when i got home the first thing that my mother told me was that we are going to get my cousin before the end of the month, or at the latest the middle of may when their school year gets out. For those of you who do not know the whole story about how and why we are getting her here is some of the story. apparently my cousin David ( alexus's father) and his wife ( i have no idea what her name) have had trouble when it has come to kinds. the first one they had died of sids or something and the next one was taken away for some reason i do not know. when alexus was born she had some health problems i think and DHS intervened and placed her with a foster family. ever since then there has been a big court battle for her, and some time last year my family was brought into the conflict. the theory was that my family is the best for her right now, not to sure about that though considering how my mother acts sometimes. so ever since then my parents have been all gun hoe on the idea and have been doing every thing they can to make sure that we get her instead of someone else.
to tell you the truth i have not given this subject much thought till today. it is just that i have no idea how to handle this. it is something totally new for me, to think that i am going to have a new little sister here in a few weeks or months. this is a major change to my family hierarchy, i mean i am still the oldest but now i have a three year old foster sister to look after and make sure she does not make the same mistakes i made.
i guess to you this might seem kind of trivial to most of you, but i have no idea what i am going to do. my mom and dad are now going to have be paying attention to her twenty four seven. this might not be to much of a change for me, but i will also be responsible for her well being as well. this is just to much for me right now. so i am just going to pretend that my mother never said anything
