Well, this is it. Today is the last day with my foster son J. It is actually bittersweet for me. After all that has happened, the relief that it is over, I still feel bad he is leaving. I feel guilty for the times I was impatient or in a bad mood. I truly hope things go well for his family. The one thing I do have to say is that they really love him.

My daughter who is almost four is going to be in a big ballet production of cinderella next week. Tomarrow is the dress rehearsal. She is a pumpkin with all the other 3 year olds in her class. I pictured "Halloween" costumes and boy, was I surprised!. She is wearing an exquisit ballet costume. It is so beautiful!. All the costumes are incredible! But what did I expect? This is ballet. Not t-ball. I actaully cried during one of the rehearsals because it was so beautiful and my little princess is in it!

We own a little house about an hour from here that we rent out. We decided to sell it. A big decision but it sold in 2 days. We did get what it was worth. In fact, a little more probably but the people who baught it had ben bought out from 2 times before so were willing to pay more. It's a relief. Now we will buy property near us and build a duplex on it. The money has to stay in rental property, we found out for tax reasons. I guess it doesn't HAVE to but we don't want to pay thousands of dollars in taxes! Anyway, it is good income to have a rental.

As you have probably noticed, today's entry is a little of this and a little of that. There isn't a whole lot to tell except that today, I am very happy and content with life. I love my Birkenstocks, although my feet are sore from wearing them all day yesterday. I love my house, my kids, and the beautiful place we live. Who could ask for more?
