So yes, it is about time to update this thing. I was starting to fall behind. So anyways...
I went to Purdue over the weekend. I had a great time. Friday night is a little bit of a blur, though I do remember that I had a good time. (hince the fact that it was a blur) I am still the same old Joy Noel that I have always been, I have just chosen to go and party every now and then with a "good 'ol buddy" of mine! I am always smart about it and never get in a car with anyone that has been drinking. 9 out of 10 times we just walk back to our destination. Ok...so anyway Saturday was a fun day. Aarons Granny and Dad came up and we went to the Football Game. Here is something to get excited about, Purdue played Ohio State and kicked butt. That's right Purdue is back! After the game we went to eat with his Dad and Granny and then we went back to the dorms. After that we headed to Marker's apartment and just hung out. We were actually all just hanging out, except for Joe and Adam they were drunk, it never fails that Joe is drunk. For the rest of us we were just talking and watching movies. It was a good time. I left Sunday and headed back to school.
Sunday evening was an adventure that I would rather just forget about. When I got back to school I called my mom to tell her that I was back, when I called she sounded worried and when I asked what was wrong she hesitated to tell me. When she finally did I would have rather have not known. Two of the foster girls at my house had run away earlier that afternoon. This was something that I honestly thought would never happen. I was completely hysterical and didn't know what to do. I was terrified of what might happen to them. My mom called about an hour later and after about 3 hours of them being away from the house they had found them. They were headed to their mothers house, but they stopped at a friends house becuase it was getting dark and they were scared. The sherriff brought the girls back to my house where everyone was happy to know that they were alright.
The thought that runs throught my head... How can you be the mother (biological) of these girls and know that what you have done to these children, the torture and the emotional strain that you have brought upon these kids, how can you live with yourself each day. After nearly 3 years and the many opportunities that you as a mother have had to straighten yourself up, why haven't you? These children do not to be put in your possession ever again. They should have been put up for adoption long ago. They need a family that will love them and care for them and give them what they have always wanted. Each day they get older and each day they are one step closer to leaving the system, that is one day less that they could have had a loving family to give them all they want. My parents won't be there forever.
Ok....sorry...Well Monday I realized how much I actually had to accomplish this week school wise. It was quite a bit and I am still working on it. It is almost close to done. Whoo Hoo!!!!!!!
I am really looking forward to this weekend. First off my mom is coming to Indy for a convention on Foster Care and Adoption on Thursday and Friday. I am going to head to Indy and meet up with her on Thursday afternoon after my classes. We are going to go to dinner and do some Christmas shopping that evening. Friday I am going to go to the convention with her. I am really looking forward to that time with my mom. It will be a good time for us to be together. My dad is volunteering to stay at home with the kids. He was invited to come but my mom and dad thought it would be best that he stayed home with them.
Friday I my mom will head back home and I will meet Erica and Amber in Indy. Once we have met, we are heading to Purdue for a Kick Ass Rockin Weekend. We are going to have so much fun LADIES. I cannot wait!
Alright I must go to bed...They rest will come later!
