is this really happening?

from a long shot to the SW saying that she wants Red's cousins with us.... I'm trying to get the foster care paperwork done so we can start the process. And I'm well aware of the long process that it can be. I'm panicked that we might not get the kids.... and panicked that we might! What are we doing!! lol The boy is just Red's age, and the sister is 18 months!!!

I'm too old for this...

But we will never say no!

Blondie is busy visiting relatives again. This time on the western side of North Dakota. I miss her - she's been gone far too much! Tonight she calls to say good night and asks "any news?" - how very discreet of her :) She knows we haven't told Sir's side of the family about the possibility of more children - but she's praying to get them and wants to know news as soon as she can. Poor Blondie - I don't think she knows what she's praying for: a 11 year old with three little ones!

Red is as busy as every. Okay, you know those proper egress windows? This child of mine popped the screen off and cranked out the window of his second floor bedroom. I just gasped when I saw that. There is a child's gate now firmly in place within the window frame.

And this darling little boy just called out "night Mommy! sweet dreams!"

Sir is working out of town for a couple of days. He only left today - but I miss him already! Aren't cell phones great! :)

Now for a nice shower, and snuggling in bed with a chick flick. Ah.... there are some rewards :)

"I'm too old for this...

That would about cover it for me!

It's so hard when the kids abandon us! I mean, when they get a chance to go see and do elseswhere....

I love the fact that your Red is so abviously bright! But I do feel relief that it's not me having to deal with it. LOL! Gives me heart palpitations just reading about him!

Hope Sir is back soon!

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I like your blog and will add it to my regular reading list. I'd have to say my favorite post so far is your May 22 post entitled, "Maybe I yell..." Too funny!

Yours is the 2nd blog I've come across recently that is written by a foster/adoptive homeschooling mom. The first is at (I think) www.somethingsnotsonice.blogspot.com. If that link doesn't work, let me know & I'll look it up for you.

I noticed your note about wanting to put a pic on your template. Do you use a photosharing site such as photobucket? If so, you can upload a pic there, then paste the html code it gives you into your template. That's what I do. I am very html-illiterate, but this is easy.
