We spent the weekend in Indianapolis where Brett ran a mini-marathon. He did very well, thanks for asking. It’s his second half-marathon this year. Then we took Noah to the Children’s Museum which is huge. They had the top of the building done up like a giant birthday cake and for some reason Noah keeps calling it “that rockin’ museum”.
On the way home we sang showtunes until we were hoarse. At one point Noah crowed, “Mommy! Sing another song from Annie!” I said my throat hurt and Brett leaned over and said, “You better go ahead and do it. This may be the only time in your life that someone actually requests that you sing Tomorrow.”
My brother, who is a regular reader of this blog, will understand the humor behind that.
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.
