another brother

everybody check out my youngest older brother's most recent post at andrewthomas.blogspot.com!

he's living in andy's room right now. ha, ha.

sort of exciting. i love how my mom just loves and gives. i wonder what dad thinks of this? i sort of have mixed feelings. i mean... for years and years i always put "a little sister" at THE very top of my christmas list... never once got it. and now, 20 years later, another brother. (well, sort of a brother. nobody knows how long he'll be living at our house. sort of have mixed feelings about that as far as how busy and tired mom is already... how i worry about that literally all of the time, and financial stuff... but i know i shouldn't be selfish. the only thing i'll be selfish about is that he can't live in my room. b/c i still live there, goshdarnit.) :) can't wait to meet him. i wonder if he likes hugs? b/c right now i really just want to give him a big ole' hug. would he look up to me like a big sis? i've always wanted a younger sibling. to be a good example for a younger sib-- to call him or her "pal" and hopefully help him/her out whenever needed. to do fun things w/ him/her. sort of give him/her what i sort of felt like i didn't get too much (hugs, encouragement, mostly-- support-- attention- smiles- the things i think all younger sibs should get from their older sibs). hmm... fun thoughts. no reason to worry. hakuna matata. this will be great, whatever the situation! just thank GOD that he's in a safe place. no child... no child at all... deserves such instability and abuse. he's in great hands now. what happens from here... God has complete control of. just gotta trust! (and pray that mom isnt giving herself toooooooooo much to handle... though she's the sort of person who will say that nothing is too much-- she could take on the world w/ one hand, and cook a feast for 1000 w/ the other at the same time. and a darn good feast, at that. man, i love that woman like none other...)

time to do my very last piece of homework before the semester is over! (besides studying for finals.) writing my final directed observation paper over my interview w/ sra vieira! can't wait! though i'm sad that my ed classes are ending-- they've been incredible this semester. my ed professors rock my face off times a trillion. later, gators...
