Radomness

Stopping into the holiday blur for all my non-commenters.  The Strong Willed Wonder is doing fantastic!  I am so proud of her!  Can I tell you guys a secret?  I want to become a foster parent of an older child.  I'm not so nuts that I think I can handle a second baby with all my sleep needs and MS, but I do like kids.  Today I was researching volunteering for foster homes.  I don't know that I would necessarily like to permanently add to our family, but I would like to spend more time with other kids and I like older kids.  Dirty secret?  I liked the 4 and 5 years so much better than the 2 and 3.

BTW, at Thanksgiving my brother did a very uncharacteristic thing and gave me a big welcome hug.  Then I noticed my SIL was only drinking water.  Also not typical.  I don't know if they were finally successful and she is pregnant, or I'm just being paranoid based on my experiences.   My SIL is not very open about her personal life so even if she and my brother had pursued IF she would never have told me, and my brother tends to take on the personality of his significant other.  Since they are so closed the chances of being active in any cousin's life is pretty slim anyway :-(.
