love and stuff
I love the fact that kindness girl is here in the good old RVA. My two favorite bloggers live here. Of course, Noah Scalin is the other.
I am sitting here watching Super Why with Jack. I have the TV set for a reminder at 9 because the Fraggles are coming on. Yay! I am thinking about all of the kind things I have done lately. It feels like a short list, but when I think about it, it really isn't. I work with the disabled all day, and then I try to come home and try to be a good mother to kids that aren't even mine.
And here's the kicker: every time I say that M and J aren't mine, I am preparing for the day that they will be able to be back with their mother. It will be a relief, somewhat, but I do feel that these boys are mine; not by birth, but by love and caring. I am trying to do the best that I can with them--they are both damaged by neglect. This is the first real home that they have had; a room that they know isn't going anywhere, clothes that are always clean, food on the table, and plenty of kisses and hugs. Brien and I are trying the best that we can, but things don't always work out :0). Years of bad habits and lousy parenting have taken their toll on both. Hopefully, with some love and kindness, they will grow up to be loving and kind.
