Bad day
Before I start, I just looked at my sidebar and realized how out dated it is! Y is now 2.5 years old, C will be 4 in March, D will be 13 in May! Oh dear, the thought of having a teenager in this house makes my little heart go pitter-patter - and not in a good way. :p Speaking of ages, I started a new Bible study on Tuesday night and one of the very kind ladies in my group thought that I was 23. Which is really funny considering I'll be 30 in less than a year. I'm just glad people don't think I'm in high school anymore. :)
Yesterday the C-monster had a horrible day. It's so strange. Every once in a while he just has these days where he reverts to his tantrums phase...and I'm talking the long, drawn out tantrums where he cries in his room for 30 minutes at a time. And it's over such small things...like the fact that he had 10 minutes to get his coat on decided not to, and then when it was time to leave he suddenly wanted to put it on. Huge meltdown! Stuff like that happened several other times. I think he was tired. Last night we put the little boys to bed at 7:00 (usually they go at 7:30 or 8:00) and here were are at 7:30 and they have not made a peep so far. They are not napping at daycare, at least not very well, so that is part of the problem. I wish I could have found some part-time daycare for them that the state would pay for, but no such luck. Unfortunately they have to be at daycare or a visit for 6 hours every day, which means they are always there for nap time.
This morning M's foster mom is meeting with the caseworker. She is going to give me any new info she finds out, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous. I don't think I've mentioned yet, but D changed his address at his school to his mom's address. They called me to confirm, and I asked them to change it back. He is so certain he will be going home, and going home soon. I know that someone told him he is going home and honestly, in December they were talking about having him go home...but I don't think they are talking about it anymore, at least not in the sense that it could be happening "soon". It breaks my heart for him and it sucks that we will most likely be the ones that have to tell him if things have changed.
So anyway...I guess if I find out anything I can share, I will post later today or tomorrow. Or, you know, there might not be anything at all. Because you just never know!
