Spring Break

Lots of things going on at our house lately. First we got past that very long drawn out court thing we had to sit in. It was bittersweet but left a print on my soul in ways I find hard to put into words. So much has been said about this mother and I know and I think in her heart of hearts she knows she isnt ready to care for these children. She will be in my prayers.
Then we had Easter. I was really looking forward to Easter this year. All my boys got suits for Easter and my little girl looked like a fairy princess and I could tell she felt like one as well. It was fun planning for it. We had a nice dinner and an Easter egg hunt after. Even my mom went to church.....faint. My friend came over and spent some time with us and went to church and it was nice having company for the holiday because it took some of the sting away of being ignored by the rest of my relatives.
The children had a blast and that made it a wonderful day for me. Now that that is all out of the way its time to get back into the mode of soccer and practice and games and all that fun stuff. My oldest will be leaving this weekend for a few days at Spring break camp and I am not sure how I feel about it but I know I will cry when he gets on that bus to make that ride 10 miles down the road. Its a mom thing....I love them and like keeping them around me so I know they are safe. I am not one of those over protective moms but I just enjoy my kids.
This coming weekend also one of my other children will be getting picked up to attend an adoption party. He isnt real thrilled about it but I am trying to make it as easy as possible for him. Social services seems to think that he would do best in a home where he is the only child....I disagree. He has done well where he is and the therapist seems to think so as well. But I have given my word to the department that I would work with them on any decision they make and I will do so....even if I think its a dumb one.
So now we are in Spring break full mode....and I can see the kids are getting a little bored with it already.
Thats ok .....I have a surprise for them tomorrow!
