Planting Seeds and Throwing Rocks

The economy is bad. Our finances are tight. This city is transient. My child’s school is in danger of losing their charter. But my kids are healthy, my wife is strong and beautiful and intelligent, and I’m at peace.

The government, via an outsourced agency, says we are now “approved” to adopt through the state system. Super. The long process is finally seeing light in the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel is another child in our family. This is crazy…and exciting. I hate being bored. I’m never bored with kids in the house. What else am I going to do? Travel and eat out all the time?
