I made my husband bring us back to America. I just couldn't stand to live in a country that doesn't have eggnog. I guess I could have just made it myself, but then I'd have to find out the ingredients, and nobody should ever have to find out the ingredients to eggnog.
So we're back, for good. Just in time for boxing day Canada!
To make a long story short, we went to China to help out with my MIL's business; she ended up selling it and now we're back, starting over in a different country for the fourth time in our lives. There's so much I want to post in this blog about my time in China that I wasn't able to while I was there. Especially since this blog is the only record I keep of my life. This is like my scrapbook/journal and each year I'll print it out and stick it in a shoebox. But that means I'll have to buy some new shoes and new shoes are for rich people, which is why I've got like thousands of them, but then I wake up and look in my closet and all I see is a toilet because, oh yeah, I don't even have a closet.
I'm grateful for my time spent in China, I learned a lot. Like how to pretend like you're taking a picture of your kids, when really you're trying to capture an image of the eight-year-old, number twoing in the park, while her father stands proudly at her side.
More to come, later. We don't have our own internet power yet. Luckily we're living in an apartment complex surrounded by neighbors who don't put passwords on their wireless networks.
Thank you neighbors, and sorry I never make eye contact with you when I see you, or respond when you say hello, and run away when you try to introduce yourself... I'm just really shy.

WHAT!!!! I was just looking at your blog the other day wondering how you were! I knew better to remove it from my feed... I'm glad i didn't!!! YAY!!!
Merry Christmas, Happy Boxing Day!!! Happy New Year! Mary is back!!! (should be a new holiday!)
Welcome back! All I can say is what did that girl have for lunch? Yikes!
Why hello there. Hope to see you blogging regularly again.
And that picture was awesome and disgusting.
Hooray! My new year looks so much happier now (if I don't think too much about that picture). Welcome back to the land of milk and honey (and drive-thru windows).
you're baaaaaaack!!!
I've missed you.
I let my boys poop in the park all the time.
I've wondered about you and if we'd ever see you in the blogosphere again! Glad to see you back!
Ok, what is up with those pics? Is this typical? Is this accepted? Totally bizarre!
So fun to see you back! Hooray for coming to American where parents ignore their kids if they number two in public.
Hooray! You're back!!!
(I was trying to think of something more clever to say, but I am so filled with happiness at your rerun that I can't think straight)
I'm SO EXCITED you're BACK!
I was worried that the commies were brainwashing you. So glad to see you are back to the USA
Hallelujah!! Welcome back to the land of public toilets and graffiti! You've been missed.
Hi Mary dear! You have been missed. Thanks (I think) for the picture.
sooooooooooooooooooooo glad you're back, hahaha, oh how i missed your humor! keep it fresh girl, keep keepin' it fresh;-)
WELCOME BACK! You have been missed!
OH MY GOSH. That is one big pile o' poo.
I would be honored to offer you some shoe boxes in celebration of your return. I really love shoe boxes, so this will be a sacrifice, but it's worth it.
That's a pretty nasty picture. But glad to hear you're back in the land of #2ing in a toilet!
Mary! Oh Mary, I am so glad you are alive and well. And that your hair is growing! Welcome back to US!
Heck yes! I'm so glad you're back!!!!
Oh, welcome back! There is much happiness in blogland again!
YAY, you are back!! You know, whenever I'd check your blog from time to time, I always thought about the cut out holes for babies bottoms. Especially since my granddaughter is 6 months old on the 4th and I diaper her little bottom. With really good diapers. I only have her once a week so I make it easy on myself. Still shocking about that little child.
I'm so glad your back! I was starting to go through Mary withdrawals! Are you in Utah?
oh my gosh.... I haven't laughed so hard till I cried since "Up" (the movie - just thought I'd clarify that since you're an alien all over again) when the chubby boy smashed up against the blimp window and slid along it for so long that not only do you laugh but you cry too...
thank you. I'm so glad your back.
and, thank you also for zooming in. I cried some more.
Wow, I laughed so hard! The good ol' days in China where people were spewing their bodily fluids all over public places...wow!!!!!!! You KILL me!!!
So glad to see you back in blogland!!!
I can't look at that picture too closely it makes me gag. What do they do with the stuff when she's done??? Just leave it???
that picture was awesome and disgusting.
Work from home India
Just how much fiber are they feeding that poor child?
Every time I try to get my kids to poo in public places, they refuse. Clearly, I'm failing as a parent.
YES! You're back!
It's about damn time! For a second I was like Mary...Mary...who is Mary. LOL!
oh my heck. tears in my eyes. I can so see you getting that picture.
