My tiny humans...
Tonight I’ve got two of my seven nieces and nephews! It makes me feel so good that they choose to come and stay with me and want to hangout with me as if I’m, “cool” or something. I take this role very, very seriously! I under no circumstances will let anything stand in the way of me being the best aunt to these 7 little beautiful people. They mean everything to me! Maybe I hold on a little tighter because I was told I can’t have my own children, I don’t know?! But as of right now, they’re the best people I’ve got! And my role in their upbringing is so important to me! I don’t ever want them to look back and think, “Aunt Shelby wasn’t there for that,” or, “Aunt Shelby wasn’t around, ever.”
I had an uncle like that. He never came to anything, he disappeared from our lives, pretty much since I can ever remember. I lost respect for him, I didn’t care about him, I couldn’t find one single thing I liked about him because all I ever knew about him was that he NEVER showed up.
That is NOT the impression I want to ever give my little loves! They need me as much as I need them! Who is going to be the one that gives them advice when they don’t want to go to their parents? Who’s gonna be the one that picks them up from a place they shouldn’t have been in the first place to bring them home safely? Who is going to be the person who is always there when they need someone, no matter what? ME! It’s going to be ME!
Anyway, I know I said I’d update bathroom pictures today but I forgot to take some and at this point in the day I have absolutely no motivation to do so. I have to finish cooking dinner for the yahoos that are always hungry before they actually get here!
I hope you all have a beautiful Sunday!
XOXO
