Took the girls clothes shopping today for school. Luckily, it is Tax Free Weekend and we were able to get a few things for them, even though I only had $40.00 to spend on each of them, since we HAD to pay the electric bill so that we don't die in the heat. ($450.00 that one...ouch!)
I'm in complete agreement with Matthew on one major thing: The Powers That Be need to leave Cartwright, Brian, and Joy alone. These poor kids have been through enough...their father being arrested and deported back to Kenya by Homeland Security, their mother having dual strokes that have left her an immobile invalid for the rest of her life, having to make the decision to send their mother back to Kenya so that she could get free medical care--since they didn't have the money or insurance to pay for it, and now...finding out that their father has died...
They can't take much more...they're going to break. So...PTB, Fates, whoever happens to want to listen:
QUIT IT! LEAVE THEM ALONE!
I love them all so much and I'm hurting for them. Seeing the sadness in their eyes, how quiet they've all become...they have each other, and I'm really thankful for that...but for how long? That's the problem...
Matthew sent up a promise to Joe (their dad) last night that I echo completely. We aren't much, but we will do everything in our power for them...we will take care of them and protect them as best we can.
Continue sending warm thoughts and love to them...they really need it right now...
