Monday I had lots of plans, starting with quick house cleanup because Trevor's therapist was coming, and Logan's CPS worker had said she would be coming Monday or Tuesday. My morning did not go as planned, though. Both Trevor and Logan tantrumed for over an hour. Logan just screams and sometimes kicks the floor. Trevor is much more active in his tantrums. He kicks and hits anyone and anything around. He runs away. He throws anything he can. He screams and yells things like, "You're a mean foster mom" and "No, mommy!" It takes a lot of energy to not let him get to me, while ignoring him so he does not get the attention he's trying to get, while also making sure he's not going to hurt himself or someone else. So, needless to say, I did not get done the things I wanted. Trevor and Logan got down for nap late, and then I hurriedly tried to get as much done on my list as possible. In the middle of nap, Logan's CPS worker called and said she was on her way. Trevor's therapist did come, but was an hour late. Oh, and during this, Trevor's CPS worker emailed and asked if I could bring Trevor to her office the next day because she had not done her visit for the month. She's an hour away. I had to tell her no.
I'm glad not every day is like this! |
