I had sent a message to Hermano asking him if he was invited
to the birthday party on Saturday and if he needed a ride to and from. He never
responded to me. Yesterday, after picking Primero up at the respite home, I drove
the few blocks to the daycare. En route we noticed a familiar figure crossing
the street. It was Hermano. He hopped in the car and asked if I would take him
to his friend’s house. I agreed and left them in the car to pick up the little ones.
We dropped Hermano off on our way home to meet with the CHOR case worker. Hermano
has moved to a different foster home again. He had an issue with his previous
foster father and so he’s now in his fourth foster home. I feel bad for him. I
sense that the county is just going to let him age out of the system and he’ll
be right back into the muck and mire he had been into previously. I see Hermano
going the same route as their mother and it’s such a shame.
Last night as I was watching TV with Primero I received an
email telling me his bio mom was back in jail. I let Primero know and his only
response was, “Wow, really?” He told me this morning his brother had planned to
visit with their mom after spending time with his friend yesterday afternoon. I
feel bad for his brother because it seems like their mom is now doing the same
thing to Hermano that she did to Primero. I mean, I suppose there is some
validation for Primero, knowing that his bio mom isn’t favoring his brother,
but mostly it’s just a sad, sad situation. I guessing this means their mom won’t
be at the party on Saturday. I can’t say I’m torn up about that, but still I
know how much Primero looks forward to seeing her and spending time with her. I
hope his younger sisters will be there. I feel like they are not generally
included in family gatherings and that’s sad. Primero and I have plans to take
one of his younger sisters along with us to another Ariana Grande concert in
Hershey this summer. She so wanted to go to the one we attended in Philly, but we
had already bought tickets. I hope her guardian will allow us to take her
along, if not Primero has plans to invite his friend who is a foster kid with
another foster family we know. Her younger sisters are being adopted and she
hopes the adoptive family will consider doing PLC for her so they can be
together. If this happens before the concert, it might be tough to take her
along. I guess we’ll just figure it all out when the time comes.
I received my first stings from my honey bees this year. I was
in a hurry trying to feed the bees on Wednesday since my dad was holding Love
Bug and he was being fussy. I didn’t take my smoker and almost as soon as I
opened the lid to my meaner hive, I was stung. Then, as a coup de grâce, the
same hive stung me in the rear end when I was walking to the second, nicer
hive, to feed them. I’ve spent most of my time at work trying to keep my mind
off how bad the stings itch. I put tea tree oil on them to help soothe the
stings, but other than that there is very little I can do but wait it out. I
know there will be more times this summer that I will endure bee stings, it
just comes with the territory. Although, I hope this is my one and only sting
on the ass…….
