Where, oh where, have they gone? (To the tune of How Much is that Doggie in the Window?)
I’m not really talking about my own children. Andrea and Joshua are in school, cramming their little minds full of knowledge right now. I’m talking about the foster children. It’s been a while since I updated you so I’m going to pretend you care and tell you the latest.
County A or County B? If you want to know what the fuss was about, read this. County B denied our request to foster in County A, so we wasted three weeks trying to get the first little babies we heard about. I explained County B’s decision to my children like this:
“If you come ask me for candy, I’ll probably say yes. If you come ask again five minutes later, I’ll most likely say no.” A friend of ours had applied to foster out-of-county and had been approved, but when we asked for the same thing so soon after, it began to look like a pattern instead of an exception.
It’s all good. I also reminded the kids that it means the kiddos God has for us to take care of come from County B (CB). So we switched gears and began the certification process with CB. Unfortunately, they are slammed. Between the certs they already had scheduled and the emergency ones that come up when family members take children, our case worker couldn’t fit us in until weeks down the road.
I forgot how quickly time can pass. Though it feels like it’s been forever, the days have flown by and I’m facing the reality of a home study in two days. Which means I need to finish reorganizing my office. (I really should have taken before and after pictures.) And I need to clean the bathrooms.
This was not the best time for our cat to pee in the house. However, two loads of laundry and a carpet cleaning later, I feel good about what I’ve accomplished today.
And watch out. I’m actually planning on blogging two days in a row. I’ll be sharing a little bit about my next project!
