It has been raining a lot here lately. I told my kids they could build an inside fort and they said they didn't know how. I guess none of their foster parents ever let them build one before. After we got it built, they played in...

girlgonefishing That would be REALLY nice. I speak very good spanish already but, I learned German in the 6th grade and have forgotten all of it except for counting. I would love to be able to learn it again.

girlgonefishing I agree. Too much TV can be a bad thing but, a little bit of the educational TV every day has helped my kids a lot.

Do you like to eat all of your restaurant food or take some home to eat later? My favorite way of eating in a restaurant is to share the food. It is fun to split a sandwich, for example. At the moment, though, I am eating some...

girlgonefishing I never can eat all of the food I order when I go out. I always want the bread or breadsticks that you get at some restaurants and I also love the salad. I'm usually almost full by the time my entree gets to the table. LOL I am not ashamed to ask for a...

girlgonefishing Ha!! Yes, I have bribed a policeman before. My Dad used to be the chief of police and I bribed him all the time. LOL I also would use my Dad's name whenever I got pulled over for speeding. I really miss those days. Now I have to go the speed limit.

girlgonefishing I hate being home without my husband at night. I have 5 kids but, it just isn't the same without my husband here. I love him so much and miss him when he is away. Thank goodness he has only had to travel twice this year.

We adopted 2 boys 3 years ago and now we are adopting 3 more kids. We have been fostering them for almost a year now and they are finally adoptable. It should take about 3 months and then they are ours!!! Would you adopt?
