Is this not the sweetest picture of a boy and his doggie?

Can You Believe It?

First off, I adore my little foster care children. They are very sweet children that God has blessed me with (for a time). You know that you are doing the Lord's work when you are totally at the end of yourself, and there is somehow peace there.

But seriously, how many phone calls are TOO many in one day? I think 8 is about 6 too many.

1. Mom calls: What time is the visit?
2. Mom calls again: Can we change the time?
3. Worker G calls hubby: To talk about the visit
4. Worker G calls again

Child is dropped off for visit.

5. Mom calls: You didn't bring me any diapers. I don't have a car. You get paid to buy the diapers. You should bring me diapers.
6. Call Worker: What? I am I really suppose to supply her diapers? NO, but we do anyway.
7. Mom Calls: I don't have any clothes, I sent them all to you.
8. Call Worker: What? I asked her if she was keeping clothes. TWICE!!!! But I take her the clothes anyway.

Our dear worker is going into the office on Monday, even though he scheduled a vacation day. He wants to get the details of this case sorted out. I hope, for his sake he can do it in less than 8 phone calls.

Another Wild Day

It has been another wild day around here. This is our second day of being snow bound, but that is not the half of it! Our two darling foster care placements: 8 month old girl K, and 2 year old boy L are keeping me hopping!

Here are the highlights:

2:00 AM-The dog needs to go out. I trudge through the 8 or so inches of snow to the back yard so she can take care of business.

11:30 AM-My sweet darling children make lunch, maybe they are afraid there won't be any if they don't!

11:45 AM-Baby K's mom calls and changes the time of today's visit.

12:30 PM-L Boy messes his pants AGAIN.....oh the clean up :(

1:30 PM-Dear Hubby comes home to pick up baby for visit, didn't get the text about the time change. He then heads back to work.

1:45 PM -Social Worker G calls about visit details.

2:12 PM Social Worker G calls again about visit details.

2:13 PM Baby K's Mom calls to confirm time of today's visit.

2:55 PM Hubby takes Baby K to neutral location for pickup.

3:12 PM Hubby calls to ask if K's mom knows the time.

3:20 PM Hubby returns home after mom is a no show.

3:21 PM Mom calls to ask when the visit is going to be today.


Are you exhausted? I sure am! Not to mention the home schooling, the meal preparation, and everything else that goes with it......

I am so blessed to be able to take care of these little darlings. I am so blessed to have my own darlings (who aren't so little anymore).

GOD IS SO GOOD!
