Logan is still “with us” in the sense that he’s listed in our home as far as the state knows. But he’s staying with his former/next family as I type this, and he’s been there since last week.
I woke up very sad this morning and I still can’t quite figure out why. I think it’s [...]

Not Sure Now

So Long, Logan…
Tomorrow is our last day as foster parents to Invisi-Logan. While Rob was at school for two weeks, Logan requested to be permanently placed with his former family. We’re not really positive, but think the reason they want Logan in care even though he’s over 18 is because he is not yet finished with school.

THE LITTLE KIDS
had a greatexperience this morning, stemming directly from my lateness and unpreparedness. I know, it sounds a bit weird. I set my timer so that I would get up from the computer and playing on Facebook, (btw bloggers pls don’t mention MY blog on FB. Real life peeps know nothing abt my blog… thx) [...]

Mindy Graduating Today
For the longest time, I never believed I would be typing that headline, “Mindy Graduating Today.” Sure I have faith that God can do amazing things. I HAVE PROOF of that, just look at my last post! But with my dear niece, I just was never sure.
Mindy and her boyfriend “live together” if you can [...]

New Home in My Old Hometown
So I was checking out Stormy’s (former foster daughter’s) MySpace today and it says she is moving back to the town that Rob and I just moved from a few months ago. It’s also the town WHERE I WORK.
I have a couple of problems with this, manily that Stormy is a shoplifter and I don’t [...]

What a Difference a Day Makes
… or two or three days, even.
I am sitting here now somewhat in awe of the crabbiness and nastiness I showed here on my blog last week. So in honor of God leading me by the hand out of that pit once more, I shall speak of my blessings today!
I don’t remember if I mentioned [...]

No More Sackcloth
My time of mourning is done. I miss Stormy, but I am getting back to life.
Some random points of interest:
I found the most amazing curtains/linens store on Saturday. It’s designer products at LESS THAN Wal-Mart prices. YEAHHH! Oh, and I witnessed a bit to one of the workers.
Some clothes I ordered for Stormy came in [...]

Nut.Meg
So Stormy had some friends over last night. We were glad to have them as they were polite and nobody tried to sneak out or anything. (Checked the snow outside for telltale footprints.)
This afternoon, Rob and I wanted to treat Stormy to some family time, hanging out, shopping a little at Pier 1, grabbing a [...]

I’m Still Standing
Even now, I am still standing. Things are in a holding pattern. No time to breathe.

You Ought to Know…
Just wanted someone to know:
I feel like a failure, putting in notice to get rid of Miss Stormy. I wanted to do it all right, and I couldn’t.
Stormy doesn’t know yet. I guess partly because I am not certain that it’s the right decision. Last week was Hell… but this week has been good.
I hate [...]

- I am not a great mom, but I get great ideas through Love and Logic Parenting for Teens and through praying, and talking with my Darling Rob.
- I am a good mom. I have my eyes open to Stormy’s antics 100% of the time, and there are times when I am waiting for the right [...]
