As I peruse Bloggyland this evening I am overwhelmed by the common thread of New Years goals and resolutions. I think it is very impressive but it is not for me. I have never been one to set impossible goals at the beginning of the year which is odd because I am very driven and very goal oriented but I can't stand the pressure and thought of defeat so early into a new and fresh beginning.
However this year I am crawling back into my adoption hole and taking the family with me. As much as it was a lonely ride on our journey to Lily, with the only news we ever got coming straight from our agency, it was a calm one. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss. So this year I am swearing off of the RQ site and all of the groups that give me hives and hysteria. It isn't the fault of the groups but the fault of my type A personality. I will, of course, because I am not totally bonkers, still keep up with all the blogs, mine included and get all of the news filtered through them. So my resolution is to breathe a little deeper and stand one step back from the proverbial fan.
Ha ha ha how long will this one last......I give it until mid-week but I am trying really really hard to make it stick!

You are too funny! But I do wish you lots of luck staying relaxed while you wait. (it is easier said than done)
And I just read your latest comment on my blog and just about flipped!! Tell your hubby happy birthday.
Also, my birthday is June 15, but Lily's is the 12th. How is that for a sweet connection!!???
Good luck on staying calm! We are in the process of our 2nd adoption, and I keep telling myself the same thing! Deep down....I know I will be glued to my yahoo group and RQ as well. Nikki, (above post) was a travel mate with us. I've read your blog several times, but this is the firswt time I've posted. please feel free to stop by ours as well! Happy New Year!
Do what works for you and keep yourself and thus your family happy and sane.
Keep smilin!
How funny - I just told my husband I was going to try the same thing this year - but I too wonder how long it will take before I'm back on those sites scrounging for any bit of info!!! It is a tough wait, isn't it?!?!
Good luck with that! You're a braver woman than I am. ;-)
It's Tuesday evening....have you given in yet? ;0)
Connie beat me to the comment I was just about to make..LOL. You are a better woman that I though as I could never stay away.
He he he. As luck would have it I was checking blogs earlier this evening and found all the news I needed on Just For Jillian. So far so good I havent needed to hit the RQ yet! It's Tuesday and I am still on track.....how lame how very lame.
Good for you!!! Keep up the good work. I have been on RQ 5 times today. CRAZY. Maybe I should follow your example and swear off the rumour bandwagon!!
