Having a great day~~~

good morning girls
I have a very busy day ahead of me.Today is my great nieces 5thbday!!I have been babysitting her and her 3 yr old sister for about a month now.Their mom and dad have been seperated for about 2 -3 months now.In this time the mom has tried to kill herself 4 times night before last being the fourth!!There is another girl as well she is 8 yrs old.This is such a sad situation!! Please keep my G nieces in your prayers~~Me and my family went to the dollar store last nite and got some decorations and such~~I know i cant replace her mom and would never even try to but i am gonna make today as special as i can for her~~She was really lookin frwd to seeing her momma today and doesnt really understand.I dont mention her mom and only say i am sorry when she mentions her~~I got both the girls a lil purse for a buck each with lil necklaces and matching braclets and gave them to them thismorning..I also got those loud blowhorns..So far they are having a good morning.We are off to get some eggs to bake a cake and ice cream.I am gonna be brave and let them help me bake the cake..heehee..lol
My youngest is 13 so i am having fun as well with all this~~
If i were using or drinking today this would not be happening!!!!
If i wouldnt have had an injury and had surgery this would not be happening!!
I would be working somewhere and someone else would be babysitting so i am grateful today for all that has happened so that i am able to be right where i am doing what i am doing today~~ Bringing joy to some little girls ~~I hope everyone has a great day~~

Hi Wasted,

What a sad, but beautiful story. I am so glad that you are there for your geat neice and are giving her such a special day. No child should have to go through so much tragedy and I know that you will make today a day she will remember.

Have fun!

Love, Anna

WT4M,

That is so awesome that you did that for them. At least you brought some joy and happiness into their lives today. It's great that they have someone who loves them like you do.

Wow what a nice day you had. Your a great aunt and mom wt4m and those girls have been blessed with such a great sitter and great aunt. I know they had a great time and will remember it for years to come. I get upset when her dad dont cal her(my daughter) however she is not as hurt it happens so often. They are very resiliant although they miss her and want to see her you helped them keep there minds off the sad stuff for a while and that's the good thing...
