Lazy Summer

We are very lazy this summer. We have to be very careful with Lovebug in the sun, she is still too young to hang outside all day long. Man I wish we had our own pool!!! We have many pool 'options' but we need our own. It's all about not sharing. I don't like sharing pools. I grew up in Florida, and we always had our own pool. It may sound spoiled but I look at it as a safety thing. My kids have contracted some nasty bugs from public/neighborhood pools, so I'd rather have my own pool. Too bad we picked a house with crazy homeowner rules and no pool...oh well--thank goodness for the waterpark (for the big boys). We are still enjoying our summer. I let the kids sleep late, eat outside, and grill out almost everyday. However, I am much busier than last summer! LOL!

I am a little anxious about court next week, it breaks my heart thinking we may only have one more week with her. No one tells you anything. I can't let myself dwell on these feelings, it's a waste of time. What baby mama's requirements are: 1. job (done) 2. housing (will check fri, but I thought this was done) 3. parenting classes (currently taking) 4. therapy (have no idea) 5. cannot be living or having a relationship with baby daddy (this one is unknown--I suspect they are together). To me, it looks like she is on track to get her baby and other child back. The judge may just give her a little more time, or she may send Lovebug home. When you look at the importance of attachment, Lovebug needs to go home to her mom asap. I say that because if that is where she is going anyway, then the sooner the better for Lovebug's attachment. If this case is going to be a revolving door of placement and reunification--then she needs to stay with us. I love this baby so much.
