Don't tell Sheila, but I'm copying her great idea to start a book club by reading, Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wished their Adoptive Parents Knew, by Sherrie Eldridge. (Pretend that the title is underlined in honor of my sixth grade teacher, but I can't figure out how to do it on this blog program.) I think it would be good if we follow Sheila's group in reading two chapters at a time. (Surprise! There are twenty chapters!) I know it's short notice to keep up with them, but let's try. I'll post something about the book over the weekend of the 26th of September and y'all HAVE to comment. I might have to resort to posting some outrageously crazy opinions to make you mad enough to argue with me. Remember that every comment on the blog will enter you to win the ipod in November...and... count them, you still have a pretty good chance to win. I'm looking forward to reading the book...in fact I checked out a copy from the Fiesta library just before Sheila posted that her group is reading it together. I've seen it around here and there and to be honest the title didn't yell out, "READ ME!" in my little brain. But, I've heard from other parents that it's great, so I'm looking forward to settling down in my secret hiding spot to enjoy it. Between you and me, I've had a crazy couple of weeks and as I write this, I have one kid in the hospital and two others slated for surgery soon.....this is not a normal or welcome family custom to commemorate the beginning of the flu season. Anyway, let's read the book together and compare notes.

Hi Carol,
I guess I could call you a copy cat, but I won't. I'm just glad that you liked my idea. We are looking forward to starting our discussion on Saturday in Gallup.
