I can't believe there are only 40 more days of school this year.

This purging of stuff is kind of refreshing. I just got rid of half of Carson's clothes as well. Now onto the girls clothes

Oh boy I have this feeling my kids are going to be really mad at me or at least the of them will be when they get home tonight. It wasn't that long ago I went through their clothes but they were home and wouldn't let me get rid of much so I took this time of them being in school to do it. They will have no clue what I got rid of our boxed until we get to the new house. Sometimes it's fun being a mom. .... haha. ..lol

People think we allow Carson to disrespect us but what they don't know or understand is that he is a special needs child and cannot control himself. It is going to take years of Joe and I reassuring him that we love him and no matter what he does we will still be here for him. He is purposely pushing our buttons testing us to see if we are going to leave him. After all these kids have been through it is a wonder how they survived in the first place. Our kids blame themselv...es for not being with their birth parents. They think their behavior is the reason for not being with their birth family. Yes as adults we think logically and know better but as children they just blame themselves. So the next time you see a child disrespecting their parents don't be so quick to judge. Take a moment and think maybe this child is special needs and nothing is going to fix the behavior except years and years of reassuring that child that they are loved and wanted more than anything in this world.
