Bad week

In Nov. I had two girls that lived down the street from me who had two kids that became friends with my two kids. Right before thanksgiving they showed up at my door step with their two kids and animals crying they just got kicked out of their house. So I took them in. I couldn't see those kids out on the streets and I thought it was only going to be a little while its the holidays. Well three months later January 4Th 2010 to be exact they were still in my house with their animals and had done nothing but come up with excuse and pleas. My husband in formed me that one of the girls pulls a knife out on him the night before while I was asleep. That was the straw that broke the camels back. I ordered them out of my house. I didn't care where they went I just wanted them gone. So they went to the shelter and left half their things and their animals at my house. I have given them so much time to come get the stuff and their animals each time talking to them they still are homeless and got kicked out of the shelter for the same drama the caused at my house. Also just sitting around doing nothing but getting high. Those poor kids. My heart has been aching so much over what to do. I want to just put all there stuff out under my car port and tell them to come get it I'm done. I am a big believer in karma and always ask myself and the person involved what they would do if the shoe was on the other foot. Of course their going to say they to me I would take you in if you were homeless etc...Thing is I know humanity. I have always lived by the code do on to others as you would have done to you. Thing is I've also know that you can only help so much its up to that person to help themselves and if all they are doing is nothing what more can I do? So this last week I've been in a war with myself and with these woman in what to do with the rest of their things. Part of me wants to just toss it all out be done with it and done with them for good but the other half doesn't because their kids are friends with my kids and its hard when they try to involve the kids in our disagreements. I keep thinking what if that was me? But then again I would do everything under the sun to keep from being in on the streets or being in that situation. I'm home my trip back home in March will be what I need in dealing with all of this. I will also get to make peace with my little sisters murder that took place in Dec of 08. Anyway everything that happens makes me stronger and a better person. I am so excited to be doing so good in school even in the middle of all this drama going on in my personal life I am always able to leave it out of my mind when I log into class.
