I was watching True Life on MTV tonight ( yes I still watch MTV. It makes me a cool mom ,right?!), and the topic was kids who are homeless. Let me just say WOW! The things those kids and their parents have to go through everyday just to survive is overwhelming. I totaly sat in the living room and cried- I'm not afraid to admit it! It was so heartbreaking to see these families not know where they were going to sleep each night, or how they were going to eat. One girl was 17, and for her birthday had to buy a new tire for the family car. I used to get a little sad if I only got 3 gifts on my birthday. It was so sad to see these parents break down and cry cause they couldn't provide for their kids. I am just grateful Rylee has clothes and food and warm place to sleep. All the toys and extras just seem so small after watching this. It made me realize how much I really do have, and how much I really don't need! I have so much compared to some poeple. We have had to cut back on alot of things with Chaseys hours getting cut. Cutting back to us though is not eating out, not going shopping, not going on vacations. I really do have so much to be grateful for, and need to remember that!
