The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly!

This has been one ONE incredibly eventful week. 

•  I held my first ever garage sale

• Said goodbye to one of my wonderful horses

  

  Visiting Shadow at his new home

• Painted the outside of my little trailer   (I'll do another post to show you the progress of Lolita's new 'clothes'.

•  And now my last foster kiddo left (not in a good way).  This is not how I imagined saying goodbye to a little guy although troubled,  has been a huge part of my life for four years.  

  This is not how I imagined ending my 38 year career as a foster parent.   

  My emotions are all over the chart.   I am vacillating between tears of loss and giddy with impending freedom.   And oh my, the work the still needs to be done is mind numbing.   Lordy,  I'm not sure I am ready for all the changes that full - timing will bring!!  But yet they keep on coming.  I'm beginning to feel like a proverbial snowball gathering speed as it rolls down the hill.  

  I am pouring out my heart to you that reader of this blog as a way to document the process I am going through and seek support from those who have walked the path I am on.  I made a promise to myself as I started to blog to keep it real.  No glossing over the hard parts.  No glamorizing the difficulties.  You have all been incredibly supportive as I move through this process.  I can't tell you how much this has meant to me.

So there you have it.... the good, the bad and the ugly.
