<3 Awe! <3 I'm important to them!
This morning, SD12 asked me if I was anxious for my birthday. I told her that I wasn't really anxious, but excited because it will be my first birthday with both girls in home. Then, SD told me that she will buy me something but it will be small, because she only has a dollar something. (We provide for the girls, but they don't get an allowance. The dollar she has is leftover from Christmas!)
So, I asked both girls if they wanted me to call their dad, and ask him if he'll give them $5.00 so they can shop for my birthday. They both said yes, so I called Hubby.
Hubby said "That warms my heart, because it means you are doing a good job with them! You are a 24 hour, 365 day parent to them, and they love you! You're doing a good job, Babe!"
I started to cry. 
I couldn't help it, because I love all three of them so much, and all three of them have been doing so many little things lately to show me that they truly care!

Aswang, thanks for your
Aswang, thanks for your reply! I reread it a few times, and I had a long and drawn out response for you. I doubt anyone wants to sit through THAT though!
The truth is, I don't feel like any of the things that you see me as. I live a life that I love, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. My SDs have given new meaning to my life.
You disengage because you have to. What else do you have in your life? Most women on this sight have bio kids, jobs, and things other than their Skids to fill up their days. I don't have that (I'm disabled and can't work or drive.)
Before my SDs came home, my life was long days of nothing. Now, there is a rhythm and meaning to it all. My house is so small that every movement feels like a synchronized dance!
Thank you, Aswang, for all the beautiful compliments, but I'm really no better than you, I promise! I'm a hot mess, really! I don't mind it, though, because my life is a happy life!
