Back from underground - sorta
So I realize that I have posted or even logged in, in a wicked long time - so long, in fact, that when I went to sign in, I wasn't exactly sure what my password was, but I managed. Taz was the straw, if you will, that finished the hand-basket - as in hell in a hand-basket. He was, inexplicably, more intensive than any child I've encountered before ( Read more... ) -
Not exactly a meeting of the minds.
So tonight I had a doctors appt. at 6pm. Since K was less than pleased about the un-timeliness of this (6:30 is dinnertime, which would leave her making dinner and she hates cooking), I decided I would make dinner for her and the boys (yes, we have two again. Add Taz - age 4 - to Cookie). So Dinner was all set at ten to six and I walked out ( Read more... ) -
Back to one.
Storm was reunified with her mother this morning. While we are very much relieved to have the relative peace and calm of only one two year old in the house, we are also not necessarily pleased that she is going back to her mom. This has been about the hardest month since we've begun foster parenting. Of course when Sweetie left we were ( Read more... ) -
Well, that was a short honeymoon.
Today was a bit more rough around the edges than yesterday. K and I still need to work out the morning routine. This said after I was 20 minutes late and had to walk into a meeting (so that I could at least get the last 10 minutes) unprepared and without even a pen. It started in the night, really. Neither child slept well, which resulted in my ( Read more... ) -
Half-way through day two.
We had planned on having the kids go to daycare today - thank goodness Storm (new one's nick name because she rolled in at the same time the storm did) had it already set up. The weather has been a bit much. K was out for an hour and a half this morning just trying to get the driveway clear enough to get out. I called out because it just wasn't ( Read more... ) -
That would be TWO 2 year olds.
We are nuts. Completely crazy. Lost our flippin' head, nuts.
We accepted another placement today.
8 days older than Cookie.
Day one went well.
Will try to keep you posted. -
So he'll be staying - maybe.
Cookie is starting to get settled in here. He is not so weepy and most of the time he just a bowl full of chuckles. He still proclaims about his shoes upon waking, followed by inquiring whether there will be bananas (Nana?) or apples (Ap?) for breakfast, cracks up hysterically and who knows what, and then gets more excited than ever about going ( Read more... ) -

Two years and three months of pure boy - except when he excitedly grabs at the pink fairy dress at the store... hmmm. The daycare said he's 90% potty trained. We have seen no evidence of this. We sit him on the pot, but nothing happens. He goes without giving any warning. I've now changes so many wet and/or messy pull-ups that we just bought a ( Read more... ) -
A boy. Wait, a boy!?
So we've got a new child in the house. It's a boy. A boy! Now I was all well and good with this, until he actually got here. I had thought that we had been fairly gender-neutral in our parenting of Peanut. But apparently not. First of all she definately had a pink fetish. So this boy, who is 2, and fits into some of Peanut's just outgrown ( Read more... )
