Not sure how my great intentions don't always work. I thought my big motivation speech about following thru with allowance by being able to automatically transfer the money from my account to theirs would be a huge incentive. I never have cash so the allowance thing has never really worked out. Well, sent them off to begin their chores with simply their rooms. I got the entire downstairs cleaned, laundry going, old magazines sorted, lunch fixed, and what did they do? Not much. Slackers. After a different tone with my speech at lunch, this one not being recorded, rooms & all chores are now complete. Laundry all finished, just needs to be put away tomorrow. A sense of accomplishment.
Hung my favorite pics of the kids over the years in my bedroom. Love seeing the sweet children they once were. Had one extra frame that I need to get a current picture of them in. I went ahead & hung it to see my spacing. Todd asks if that's my foster husband and son in the picture. Nice.
Case manager called today. When I saw her name pop up my heart did a little skip & I considered not answering, but I did. She was just checking in. I told her to let us get thru ortho & physicals & then we'll be ready. Or as ready as we can be.
