i know, my neice, she's my little saving grace around here (NJ) and then in fl - my neice & her little kids. remind me how fun life can be and how much pleasure you can share with a kid- without hardly trying . i love that any little thing at all - if you share with them and spend the time- is a ton of fun.
isn't it great to be small and everything is NEW???
I'M WOrkin on makin the most of what i've got. grabbed my neice yesterday (16 yrs)and we went shopping. i'm usually a bit lazy about shopping- but lost my bathing suit and ya gotta have one in summer- rite. bought us each some goodies- she's a good companion. kind of quiet, but has her own opinions, tastes, etc. she's a bit of a night owl- and is getting rolling just when i'm fizzling- but we have fun and i'm glad for the company.
she's compassionate and sensitive - has alot of common sense as well. . yesterday she was telling me she was glad for the times she visited my mom with me. she & h were the only ones that ever offered to go with me. i was glad, i'm happy she can appreciate that her taking the time mattered alot to mom & me too. it's important to feel good about her own "contribution" i think. she's got some troubles in her life with her dad's drinking- so she worries about stuff a young kid shouldn't have to deal with . yet lots do today huh?
anyway- i do have her mother in town - and she can be a real character- but is a good egg essentially and i'm glad we're friends. i wouldn't have made it thru last few years without her and a couple girlfriends. you're sure rite about some support around in life.
I sure had a different notion of what my family was - than what it is in reality - my other sisters. we all sure are different. oh well huh? what a giant mess.
tryin not to think about it - i'm tryin not to think about everything it seems -
