Well, It’s Here . . .
Like it or not, the day is here when we start our foster parent classes
and they last from 10 in the morning until 5pm!!! I spoke with our intake worker yesterday. He told me he has been approved to remain as our caseworker. I’m glad. He’s a nice man. While I was talking with him, I realized JoAnn (A RELATIVE) was in the car and asked if he could use her as a relative reference, since he and Stephanie keep missing each other. They talked a long time. There is a list of questions the interviewer is supposed to ask the reference person, but those friends who DID receive calls a few weeks ago told us very little was asked. Anyway, he still would like to talk with Stephanie, but that was one more reference out of the way.He didn’t know if we got a “lunch” break or not during these long classes on Saturdays, so I’m not sure if we are to bring sandwiches to class. He said he knew they served snacks but, with the price of groceries these days, I bet none of those snacks will be meat or cheese. I have a problem with low blood sugar and I’m thinking we better take a sandwich!
We drove all the way north to the girls therapy appointment yesterday, only to find out the entire office had left two hours earlier for a week-end retreat! That was wasted gas. We went to the Wal-Mart up there (by Stephanie’s apartment) and did minor shopping. My bill was still for $100 and some odd cents! I walked out with milk, juice, eggs, a couple frozen pizzas and some salad fixings.
I was sleepy and went to bed before 10pm last night. Jesse woke up 30 minutes after me this morning and said he stayed up AGAIN until 11:30pm watching the Olympics!!! My body (armpit strain and should spasm) feel almost completely healed except for some mild tingling where there used to be pain. I’m so glad. I think getting that extra sleep these past few nights helped.
JoAnn will stay with the girls today and I’ve written a list of chores to keep them halfway busy! She doesn’t mind because she knows they’ll listen to her. I hope they ARE well behaved and DO listen to her!!!
Better eat some breakfast and take a quick bath. It will be time to leave before I know it! It’s 8:10am and we have to leave at 9am.
I’ll let everyone know, later, how boring these classes end up being!

I am SO glad that you are beginning to feel better! And I hope that the classes aren’t too bad!!
Have a blessed weekend ~Judy
All God’s best with the classes. Glad the arms feeling better, it’s hard to function with a damaged wing. Take care~Dawne
I know it must be frustrating to take them all over again when you did this once already. Hope it’s not too bad. Glad your boo boos are healing.
I really disliked taking those classes…such a waste of time and money, for us.
I’ve got your family on my mind and in my prayers. I hope you can enjoy the rest of JoAnn’s visit. Love to you all…
