Not-So-Normal Mom

The damn rabbit ate through the bottom string of lights. (Don't worry, the lights weren't plugged in, and she's fine.) I haven't gone out to buy another string of lights yet so only the top third of my tree is lit up. It looks really stupid.

After all the work I've done finding my Christmas spirit...

Peace Out,
Mom

Tomorrow is a big day. We will be one step closer to one big, happy family. Well, we've been a big, happy family for a long time now. However, tomorrow, we are going to see the social worker for our final interview in the adoption process. My husband is adopting the big boys and we will soon all have the same last name!! :-)

I know, it's not all about the name. Really, I know. It's about the boys and my husband belonging to each other and getting what they've wanted for so long. It's about that final letting go of bad memories and hurt. Their name is attached to someone who hurt them so deeply, someone who neglected their feelings and their need for love.

I can't wait until the meeting with the judge. While I had hoped that it would be before the new year, I'm thinking that the judicial wheels turn a bit slower than I had hoped. :-) Oh well, it's going to happen.

I couldn't ask for a better Christmas present.

Peace Out,
Mom

I asked my youngest son this morning what he was planning on doing in school today. He said that he was planning on getting a happy face.

I think that should be everyone's goal for the day-to get a happy face.



Peace Out,
Mom
