omg, the stress is killing me.
just, no one knows what they're doing.
the amount of phone calls and running around i've had to do to get the kids in school is rediculous. the DSS is saying one thing and the school is saying something else. apparently they've been ready for a while now and no one bothered telling me. they told me i needed all this paperwork and shit and meanwhile they already had it. the schools told my worker that i hadn't registered them when i had two weeks ago. they told me i needed the shot records when they already had them.
apparently while i have Hunter in the home, he's not legally in my custody yet so i can't get his check or the extra food stamps. I HAVE NOTHING.
the kid is freaking out at the drop of a hat. it's rediculous but par for the course. i suppose taking a kid away from the parents then shoving him into abusive foster homes DOES NOT make a child behave better. IMAGINE THAT!
i went to get his meds yeaterday and apparently, when the kid saw him in July, the foster mother was given two prescriptions, NEITHER WHICH WERE FILLED. i was sent his medication and it wasn't what the doctor had perscribed. IF I DID THAT I WOULD GET INTO TROUBLE.
i can't be this broke with kids. what if i need something? what if the free school lunch form doesn't go through for a week? i only have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to offer. i was told to go to the food pantries and OH HAY GUESS WHAT THEY DON'T GIVE OUT THINGS LIKE JUICE BOXES AND SANDWICHES! they give out food that's twelve hours from going bad, shit that gets moldy overnight, food that a starving Ethiopian wouldn't touch.
i've had my son back for a week and i'm already failing miserably.
i'm in such a bad mood.
and just.... i dunno. i suck and i'm horrible because i can't provide for my children, because no one is telling me shit, because my son has tantrums at the drop of a hat, and because i just am.
