good morning
it's so nice out! it's amazing how easily the weather affects my mood - I was so grumpy and tired monday since it was so gross and rainy out, and now today the sun's shining and I'm so happy! I guess spending the night with a cute boy doesn't hurt, either ;-) joe and I went to a sushi place down by wall street for dinner last night. nush, the restaurant is right by our old apartment, on pine and water. it's called ise, and everything there was soooo good! I was really impressed. joe has been going there for a while, so we sat at the sushi bar and everyone knewhim. it was great, we didn't have to order anything. we just sat there and the sushi chef kept making us the yummiest stuff. such a fun night :-)
ok, so I have a question for you guys: jackie and I got into a discussion last week about the family center and the buddy program. basically, she doesn't think it's right to pair up kids whose parents are dying with mentors since the mentors won't be around forever. she thinks that after julia's mom passes away, julia is going to start depending on me a lot, and then she's going to end up getting even more hurt after I leave. she says that I don't understand - I guess the implication is that I don’t understand since I still have both my parents, and her father passed away when she was younger - but that it's better for kids to deal with the situation they're in instead of putting other people in their lives. I disagree with her completely. I think that I'm just there to be her friend, and she knows that - she will establish a relationship with her foster parents before her mother passes away, so they're the people she will depend on. I don't think I see her often enough for her to start depending on me.
