That's me everyday. I keep thinking, they might as well let me go for all the work I've been getting done, then I feel guilty, but I'm so hooked on the forums!

Not me, I'm hard at work getting a ton of things done, I am Ms. Efficient today, you betcha! (Hoping none of you have noticed that I've posted like 5 messages today.) And we're about to start the process for #2 so my focus at work is only gonna get worse again.

Well, we have completed two Guat adoptions and are not planning on a 3rd right now AND I can't stay away from the boards. I am getting my work done but in between patients I pop back on to see what's going on. This board was a great help to us while we were going through both our adoptions and I've become quite attached to it. I love following everyone's journey and seeing all the precious children.

I believe that there is no such thing as an unwanted child, just unfound families.

"They came to realize family need not be defined merely as those with whom they share blood, but as those for whom they would give their blood." - D!ckens

Birth is an act of nature. Adoption is an act of God.

Ever since we decided to adopt, it's like I have ADHD! I can't sit still, I can't get any work done and I can't stop checking my email every few minutes to see if there is any news!!!! I think I need to ask them to cut my internet connection at work!

If I had something to concentrate on it wouldn't be so bad but I have NOTHING to do. I am the executive assistant for a non profit in a small town and I have nothing to do.


So this make this PGN wait really hard.

And at work, I have broadband! So it's way more efficient to waste time here than waiting for my dial-up @ home We have our mtg. with the banker @ 3:30 today (30 minutes OMG!) to see about funding. Not that I think they won't give it to us, I just want to know for sure that we can afford it and can take the next step. . . Hopefully, it'll go well- and I won't be making Off Topic posts about "101 Ramen recipes" or how to maximize your plasma donation income

I think the employer's should have a new buzz phrase. It would be called sporadic producers. That would be us!

Yep...That's me too. I'll start to work, then I stop and check the forums and I end up staying for a long time...then it hits me that I should be working. I work at home, so it's REALLY easy to do...
