Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

Favorite post

Robin at Pensieve challenged everyone to choose just 1 post from their blog as their favorite. Anyone who has been visiting me for awhile knows I find it impossible to make choices like that.  With me it is always “if this then that except on the second Thursday of the month…”.  Surprisingly, only 2 posts sprang to mind.  And only those who have been reading me for a long time would remember either of them.

The first one was published on May 2, 2006.  It was titled “Ways to pass time while waiting for international adoption”.

The second was published on May 26, 2007.  It was titled “Training to Foster”.

Neither contain any great news – they just make me laugh.  Obviously the news of our referral, news of Sabrina’s adoption being complete, news we were coming home from Antigua, actually hitting US soil with Sabrina, news that my pregnancy might actually take, and news of Tessa’s birth were all much more memorable events…but they were events, not just posts.  For sheer joy of blogging I like those two.  And when forced to choose 1 – I would pick training to foster.  Unfortunately, the comments from them were lost when I moved my blog to wordpress (for the first one) and when we stopped hosting our own sites (for the latter).

If you blog, can you choose just 1 post that is your absolute favorite?

    You can’t make me choose just one, but I definitely like the ones you chose.

    Both are very funny, I remember laughing when I read them the first time around and I laughed this time too. Good post topic. It made me go back and look at my posts and remember what it was like a year or two ago. Made me smile. Thanks.

    Well I’ve been away awhile, but I am proud to say I DO remember both of those posts from way back when! Seems like eons ago now, right? I would have to say that my favorite post (from a blog now mostly defunct) was titled “It’s a boy!”. So glad to catch up on your blog – your girls are beautiful and reading your posts made me remember why I bookmarked you so long ago!!
