Granny's gone and done it again

It will last a long time in the freezer.


Well both did kinda get cheated on their BDay presents this year. DD1 wants a Sleep Number mattress but I have no way to do that in Canada. And I bought concert tickets for DD2 - Lady Antebellum (opening act Maddie and Tae - check out their "Girl in a Country Song" and "Shut up and Fish" videos :lol:). A month ago it got moved out to Sept, then cancelled.
Its the thought and you thought plenty. Wanna be my daddy? LOL
 
@bruceha2000 yes, the ramen my kidlets ate did still have a high sodium content, even with the addition of veggies and an egg. This was 8 years ago. When I got these kids they had been in state custody almost since birth and had been in more foster homes than they'd had birthdays. Food, to them, was: hot dogs, pizza, chicken nuggets, Burger King and McD's burgers, ice cream, candy, soda, candy, chips, etc. It was a victory for good health to get them to put veggies in the ramen and actually eat it. They came to me with gigantic bottles of powdered fiber to add to their fruit juice daily, stuff I thought only old people needed! I had to start somewhere! Now they both eat fruit, veggies, and whole grains. The Kid's favorite snack is frozen bananas and strawberries. The Girl makes smoothies daily with yogurt, frozen fruit and almond milk. We don't have junk food in the house. The only thing we use sugar for is the humm'bird feeder. They are fit and healthy. And they haven't eaten ramen in years. Are you feeling okay?
Thats awesome. I have to ask, why did it take so long for you to get them? And the other 2 still in the system?

Hm. Tough question. Basically, because as a single person I had no place for them. I was supporting myself as a live-in caregiver. But then I married DH, and suddenly I was living out in the country in a 4-BR house on 10 acres. This other part is really hard for me to answer: one of the boys is special needs, and there is no support in our area for him. And the other child was doing really well where he was and it was felt he should stay where he was. Given their needs, the best decisions have probably been made for these kids. I believe all are doing as well as they possibly could under the circumstances.
 
I understand Blue, I went through the same thoughts. You are doing what is best for all involved. I told mine that if they are taken away again they will be split up because I just couldnt do it again Thankfully I didnt have to. It was a trumped up charge anyway.
