Every 10K visit mark gets easier to get to—they come closer and closer together.
However, I'm not yet at the point that I can claim I'm getting all Dan Rather's old viewers. Not yet.

I tell a friend of my husband's that we'll be asking the customer-service people at the California Highway Patrol to check the positioning of our car seat, to make sure the tolerances are correct. He tells me, "what they're telling you is not the real world of parenting."
I want to answer, "it's the real world of adoptive parenting, where the standards are consistently higher than they are for any biological parent."
But I hold my tongue and remind myself that if there's ever an accident when my baby is in the car, I'll be happy the seat was installed correctly.
I first decided that I did indeed want to become a mother 14 years ago. We started trying six years ago. Even if we're approved, we'll probably have to wait another two years before we're matched with a biological mother and can anticipate actually getting a child.
It's been a long road, and with a little luck we'll be approved in November. Our social worker is coming by for a home visit on the 10th.
You'd think that three weeks would be enough time to clean, straighten, and baby-proof (to social-worker standards) a 2800-square-foot house.
But I'm shaking in my T'ai Chi shoes. So wish me luck. (And tell me what your best cleaning/organizing tips and favorite safety gadgets are.)

I'm on Yahoo, and it's gone from bad to just horrible; I can't even get my mail half the time and when I do I can't respond to it.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Got one. Thank you for playing.
