April 28 ~ 2011

We met this strange young woman at the park tonight that at first thought Espen was my grandson... do I look that old? She was swinging alone at the park. She looked sad & deep in thought when we arrived (my initial impression). I'd say she was high school aged. After I laughed at the notion of being grandma (and wondered if I looked that old today); she looked over at Doug and I said "He is my son & we adopted him". I am happy to tell anyone he is adopted. Then she had some interesting questions for a young person. She wanted to know if it was an open adoption, if I waited a long time, what Espen's birth mom is like.... then as I was chatting with her, Espen ran off so I had to go after him, she walked over, petted the dogs and talked to Doug for a minute and left. I felt like there was more to say to her.... Doug thought it was weird. I thought she was pregnant & looking for assurance. Neither of us will know. We've never seen her at the park before & we go alot. But hopefully what ever was on her mind gets resolved.... I will probably dream about her tonight & look for her when ever we go to the park...

It was a "sick" day for us... we stayed home. Espen slept. 2 long naps. I rested & did quiet activites. And it is 8:44pm and I am tired. And feel like I should go to bed. I'm reading this really great book.... so if I go to bed, I'll probably read for a little bit. I'd share the title but I have no idea what it is called! But it is very interesting!
