But there isn't much of a market for massage where we are in Maine and what market there is, is completely saturated. <BR/><BR/>We lived in downtown Boston before moving to Maine. The entire point of the move was buying a house and being able to afford for me to stay at home. Basically, to start a family. <BR/><BR/>Once TPR happens, we'll have the opportunity to adopt them. We are still on the fence with that but we're hoping some of their psych issues calm down once they aren't seeing their bio mom and being bounced around all the time.

I know when it's ...I'm cheering your swimmers on!! I know when it's my turn I'll be obsessing too so I'm not going to say anything trite or cliche'd. If one more person tells me God only gives you what you can handle I'll probably smack them.<BR/><BR/>I work in an office, and it does suck (although pays generously). I don't know about phoney, you seem pretty normal (just a woman who loves her family, and is doing the most selfless thing and fostering two boys).<BR/><BR/>You moved to Maine so you could be a SAHM? Is it because the cost of living is lower? Did you move from a major metropolitan area? We live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. <BR/><BR/>We just went over our budget and I think I will have to work part-time. Even if I just work at Borders or something. It is my job to pay our taxes. We live in this awesome school district and an area we love, but our taxes are hefty. One more promotion for my husband and we'll be fine. I am proud to say that he is doing GREAT at his job (he's an engineer for a "fortune 500 company"). I would just blurt, but I always feel funny making his stuff public (like his name, poor guy). <BR/><BR/>I had never heard of a Guardian ad litem until I read "My Sisters Keeper". I wouldn't want to be supoena'd either. I had to testify in a grand jury trial against the birth mother who scammed us and a bunch of others. It was nerve racking!<BR/><BR/>It is pretty exciting though!! Doesn't TPR mean that you guys have officially adopted the children? You two will be mommies...all official like.Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335137784267157167noreply@blogger.com
