I forgot to go eat lunch with Ava at school yesterday. It completely slipped my mind. I could use the excuse that I have been a little preoccupied with the baby's issues but it doesn't help Ava feel less left out. Needless to say, I am having lunch with her today. I will be dragging the 2 little ones with me since Rosa is having Eddie's psychological evaluation redone this morning. Gia promised me she wouldn't scream at the top of her lungs when we get to the lunch room. My fingers are crossed she holds up her end of the deal.
Cyr crossed some lines with Rosa while I was at the hospital. Surprised? Yeah, we weren't either. She asked Rosa to go into the bathroom with her and wash her hair when she took a bath. I will remind you Cyr is almost 13 and is as mature as Rosa. There is no way she thought for a second that this was appropriate or needed the assistance. She is able to wash her hair every other day when I am home.

- I am the mother of 10 children, 6 are part of a large sibling group we adopted through foster care in 2006, 2 are our grown foster daughters, 2 are from independent infant adoptions in 2001 and 2008. Every one of them have their own issues to work through from Schizo-Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy. Most of our children have been victims of sexual abuse by a close family member, most acted out sexually or exhibited predatory behaviors. We are currently trying to figure out where the trauma ends and mental illness begins in each of their lives.

Everyone makes mistakes, but I hope Ava feels better about it soon.
I'm glad Keira seems to be better too, I hope everything works out ok for you and her!
You're not scum, very far from it! You are just human.
You can't beat yourself up about things like this. It is hard enough to meet everyone's needs at once. Hang in there.
