My Pretend "Family"

On Sunday, my B, mom and I decided to pick up my sister C's three boys and take them to the Vanderbyl zoo for the day. They have a beautiful bird aviary there we wanted to have a look at. It was an absolutely amazing day. We picked them up at 8am.

Walking around the zoo, I had this amazing feeling of being a "real", even though it was pretend, family. The three boys were talking, laughing, running around..I was buying them cooldrinks, toys and snacks. It was lovely feeling like a family.

To anyone with a family, this might seem weird, almost psycho, but to me, it felt so natural. I love my nephews with all my heart. I also want to be a Mom. I want to take my LO's on trips. I want to walk with my head held high with a "yes, those are my kids" attitude...But, alas, I will wait. My turn will come

Today, I called my Brother G. His lazy good for nothing wife is determined to go through with the divorce. I am so angry with her. It is like the devil has possessed her Soul...evil!!!!!

The good news is that my Brother G is going to fight for custody of their two LO. I am so proud of him. The LO's are a boy S, 4yrs old and a girl H, 2 years old. My brother can definitely give them a better life and much more stable. I worry that my SIL will keep the kids from us.

The other good news is that my Brother G is coming to JHB this weekend for a "WHOLE" week....yahhoooooo...I am so happy. I love my brother. Although we have had our differences over the years, I have always looked up to my big brother (10 years older than me)

Not much news...so "fluit, fluit, my storie is uit"

I know what you mean - when I go shopping with my niece from time to time, ppl think she's my daughter, as we both have long dark hair and so many ppl have said that she looks like me (her own mother (my SIL) included!!!). It's a great feeling, isn't it??

You'll get there - I have faith in that!
