Did you look for me yesterday? I was at an "everything you wanted to know about foster parenting but were afraid to ask" meeting, then out to dinner with some friends. There are still things I want to know about foster parenting, so the journey will continue...through introspection, talks with handsome hubby and prayer.
I am still introspecting about my own reality...and now I bring you the things that I AM:
1. I am over-the-top loyal to my family. God blessed me with a husband who loves me to the moon and back and a stepson has always been easy to parent. Mess with them, and you mess with me. And I am pretty formidable when I need to be.
2. I am an animal lover to the nth degree. For several years I fostered puppies for our local humane society and helped them find forever homes. My own prancing chicken-legged snout hound is the light of my life, and we have a lot of fun during the day playing with baby sheep or napping. My dream job (if I was indepenently wealthy) would be at the doggie day care place patting and playing with the puppies.
3. I am selfish and self centered. I told a girlfriend that tonight and she told me I was the least selfish person she knows. Maybe our definitions are different. I am tired of my life being all about me. I would really love to be so busy doing things for other people that I don't have time to worry about myself.
4. I am a good cook. I come from a family of good cooks, and I am continuing that tradition. In the winter I love to make soups and stews; in the summer I love to cook on the grill. If cooking were a love language, that would definitely be mine. ALL my love goes into my cooking.
5. I am happy. At this very moment, I am happy. My blood is pumping, I am listening to the familiar sounds of my home, I have a song in my heart and I have a smile on my face. I love this place, and there is no where else I want to be.
Tomorrow my plan is to post a message without using the word "I". We'll see how it goes...
