Okay, first of all, some of this might be TMI. Just to warn you in case you have your child sitting next to you while blogging. Second of all, I’ll break this into a couple posts so it doesn’t get tooooo long and all that.
And thank you to everyone who asked, these are some excellent questions and there are some folks that I didn’t know even read my blog. I’m not gonna link to your blog in the answers but the questions are in the comments a couple entries down… and if anybody else wants to ask three questions, feel free!
From the top:
Cheryl asks:
1. Do you ever hold lengthy conversations with your kids’ toys without even thinking about the fact that you are talking to a toy?
No, I don’t talk with the toys. The dog? Definitely. And she understands me, really she does.
2. What are your feelings on Spumoni?
I like spumoni but it has been forever (decades) since I’ve had any. So I guess that means I don’t like it enough to get some 🙂
3. And now for the obligatory sex question:Did you end up finding a good vibrator for the Mrs.?
I found what I thought was a great vibrator. Well, that’ll teach me to think. She didn’t like it, and it’s been stuck in our toybox since the first week. Oh well, different strokes and all that. (I’m still having fun finding new toys, though…)
Shari inquires:
1. What was the thought process leading up to your decision to foster/adopt two of your children? (This is not just bald curiosity – my husband are beginning the adoption process soon)
This is probably too complex to answer well here, but what happened was we signed up to be foster parents, wanting to help kids that needed it. Then, we kinda fell in love with a couple of the kids, and it worked out. (In many other cases we fell in love but it didn’t work out). Our third, the baby, was an adoptive placement from the beginning, although she was also a foster child at the time she came to live with us.
2. What has given you the deepest joy in your life?
my family! Um, that would be my wife and kids…
3. Finish this sentence: “The only thing worth anything in this world is…”
“not able to be bought or sold.”
