Plodding along
We are plogging along with a little progress on our adventure to Foster Care. We have a list of a few training videos we have to watch. We have also signed up for a Car Seat Safety class on December 1st in a neighboring county. It will cost us $60.00 but we will be reimbursed that amount from Nicollet County. I don't think I have actually said where we live or which counties we are working with. I have given some thought and think I will use this as a journal for myself more than a blog for anyone else to read. I highly doubt anyone is reading this. If you are, please leave a comment so I know you are there lurking.
I am so super excited to get going on this project. I have discussed this at length with my counselor and feel that this will be a good thing for me. I am still surprised by some people reaction to us doing this. I am happy to say that most people are genuinely excited for us. A common phrase, "I'm so glad there are good people like you to do this." my translation to that would be "Better you than me." I'm not sure if people really think that but that is infact what I heard in my head. Maybe I'm just being too judge mental.
I have been going to the thrift shop and scoring on some beautiful half priced baby clothes. I'm not sure what we will need but at least we will have some stuff if a little one comes our way. I need to pick up some Dreft to wash the clothes in so that I can get them put away in bins with ages clearly marked. I love the organizing and preparing that comes with it. There is such a feeling of accomplishment.
We have done some good cleaning in the house. I love to sit back and look at the clean flat surfaces and the freshly vacuumed rug. I swear I could vacuum every day between the kids and Henry. We have some new shelving we will be putting up. I will post pictures soon! We need to begin working on the upstairs. I have kind of avoided that area. It's a disaster and most of it is the kids. They struggle to let go of things. Everything is special and has meaning to them.
Other things: I have been crocheting like a crazy person. I have finished quite a few projects and will be getting payment for a good chunk of them. I have a few more to finish. Saturday is John's 46th birthday. Sunday is 1 year since my Cancer diagnosis. I haven't talked about that yet but it's a long story for another time.
