Their bio-mom isn't a big part of their lives because of her own choices and it is hard to watch them grow up realizing a little more each day what the real situation is. It breaks my heart what they have been through and I try my best to over-compensate for that.
I can get pretty stressed out trying to make sure everything is perfect that I forget to take a deep breath, relax and just plain enjoy our time together. Something to think about and to make sure I do more often. I tend to focus on the bigger picture instead of small moments - something that my wonderful husband is better at than I am. We balance each other out as parents I think and that Is a good thing.
Anyway, just been thinking a lot about everything I guess. Hoping the kids have a great Christmas this year and can find happiness in their lives.
