Wednesday Wishes

This is Wednesday leaning out of her cat tree. She may look like just your average gray tabby cat, but she has many skills. Most of these skills, she uses for The Good. Okay, 'most' might be a slight exaggeration. Wednesday is a good little kitty, though, at heart. She loves her family, loves her sisters, loves annoying those sisters and she also loves to grant wishes. Every Wednesday morning, I will rub the side of the cat house and summon our magic cat!


My Wednesday Wishes for the week:

1) An Instant Family - The Hubster and I just put an adoption inquiry in for siblings. 11, 7 and 3. Not being able to have kids of our by now, we've been seriously considering adopting. Why not? Our pets are all adopted. Why shouldn't our kids be as well? We won't love them any less. These three are in an emergency shelter because there isn't a foster home willing to take all three. They're active kids - perfect for an active couple. I'm already picturing Saturday soccer and football games. So, if it's meant to be Wednesday, make it BE!

2) A to Z Challenge Blog Posts done - I signed up for this, but now I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. With my rewrite, I just don't know that I'll have time to blog, rewrite, work a real job and visit numerous blogs per day. I'm not sure there is enough time in the day for this. With the possibility of parenthood looming on the horizon, I feel that my focus needs to be elsewhere. There are things to be done to get the house ready for children as well. We shall see what happens when April 1st rolls around. I don't fancy myself a quitter. But that part of me is warring with the part that wants to take the entire month of April off from blogging. I would visit my usual favorite blogs, but not feel the pressure to visit a bunch of blogs. What to do, what to do, what to do.

3) Radiation Keeper Box - I want a magical box that will store endless amounts of radiation. All I have to do is push a button and it will suck up all the radiation that has seeped out of nuclear plants in disasters. Although, I probably need numerous boxes to suck up the radiation at every plant. I don't doubt it seeps out on its own already. Not at super high levels, but I do think there is some escaping. Case in point - San Onofre. About a decade ago, a pregnant cat was dumped off the freeway by the plant. It gave birth next to one of the reactors. The cat and kittens were rescued but had to be held on the base for several months until they were done peeing out radiation. Several months. All they did was lay next to a reactor that we are being told is completely safe and not seeping. Anyway, this box would be great and I could gift it to the people of Japan at the moment with the idea that they would give it to the next country who needed it. Because you know there is just too much money in nuclear power and the companies are far too powerful for it to ever be eliminated or reduced. We'll continue to push forward with it regardless of how many people it affects in the long run. The box would even things out a bit. The greedy could be greedy and the innocent would continue to be safe!!

What about you - what are your wishes for our magical little cat?

  3. Wow!!!! Good luck on the adoption process :)

    As for the challenge, you have to do what's right for you and not worry about anything else.

    And I love your idea of the box. You're right. There's too much money in it to ever be eliminated :(

  8. OMG I am SO excited for you Jennie!!! Adoption is WONDERFUL! This is a huge decision and I know you'll make wonderful parents!! My mother was an adoption social worker, and my sister is also a social worker with plans to adopt in the future. When Jason and I get older, I'd like to adopt an older child. Those poor 17 year olds who never get adopted get released with no family when they turn 18. I'd like to give a child like that a family once my own kids are older and out of the house.

    Good luck!! I am a strong supporter of adoption. Cant' wait to hear how it goes. And if it doesn't work out, don't be discouraged. There are plenty of other children that need to be adopted as well.

    You are SO good with your animals, you are a natural mother. You'll be wonderful :)

  10. Your radiation device sounds very useful! Nice. And as far as the break vs the blogfest--if you need a break, take one. The blogosphere will still be here when you get back. However, it'll be crazy fun. (I'm not in it; I had enough busy-ness with the Crusade, tho the A-Z looks fun.) Good luck with the adoption application too!
