Don't Keep Your Hopes Up

Since being a foster family, my mom and I haven't had much time together, alone. So when I learned that the boys (and all of them) were going to be Cod Fishing this weekend, mom and I got some DVDs, books, and planned a whole girls weekend for the two of us. But when the weather and the "swells" got too bad in Road Island on Thursday, it caused in a cancellation of the trip (bummer I know).

But today, the boys went and cleaned trash for 4 hours, leaving enough time for mom and I to watch Love Happens, and give each other a pedicure, but then after the guys came home at noon, we went to Yankee Candle over in South Deerfield. While there Z's behavior got a little out of control, which resulted in us leaving early.

Now it's hard to get to places/see things that we want to see, because when Z decides he's "done" with the thing we're doing, it also means we're all done. Which is hard because I like to learn and everything, so we need to drop everything we're doing and have to leave. Which seems unfair on my part, but then there's that nagging voice in my head telling me that we're doing the right thing, by leaving and everything. Hopefully it'll get easier and Z will learn patients and will understand that there are 4 other people in the family!

Here are some items that help with a Girl's Weekend ♥
