sign me up!

 

Wayne, and I went to our local foster parent association meeting tonight.  It was great to meet other local foster parents.  The topic tonight was utilizing community resources, I got a lot of helpful information regarding what programs are out there for foster children.

I also found out that they have an old foster care clothing closet that hasn't been touched in over a year.  So I signed Wayne, and myself along with another couple to clean out, and collect donations to get the closet up, and running again.

So my new title is the clothing closet coordinator or CCC, which ever you prefer!

So if your local and have anything you wish to donate for children birth-18 years old, give me a call!

Foster care room

We have one crib in the room just now which turns into a toddler bed. We have another in the attic incase we get two young children. A little table for crafting, reading books, or having fun.

A little over the top with toys, I know.

A decorative shelf to store keep sakes.

A chair for reading books, dresser. The clock is off center, I couldn't get my hubby to move it lol.

Now we just need some wall decor, and a child!!

It's January 5th

 

and it supposed to be 80 degrees! I am sporting capris, and flip flops.  We are having an outdoor photo shoot at work today, for my bosses company.  Should be a fun sweaty filled day.

Only three more days until my sweet baby girls angel day.  The days leading up to her anniversary are by far much worse than the actual day.  If it a nice night I think Wayne, and I will he a pick nick on the hill over looking the lake on the plantation.  We will let balloons go for Teagyn also.

The last supper

 

Wayne and I are on our way out the door for our last meal.  Tomorrow start the big weight loss.  I wonder who the biggest looser is gonna be.  Stay tuned..

Hot mess

 

My sister emailed me this picture of my Nephew Alex. And no he was not going swimming..

Busy busy busy..

 

Yesterday my friend Julie and I cared for TWELVE children under the age of SEVEN from 8:30am until 6:30pm. There ages where: 14 mo, 15mo, 2 1/2 yrs, 3,3,3,4,5,5,7,7. My hat is off to those of you who have large families I am not sure I could do that all day everyday.

Wayne is busy outside scraping, and painting our house. He's a protectionist when it comes to home repair so he will be out there for weeks! 

I am taking a break from organizing every closet/drawer in the house.  I think my Mum  "the clean queen" has taken over my body as my mind is set in clean/organize mode.

My next chore is to clean attic..Its a disaster zone up there.

Resolutions

 

Instead of the traditional  New Years resolution, I am trying something new that I read about on Torina's blog, monthly resolutions. For the month of January I hope to:

 

• Kick start weight loss, and a newer healthy way of eating.

 

• run 3-5 days a week before work on my treadmill

 

• declutter, and become more organized.

 

What are your New Years resolutions?  What do you wish to accomplish in the new year?
