Once upon a time there was this world in which Dora was out to save her best friend's friends....OK back to reality...I've been playing too much super nientendo (Mario's world)...but it does have some truth...don't we all think we can save others...from addictions, bad behaviors, and bad chioces. It helps to focus on someone else then dealing with things in our own lives. Saturdays, I go to a support/recovery group...this week was hard. Most of everyone's problems, habits, hang ups dealt with their childeren. Children...how alone in this room did I feel! Most of these women beat themselves up with shame from their past or how they yell at their kids or how bad of a mother they are when in fact they are a very caring parent who realizes that they are not perfect. Yesterday, the Cooper family got together to shoot fireworks...along came the newest addition, 3-week old Jagger (don't ask about his name...wouldn't have been my first choice either!) It was still pretty raw to see this helpless baby. Tiny hands and tiny feet & toes...how precious he was even though I'm not very fond of his father (Brent's cousin)... I couldn't hold him but I viewed from afar with urnings to hold. What does it feel like to be a mother? The tears of saddeness...oh how I want to go back to my own little world...
Post Note (7/4 @ 11:30pm) - Well, today was round two of the little muchin in which I couldn't resist to hold...oh what tiny fingers he had!
