No way!

I kid you not with what I am about to spill. I am not one who is much into the whole ladybug gig. Yeah, they're cute enough but not any obsession of mine. But, one cannot be involved in China adoption without hearing that referrals will soon be arriving when ladybug sightings occur.

Tell me, what does qualify as a ladybug sighting? Most of the ladybugs I see in my house are dead as doornails (great karma). Today I saw a live one...of sorts. You all know what my job is by now. Imagine my surprise when I moved back that drape and saw a ladybug in a most unusual locale on my patient. It was a ladybug tattoo but I still think that ladybug sighting has to count for something ;0) I have decided that it was a bug sighting customized just for me. The bearer of the bug has no connection to any of the China lore. She just likes them thar bugs....a lot. Too funny.

Now, off to sleep after an all-night/dayer. I'm babbling at this point but I just had to share the bug.

Sounds like quite a sight... and definitely a sighting!!

jeanette said...

it definitely qualifies as a sighting..and a most unique one at that!!!

I'm not a big believer in the whole ladybug thing..but around significant times in our adoption, ladybugs appeared..you can't help but think they're some sort of sign sent from above. :)

I nearly spewed my tea on the keyboard. That is hilarious, and yes, very apropos for you! :-)

Tammie said...

What a sighting!! Gotta love it!! It's an official sighting in my book, no one said they had to be live!!

Kristin said...

Oh man, it has GOT to hurt to get a tattoo down there... makes me squirm just thinking about it.

But yes, that is one hell of a ladybug sighting!

Paulette said...

you will have another ladybug sighting very soon. That is what Ani will be for Halloween. Even though she will be NPO.

Kim said...

I believe that God sends special lady bugs just for us when the time is right...That is a "sign" that no one but you would understand right? Girl you must be close! I am sooo happy for you!!!
