Fight Club

Today should probably be called fight club. Lets see who can be mean, who can cry, and who is still standing at the end of the day. I have no doubt that I can be the toughest so I'm not putting myself in the rink. Other than that I think maybe Camille or Madeline. We are tired of snow days or ice days or quality time at home. Monday was great. I took Z to drop in daycare and he was the happiest little boy ever. I guess I never realized the beauty of day care. He ran in and never looked back to say bye. He has been so mad that he couldn't go to school so finally I figured I could take him there. Everyone was at school! I took a time out on the sofa with hot cocoa & Rachel Ray. Got some laundry going then the call from Bridlewood that Lucas's ear was bothering him. Short lived peace. Never dull around here. We just need a constant stream of antibiotics going.
Picked Z up from daycare around 12:30 and he sang and kicked his feet all the way home, then willingly lay down for a nap. This is exactly why I don't like a snow day. Today was suppose to be "everyone at school". So much for great plans.
Went to supervised visits yesterday. I'd asked if the cousin that Z & KK are suppose to go live with could come to the visit. She was there. KK recognized her & snuggled up to her to view her pics on her phone. Z had nothing to do with her. I still haven't heard if they will be going to live with her or not. Still waiting for the home study results. During dinner KK asks if Auntie is the one she is going to live with. I said that Auntie wants KK to get to live with her. I told KK that I love having her live with me but that Auntie is family. Words of wisdom passed over the table as we eat our chicken chili. And that was all that was said. The door is opened and we'll give more information as it comes. I can't tell her that she will be going there since I'm not certain. I'm learning that nothing is certain in the world of foster care. Well, maybe one thing, we do love the kids. I sometimes think I should just say, "WAIT A MINUTE! These kids are adjusted and doing so well here, we'll just keep them. KK is planning playdates with classmates, Z loves his new daycare spot."
Got a chance to talk with A's mommy & daddy for some length yesterday. Breaks my heart to hear how Z's mommy was his everything then all of a sudden just dumps him. Now I feel like I will be another mommy who just dumps him. A's mommy said they are close to having all the things done to their house, just putting new windows in. She told me of how they are attending a new church and at a gathering the preacher's wife said that someone in the congregation had a room at their house that was chaos and that the chaos represented what was going on in their life. A's mommy raised her hand and said that it was her. The church has now taken action in helping them get rid of the chaos in their home. God is at work in all places. I know that he will show us what is best for all these kids.
