"Make The Most"- N. Gourdin

I got my Jada Pinkett-Smith on this weekend when I babysat my boyfriends kids that he shares with his ex-boyfriend.

There was once a time when I shuddered at the idea of even being in the same room as children.

Well, not so much being the same room as them, but being in a room that contained my things! hahaha

All of that has changed though. In part, because of TallT's nephews (the kids his ex adopted when they were together).

I have had the opportunity to watch them grow up and develop their own personalities.

Loving the kids has been the easy part.

I was, at one time, concerned about ever liking TallT's ex. Though I am still not his biggest fan, I feel like I have reached a new level of understanding which allows me to enjoy his company.

When he dropped the kids off I actually invited him in and asked him to stay for the breakfast that I was preparing for the kids. (I KNOW!!!! ME! I, too, was very shocked!) TallT was at work and it gave the two of us an opportunity to chop it up for a second.

Something clicked in me and I realized that if this situation even has an chance of working it is going to require the adults to get it together... if for nothing else, for the kids that we all love.
