It might be chaos, but it's my chaos!: July 2010
http://itmightbechaosbutitsmychaos.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 13, 2010. The way of the world. Today in the world of foster care, I have been frustrated. I am sure that shocks everyone. The system leaving a person feeling unvalidated, lost, manipulated, surely not! I must be the one who misplaces things, lies in reports, and gets my children's names mixed up! Oh, the love. Sunday, July 11, 2010. Oh man, I needed to update that my eldest had a large breakdown today. It has been three years since move in day and over a year since TPR and K seemed to ...

It might be chaos, but it's my chaos!: Learning to Juggle
http://itmightbechaosbutitsmychaos.blogspot.com/2011/03/learning-to-juggle.html
Saturday, March 5, 2011. I always wanted to learn how to juggle. This whole thought came to me because while I might parent differently and understand my children's strengths and weaknesses, I will never define them for them. I will never tell them they cannot do things. I do not hold the answer to that. Instead I will give them baby steps and directions to succeed. I will always believe with them even if it is hard to. In other words, I finally learned how to juggle! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

It might be chaos, but it's my chaos!: July 2012
http://itmightbechaosbutitsmychaos.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 19, 2012. For our “lesson” today I decided to teach my kiddos poker! They are 9,6,and 5 and all have varying issues that make comprehension and retaining information more difficult. However it was fun and my little one got a little ruthless! 5 years. In 5 years one would assume that a person would be accustomed to the world around them. In five years a person should know the expectations and routines. In five years a person should be comfortable. 5 years is nothing! Wednesday, July 18, 2012.

Thursday, March 24, 2011. It can be hard to love her. My oldest child is eight. She came to me at four after living through hell. She had been neglected and abused most of her small life her mom had many men in and out of her life some of whom she let do whatever they wanted to her kids as long as they still supported her. Then my daughters older sibling decided to go to the police because she couldn't stand being raped one more time. When it starts to feel hard to love her, I can remember why she needs ...

From the edge of insanity: May 2011
http://fromtheedgeofinsanityjc.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
From the edge of insanity. A journey through transracial adoption, motherhood, alcoholism, and the rest of it. Sunday, May 29, 2011. Today I celebrate four years of continuous sobriety. I've had a few bad things happen. I got a DUI. Drinking exacerbated my depression, and had an impact on my ADHD. When you have impulsivity issues and you mix them with alcohol? It's so petty and stupid. THAT. Was the first thing I thought of? But those stupid questions didn't stop there. No, my mind wandered to all th...

From the edge of insanity. A journey through transracial adoption, motherhood, alcoholism, and the rest of it. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Who's to say whose crazier? Suggesting I needed AA. I remember, clear as a bell, telling a friend "doesn't she realize I have REAL problems going on? I laugh at my brazen, stupid self of yesteryear. I have been really anxious and irritable the last three weeks since my last appointment. I chalked part of it up to my menstrual cycle. Then I tried to mentally sc...Well,...

http://itmightbechaosbutitsmychaos.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 26, 2011. On a negative note, my mom was there and decided to criticize my parenting in front of my 8yo daughter who was having an "evil" moment! She is having a hard time understanding that getting mad at somebody doesn't mean that you hate them. She also needs to learn to stop blaming me for everything and feeling so bad for herself, but she'll get there. She did end up turning herself around though and had a good time though she tried to milk my mom to get out of the situation. And she...
