Headache

What a busy day today was and it went by quick.  Had a hair appointment, errands, 4-H Pampered Chef Fundraiser meeting, large animal veterinarian out for physicals, Spencer staying the night at the house, and then work.  Where did Friday go?  While the hustle and bustle of the day was around I couldn't help but think I have had a headache for a week now, my face is broke out, and I swear I could sleep all day everyday.  I am stressed out, I am weak.  I think to myself hey this is nothing girl wait until you have kids on top of everything else!  Kids, what a concept.  Why is it that here we are excited about exploring a new option of adopt from foster care and first thing people say is "well just remember they have problems that's why their in foster care".  First of all their parents had problems, tell me how to help with these problems, and all children can have problems both physical and emotional.  Look at the whole picture and if you do not have anything nice to say (since we have enough disappointment) then do not say anything.  I know these kids will probably need more "attention" then maybe a newborn but starting to realize maybe that is not an option.  Instead of saying they come with "problems" or "junk" maybe say they will need more love and affection or attention but when these are my kids do not tell me they have problems, their obstacles and let me know how you are going to help or support and not judge.  Now I have a bigger headache!
