Adopting

I had a plan.  I thought that by the time I reached the big four-o, and I'd go and adopt a child.  Forty for me was the "end" time.  I thought by the time I reached that grand old age, I'd have done everything that I've wanted to do while still single, I'd have reached my goals, in all aspects of my life, career-wise, financial, personal, traveled the world..... Boy, was I wrong!   I mean, I still joke about tying kids on a chair and putting a little alcohol in their milk to settle them down! What kind of parent would I be? Possibly one that is charged with child abuse, that's what!
I know adopting would be the most wonderful thing, but I also know that it is very selfish of me to adopt at this point in my life.  Emotionally and financially, I am not ready.  It would be mighty mighty selfish of me to bring a child in my life when I know I cannot commit to her 100%!  I hope someday soon, I'd be ready but for now,  I can just go about dreaming and working my way to be ready for the child that will borne from my heart.
I came across this video about what parents say about their experience with adoption. I found the clip to be very informative and not preachy, so I hope you enjoy it too.

 To all the parents out there who chose to share their home with children not of their blood, Cheers to you!

Here's something to look forward to next year.

Restaurante Pia Y Damaso

Pia Y Damaso has been around for a long time but I have not found myself wanting to try this restaurant out as I have heard some bad and lukewarm reviews about their food.
