Happy Easter!!!!

So it has been a good day for me. I had a wonderful easter with some friends. I talked to most of my family and my dishes are done. LOL.
Josh and Clarissa, who have been friends since i lived with the dreaded ex, had invided me for easter lunch. I was very excited and anxious to see their new house. They have been married and had two boys since we lived across from them in an apartment in CR. They have always been great friends and always looked out for my best interests. They have been to my house before so it was my turn to go and see them. They live in Belle Plaine which is about an hour from my house but was definately worth the time. We had lunch with them, a family friend and Clarissa's parents. Then we broke out the butterscotch snaps and make drinks called butterfinger. They were totally yummy. We played skipbo, where i won both games, go me, and chatted for a while.
I then got a phone call from a friend back in high school. I have stayed friends with her despite her life choices and have tried to be there for her. I don't know if i have talked about her before but those who are close to me will know who she is. She got herself a new boyfriend and a new baby. She was arrested on friday morning for possession and the children were taken away. The new boyfriend who is 11 years younger was already in jail for traffic violations. I know... what a mess. My heart really goes out to the kids. Maraya is 7 now and the baby only a few months old. She explained everything to me and that she is having a hard time not crying all the time especially since it is easter. My feeling on it is that people who don't follow the rules deserve what they get. I just feel aweful for Maraya because she is now being shipped to foster homes and is probably terrified. I want to be there for her but don't want to be in the same situation we ended up with, with Chris's sister and kids. I don't know what to do. I hope she doesn't call again and want me to take the kids. I know what is right but really want to help. What should I do?
Other than that the day has been great. Chris and I had dinner and he helped me with the dishes. I have been talking with my sister online as well as on the phone. I really enjoy talking with her. I remember when we were younger and I swore that we would never get along. I remember the screaming and yelling and hatred. Now I couldn't ask for a better best friend.
So now Chris is at the end of my feet watching the tv and i am on this end typing to you. It is a good feeling to have him in the living room with me. We both have to work in the morning so it will be an early night for us but we both get to share wednesday off together. Maybe i can get him to vacuum. LOL.
Talk to you all soon. I hope you had a good easter too.

Don't take the kids - she should rely on her family. And let's face it, M is probably better off with foster parents anyway. You have your own life to lead...and you'll get no thanks. That's hard, but it's not your problem. Remember she only calls on you when she needs something - and this something that is way too big for you alone. I can't believe what an arse she's been.
