The Pacifier

I feel like I am in a fog as papers and explanations are sat in front of me to sign. I can't imagine what Todd is thinking as he signs the papers. Its a little like sitting in a class where the teacher slips into a foreign language every once in awhile. They keep asking if I have any questions, and I have the glazed "duh" look on my face of "I'm feeling too stupid to even think of a question". Madeline & Lucas kick into super hostesses mode. A(as I will call the angel girl) is given a monster size glass of milk in a glass cup no less and I'm not sure how many cookies they eat on the sofa. I'm trying not to watch them as I continue with the signing. A is giggling and before I know it, she and Lucas are engaged in a game of hide and seek. Who can refuse the charms of Lucas? Of course, Madeline is just sucking in the tv which she was suppose to be grounded from.
Paperwork is finished and now here we are. Its after 10 when I get the tub filled and then have to remember that you can't leave a kid in the tub, you have to have all the stuff gathered. We get the stuff and she hops in. She is smiling and it is contagious. I get her in bed and remember the pacifier. Yes, the cps dude told me about the pacifier and that I should really keep up with that one. I know, less trauma, but a pacifier for a 4 year old. Ok, I can do this. Only thing is, I can't find the darn thing. She thinks she left it in cps dude's truck. I'm thinking, oh crap, I remember a certain Camilleybug that loved her pacie. I told A that I we'd either get her a new pacie tomorrow or that she could get a toy. She said ok, I patted her back and she fell asleep. Its the first but far from the last time that I will be amazed. Please know, this child has always lived with the same people. She did tell me that she didn't know if she could sleep in that bed. I'm thinking, there's no way I could probably sleep in that bed either and its only 25 steps away from mine. I'm a girl that likes her own bed & pillow. She sleeps until 6:30. Camille is ecstatic to meet A in the morning. They are 2 giggling girls. One brown curly top and one blond curly top. Finally, Camille can be a big sis.
