I am have tickets and hotel reservations for my trip to Ethiopia with my dad.  It is only 24 days away–which I have to say at this point feels like its an eternity.  I have officially regained all of the weight that I lost while I waited for Minnow’s referral and to bring him home.  I will start that journey again today.  I have set a date for us to begin IVF and I want to lose 70lbs before I start IVF.  So, now I have both the carrot and the stick and the realization that I am SOOOOO tired of being FAT. 

I had my job interview and it was pretty low-key and went okay.  The questions they asked were scripted and odd.  I don’t know if I was articulate as I could be, but I have a lot of experience teaching the population of students that make up the population of this high school.  They have 3 openings in the English department and I can’t imagine a situation where I don’t get one of them.  But we’ll see.  I won’t know until next Wednesday at the earliest. 

I can’t believe that in a month I will have two children at home and will possibly be going back to work.  So many changes and so little time for everything else. 

Minnow is talking more and more and more and more of it is making sense.  He still talks at a rapid clip and his annunciation leaves a lot to be desired.  But we are making progress. 

Oh and he’s learning how to drive–how fast they grow up.
