An Apology

The sponsors of the "Non-Mom" Contest received a barrage of comments and changed the wording of their contest to "Adopting Mom". I think "Mom" is a better title, but anything is better than "Non-Mom". Check out the comment to the below post....a personal apology from Teleflora.

Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously
My own.
Never forget
For a single minute:
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it.

--Fleur Conkling Heyliger

Non-Mom

What's a non-mom? According to the Today show, it's a mother who adopted her child(ren). That's right, according to the Today Show, I'm a "non-Mom" to be. I DON'T THINK SO!!! This makes me angrier than someone telling me, "I wish you could have had your own children". I won't climb onto my soapbox because I'll be here all afternoon, but if you'd like to look at this ridiculous contest for yourself, click here: http://www.americasfavoritemom.com:80/mothers-day-2008/static/semiFinalists. If you'd like to write and complain to these idiots, like I'm about to, you can e-mail them at these addresses:

Thanks for letting me vent,
Tonya, aka MOM -to-be

Three words for you....

three f******g days.

What's this mean? There are now 63 in front of us. If the CCAA continues to not be in a hurry, we're looking at Feb. 2010 for a referral. Yes, you read that number right...2010. If they continue to refer 3 days at a time, we'll be married 8 years, B will be 34 and I'll be 36. Here's my quote of the day, "If you want to see God laugh, make a plan".
