"It is the Law that any difficulties that can come to you at any time, no matter what they are, must be exactly what you need most at the moment, to enable you to take the next step forward by overcoming them.

My Dh aunt just called - "S" CW just called her - she says she has 3 possible homes that will take both "S" & "C" - says she wants to keep them together

a lil update

just wanted to give you all a lil update - we may be picked to do kinship care for my DH's cousins' grand daughter "C" (mom "S" is 15 years old) so "S" ran away last year ended in in GA with moms' family (mom is deceased) don't really know how she ended up being put in the system - guessing when cousin tried to get assistance for her - but now has a 6 month old "C" . On Thursday they were seperated into 2 homes - "S" went to a friends house with "C" and left her there foster mom had to call police because the friend wouldn't give baby up - "S" didn't tell anyone till Saturday when she called faternal grandmother (DH'S aunt) for money. She is supposed to be going to a "Mommy & Me" program but there is no room there so we may take care of "C" until she is moved there. I spoke with her SW's Supervisor who asked if we were willing to take them both and I told her no because "S" doesn't like rules and my house has them - she said she understood - DH's aunt said she'll keep "S" until she is moved and really wants us to keep "C" until then -Hopefully it'll only be for a month or so we are ok with it - we know "S" is young but she was grown enough to get in this situation and unfortunately she will have to grow up fast- the program is a really good one that will teach her the parenting sklls that she will need... Pray for us -

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.-Lou Holtz

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them-Kahlil Gibran

HOW Rude... Ranting here warning
I left my RFW a message on Tuesday, no call back on Wednesday - Left her a message this morning and called again right before I left work - so I clearly see how i can be a pain but give me a break after all we have been thru a little communication helps here - She picks up - sounds as if she is annoyed - apologizes for not calling me back and even before i get to ask her my single question "Has our waiver been submitted" she proceeds to tell me that she is actually heading out - lots of crisis to tend to and that it would be appreciated if I could wait until she gets a response and that she will call me tomorrow and hangs up - I know she will not get an answer right away but my question was just to ask if our paperwork was submitted - When we last saw her on Dec 5 , she said she was going to start on them on the same day - ( a family member of DH - had needed a waiver as well and it only took a week )called her 12/15 claimed still working on it - left her along during the holidays and even gave her till 1/7 - she then tells me that the waivers will be submitted on 1/19 - like come on already - you either submitted it or not - got a call from the guy about the toddler bed and crib - left him a message - but I don't want to take the furniture if in fact this is not going to go thru - I don't want someone who could really use it miss out because of me ....... ok sorry just needed to vent- on a happier note DH cousin has been asked to adopt the baby she has - tpr is set for next month .....

Tick tick tick

So here I am just waiting for some type of info from our RFW- Last I spoke to her she said she would submit on 1/19 -- I didn't have a calendar in front of me as I was driving and on the cell phone - to come to find out the 19th was MLK Bday and everything was closed so I called and left her a voicemail yesterday and still no word. I did find a toddler bed and crib on Craig's List for free and only 2 towns away so hopefully I will be the lucky recepient.... Class starts next week when I officially become a collge student - like London Tipton says "Yeah Me!"

Countdown- 11 days

I spoke with our RFW - and she said she will be submitting our waiver to licensing on the 18th - the 18th I asked - she advised that supervisor would be in to sign off on it - so like I said the countdown begins. I am just to the point where something needs to happen ((({big sighs}))) hopefully I will be signing up for classes tomorrow - I decided to major in education and specialize with special needs P-3 - guess I am just finally ready to go back to school.

Nothing else major is happening - just want to get things going ...
