Blows my mind

Please tell me why?!
How?
No one knew? The MOM didn't know and she lived in the home!!?? I find that hard to fathom.Apparently a social worker had even been to the home on several occasions but found nothing??!! Did they look?
The real kicker of this would be that the guy could face up to just 15 years in prison for holding these helpless souls in a basement for 24 years.
It's just such a shame,what will happen to the kids and to that poor woman?
Unbelievable.

Miracles do happen

This is a first.
Today all 4 of my oldest kids got up for school,ate breakfast,got dressed,and made it on the BUS on time! There was no drama,arguing,fighting,screaming,complaining that they wanted toast rather than waffles,frantic searches for book bags or socks,not even the usual lolly-gagging around till the front of the big yellow bus is in sight coming down the street. I am amamzed and thankful but certainly not holding my breath that this will be the new "norm" around here. I couldn't possibly get that lucky.

Sick in the Spring

Well,I'm sick. I hate being sick,especially when it's been such nice weather the last several days.
I haven't been too inspired to blog lately but I'm trying to get more motivated.
I did this last night,pretty funny.I guess I do agree with parts of it.;op

Comfort

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Homesick~

Well,it's a beautiful day here and I'm missing my old house....alot.
I miss the smells and seeing the trees start to bloom.I miss the dafodils poking their little yellow heads up from my front yard.I miss seeing the kids running all over the big yard. his time of year I would always plant outside,re-mulch and the kids would all help.
I'm sad today and I know I should be getting over it but I'm not.
I never wrote about it but 6 weeks ago we had to move from our house that we built 11years ago and that was the only place in this world that truly felt like "home" to me.I drove away that last Saturday morning and have not been able to bring myself to even drive down the street since.

We are now living in a nice but much smaller home with no yard at all to speak of.
I am thankful to have a place my children can be safe and comfortable but I ache for my "home".

I loved it and so many memories were created there over the years.I feel like a part of me has been taken away. I knew it would be hard but I never imagined this. I guess maybe I have to go through a "grieving" phase if you will? I know that I have not lost a child or family member but I do feel such a sense of loss.
I'm sure my family and friends are bored to tears hearing me talk about it but I wish I were still there.I really,really do.
