Since my last post my sweet little girl that was placed with me left to go home and now I have two, two year olds. Yes as a matter of fact I AM crazy. I was going to the DCF office to pick up one and then my phone rang and well you know what happens when your a foster parent and the phone rings! One is just until her foster mom comes back from vacation and the other is for two weeks until a group home opens up so that she can be with her siblings. Did I mention one of these children speaks NO English? Have I mentioned I speak NO Spanish? Theres a whole lot of sign language going on here.
I really miss my girl. She called me yesterday and I cried like the idiot I am. I am happy that she is enjoying herself and I know she will love going to school. I just wish she were close enough for me to get a hug from more than 3-4 times a year. ( stupid boy, stole my girl!!)
I will have a little peace and quiet today. One of the babies has visitation with her mother so the caseworker is coming to pick her up at 11:30 and she will be gone until 2:30. I plan to make a mad rush around the house to clean the things I haven't been able to get to since the dynamic duo got here. Makes me tired to think about it.

A new placement
Friday night about 10:00 pm the licensing agent called and asked if I could take a little girl for the weekend that had been left alone in a hotel room. Needless to say I said yes. I had just
cried my eyes out and told my oldest daughter goodbye ( she is moving with her husband to Missouri to attend school ) about 10 minutes earlier. God has WONDERFUL timing. I have never been one that had a great amount of confidence in my abilities to do pretty much anything, accept be a mother. I know I am definitely not perfect at it by any means, but I do feel like God has helped me love my children the way I want to love them. I will probably have to say goodbye to this sweet little girl Monday after the hearing and I am sure I will cry but I am so glad that I had the opportunity to love her while I could. She is from out of state and will return to her area. If you remember say a prayer for her and her sibling that they will be in a loving home that will make them feel as special as they are.
My husband is home thank the Lord!!!! I don't like the single parent thing at all. We are going away in two weeks for our birthdays to a resort here in Orlando. OK so it's not really going away when you aren't leaving the town you live in but it will be a change of scenery. Can't wait!!

Brace yourself
We are licensed for foster care. It only took them a year to re license us. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Now the fun begins. My oldest daughter leaves Saturday morning. She is moving to Kansas City for her husband to attend Law school. She will be attending IHOP school of music. So proud of them but not loving the distance.
My darling husband has been traveling a little too much. Not loving his new job so much. Great for him. Hotel, big food allowance and lots of time to himself. Trying not to be bitter and resent him for leaving. I know it's not his fault, but I never wanted to be a single parent. I am lonely when he is gone and feel like the maid. Not possible to have any time to myself when he is gone and when he is home I don't want to do anything without him. I am not someone that needs a lot of me time but I think I am in need of some soon. Enough complaining!!!!
Got a new car!!! A nerdy mommy van. I love it though. It is so much more comfortable than the Jeep we had. Leather seats thank the lord, so that the baby barf will come off easily. Yeah!!
