Good News!

We were wondering what crazy person wanted to watch the kids for a week. Dedrick and I are flying to Oklahoma in May for five days to find a house. So after a month of debating and planning what we were going to do, keep the kids together, send them to different people, etc., we decided that we would ask my mom. Most people would have wondered why we didn't ask her first. Well she just bought her first house, and she lives in Alaska. The good news is...my mom is flying down to help watch the kids. She will be here for 10 days, which is nice so she can hang out before we leave. This will give her some great bonding time with the gremlins!

Bad Mom!

Today I feel like a bad mom for the things I have been thinking about. I wondered what my life would have been like if I had given Becca up for an adoption. Would I have married Dedrick or moved back to Alaska. Would I have ever gotten married or married for the wrong reasons. I think Becca would have been better off with different parents. People who would have the support to take care of her and her special needs. Right now, I feel like a bad person for thinking such things.

Then I take one look at her and smile, she is just the most beautiful, amazing girl in the world. She my have her hard times and her parents. She is going to show the world that she may be different, but will never give up.
