Peaceful, easy feeling
posted in NaBloPoMo, OmegaDad, OmegaMom, Reader Input, Writing the Blog |The dotter was “grounded” today from playing at other kids’ houses or having them over, due to yesterday’s misunderstanding. But we did send her off to “Parents’ Night Out”, mainly because I wanted a quiet evening with OmegaDad.
We rented a movie. He bought smoked salmon and an array of cheeses and crackers, we had grapes and home-grown carrots and sugar snap peas and dilly dip.
We watched the movie (”Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist”–sweet and odd and funny). We ate. We joked with each other. It was relaxing and peaceful.
I have two or three post ideas rolling about in my head:
- In extremis - I read Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer. There was a scene in there that made me think of this last year’s Iditarod race, and how people who choose to go into an extreme situation, a possibly competitive situation, may view “moral situations” differently.
- A slew of interesting adoption posts have hit my blog reader recently. There’s the question of “should you adopt internationally/interracially?” There’s the question of “should international adoptive parents try to ‘open’ the adoption/perform birthparent searches?” There’s the question of international adoptive parents who deliberately close the door on the culture-of-origin.
- Q&A - Ask me questions! I need post ideas!
Later, gators.
