekend. I just called Kari to make sure she was coming to the Y in the morning and she asked why I hadn't blogged this weekend. I didn't realize I hadn't! Guess my mind has been elsewhere.
I finished the first draft of my next book in 18 days. That's really amazing, even for me. I am on a roll so I'm going to start another one -- if i can keep writing a chapter a day I can really get it done! i have suprirsed myself at how easy the book has come from within me -- and I've had some good feedback. The target audience is not just adoptive parents so it makes me a bit nervous as that is usually my audience, but I think it may have some potential.
We have also had a series of minor disappointments -- Kyle and Christy announcing they won't make it for Thanksgiving, John and Courtney not coming by with Isaac yesterday as promised, and a few other minor things that our children have done that just pile up sometiems if you know what I mean. After a while it just seems like life is disappointint.
I'm tired tonight... but I'll bounce back. ;-) And hopefully I won't forget to blog!

Claudia-
I liked your 24 hour rule idea... I use a similar idea to ward off disappointment. After reminding myself of the limits of my influence [when disappointed in choices made] I give myself an hour to be disappointed and then a deep breath and let it go. Doesn't always work, but it helps.
Good luck!
