I think adoption is a beautiful thing. Whether you bring your adopted baby home from the hospital, or adopt a child that is older, it is a completely wonderful way to create a family. I want to adopt my babies, or children, whoever is in need of my love.

I do not know if you know who Max is. He is a young boy with Autism on Parenthood on NBC on Tuesday Nights. I already love all children, but this show really makes me appreciate all parents because parenting is not easy. It is rewarding, don't get me wrong, but whether your child is a straight A child or a child with some sort of difficulty, there are hurdles to parenting. I have the utmost respect for my parents, and the may not know it all of the time but I don't think anyone is smarter than them, or more in love than them. They are my heroes.

I love this movie, I cannot get over it. When it is on TV I will drop everything to watch it. Nothing is as important as a good laugh. OKAY there are more important things but this movie is just splendid. As funny as it is, I really think it is a grand family movie. This may seem absurd, but it shows a lot of family conflicts and then in an awkward comedy way they come up with resolutions and it has a fabulous ending. Gosh I just smile thinking about it.

reality tv vs reality

Bethenny ever after is a reality show. If you do not know who Bethenny is, I do not know who you are.

BUT really. it is pretty lovely. But this is about something that happened on the show. Her in laws, want to see her daughter Brynn a lot more than Bethenny would like them to because they do not live very close so it takes a whole weekend away if they go to visit. This makes me wonder how much is too much. GRANDPARENTS ARE GREAT, don't get me wrong and it is important to ave them around in the lives of your children if they are still around. But I understand that she wants space, and that some events in the lives of our children should be praised by the family and don't need to broadcast to everyone. Even if that is the only family the grandparents have. One family I babysit for has a really good idea. They have a blog page that dates with pictures and short clips of their children and what the family is up to, so that relatives and close friends can see their lives from all over the country and not have to be there for every event. just a suggestion.

say what?!

Kids. I do not know when I want to have children or who I will have children with. I am in no hurry to settle down, but i do love kids and i cannot imagine my life without them. It would be very dull.

quite often I get really annoyed with my mom because she comes home everyday from working with preschoolers and always has these funny stories to tell. it's not really that the stories are not funny, but my mom is not a good story teller, she makes sure you know every detail of what happened and honestly sometimes it takes so long for her to set the scene that you could care less once the punchline comes around. HOWEVER I am working on my patience with her because I know that I do the same thing. I tell my friends stories about the kids I watch and how proud I am of them when they achieve something new, and I doubt my college friends care at all, but they listen anyways. (but just a tip, when telling a story, think about your main point or the relevance before you start.)

the best part of waking up

Coffee. I was never a big coffee person. NOW I AM. I cannot function through long days of school or work without coffee and I have an amazing appreciation for starbucks and my father. Both of which always have coffee at hand.

I should probably do something of substance right now, considering I have a three hour break and I am sitting in a perfectly good library at a very nice computer. However when I got here I finished a paper and a powerpoint presentation and now I am sorry, nut I would like nothing less than to just be UNPRODUCTIVE before I have to sit in class from 2-940p. So i keep myself busy by looking at peoples blogs and thinking about normal things, like kids, marriage, television shows, and starbucks. These are things that are very commonly on my mind and f I am not thinking about these things I am thinking about shoes and the beautiful pair that will be arriving this week :) However I have a friend, but we have nothing in common. He does not like blogs, twitter, television, movies, or kids. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. It is funny because when my friends and I all go out we all have a good time, and when we are partying we usually do not talk about these things, but in a more intimate setting THIS IS ALL I TALK ABOUT. SO it is interesting to me and something that find pride in that we can be friends. He will probably never read this because he thinks blogs are dumb, but I just think it is something cool. He likes nature and athleticism and you know stuff like that. Which is totally cool, as long as you don't make me do it. He probably likes weird animals and studying as well.
