Re-entry is a bitch y’all!
We all are jetlagged, sick (Aven, not so much), exhausted and mommy is disturbed. It is hard to get going when I am sick on a good day, but partner that with jetlag, new mommydom and exhaustion and it makes for serious disorientation. I went for utencils 4 times and each time I looked in the cabinet where I keep the pots and pans. OY!
Now on to the disturbed part: I was alerted by my best bud that blogland had gone through what appeared to be a lockdown with passwords, etc. while I was gone. . . I did some pokin’ around and saw that photos had been lifted and used without permission. Anytime you put something out in cyberspace you run the risk of that, but I understand why it is done. For many, this is the big way we keep in touch with family and friends who might otherwise not be able to have this type of access. It is nice to be able to stay in touch without having to coordinate scheduled visits or phone chats and to be able to visit a blog at your convenience.
I decided some time back that when I got Aven home, I was going to change to a different blog URL as this adoption journey would come to an end. Honestly . . . .I need a fresh start. The process, which started out as fabu, turned traumatic at times. It is also not something I wish to remain attached to for the time being other than for posterity’s sake. Besides . . . . based on our first couple of weeks together, chronicling motherhood should be a pretty wild ride by itself. I want to post honestly about what is REALLY going on and to do that and share pics, I’ll be compelled to password protect much of what I write. I probably won’t have time to make a change immediately, but perhaps over the next week I will. I haven’t decided if I will post the URL here or not, but if I don’t and you want the URL, just email me. . . .
More to follow. . .
P.S. Snuggling with baby Aven rocks!
