Jay’s Boys

Of course you knew I’d do it… I signed up for “Little Men” and “Jo’s Boys” on DailyLit.

Last night was our final Foster Parent Training Class. It was quite a dull  training, in all, but we’re glad to have gotten through it and we’re nearly done with paperwork. The only thing left to do is set up our little house…

We decided long ago to ask for kids 0-12 years old. Neither of us wanted to deal with kids Mindy’s age because, well, they’re snotty and we are so tired of having to deal with the possibility of them being high or drunk or smoking. It’s just not cool. But this week, both Rob and I have had the ol’ spur-in-the-side, which is the Lord laying it on our hearts to accept teenagers.

“You’ll be doubly blessed,” He told me at work today. I was having an OK day, just stressing about the home visit and the rest of the paperwork. And having to put the room together. And possibly moving my piano into my room because it’s the only one big enough to accommodate the piano besides the living room… and we only have seating for 4 people there if you’re being generous.

And so I’m envisioning myself as Mother Bhaer, with 12 boys in my house. Argh!

What a blessed thought!
