As of now, you don't want to adopt them. I can't imagine you're so altruistic that you want to wreak havoc at your job and your emotional & physical health.Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335137784267157167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-21666703380902016832007-12-29T03:10:00.000-06:002007-12-29T03:10:00.000-06:00I've had to catch up with your blog, Trace's blog ...I've had to catch up with your blog, Trace's blog and Angie's blog! I'll have to try to catch up with everyone else's soon too. I'm very glad that you sent me an invite, since you went private. I totally understand not wanting people IRL reading much of what's in a blog.<BR/><BR/>I'm SO sorry that things are so stressful and hard, but I'm glad that you're on your way to getting some help with all of it. I honestly don't know how you do it all. I have a tough enough time with Destiny. I know it's got to be very hard and very depressing for you, and I hope that going to therapy will be a big help and relief for you. <BR/><BR/>You are awesome! Remember that! Also remember that you've got people thinking of you and praying for you.<BR/><BR/>(((HUGS)))Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086160948077833229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-4998531320838557742007-12-28T12:07:00.000-06:002007-12-28T12:07:00.000-06:00I don't think anyone you invited here will critici...I don't think anyone you invited here will criticize you for getting more money for these kids- they are definately not "basic" needs kids and would probably do better if you could stay at home with them but that is a big decision and task- make sure that is what you want before you quit your job over it- but I guess you don't love your job either so that maybe the answer. I would make that priority number one- get that stipend raised- get respite set up and the set up what ever counseling/ classes you think will really help you all- that is just my 2 cents- You need to take care of yourselves or you will be worth nothing to them anyway. I think you are doing a great job with them to date- they are tough kids and you are still in the game with them- you are great!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367614478917963052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-31775504107815381672007-12-28T10:09:00.000-06:002007-12-28T10:09:00.000-06:00Take it little by little. Prioritize those things ...Take it little by little. Prioritize those things that are important to you and try to do those first. Gradually work your way through the list, even if it takes several weeks. At least you're getting things done but not killing yourself in the process. And again, can hubby help with some of it?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497284693223622245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-61386351604781582642007-12-28T00:12:00.000-06:002007-12-28T00:12:00.000-06:00Ain't that the way it goes...Ain't that the way it goes...Yondallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375966725096729570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-62882020606363533792007-12-27T20:34:00.000-06:002007-12-27T20:34:00.000-06:00Oh wow...so much to deal with.
