Hit the road jack..

 

This post is going to be short, I am online using some random person Internet connection.. 

The boy's and I headed to the beach today just after two today. We made it here in five hours.. Not bad timing  considering I was heading south instead of north.

We had a few laughs along the way.

One of the towns we passed through is called Waycross.  Parker said "Does that  mean we are way across the other side form our house"

The baby was having melt down about 3 hours into the ride, I turned on some music with a heavy beat, that kept in entertained for a good 30 minutes!

Parker burped after sucking down a juice box, and Willie B (who's is 18 months old) said cuse yoo (excuse you) too cute.

My hubby, two sisters, and their little chicks will be heading my way sometime tomorrow. 

I hope the boys sleep in until at least 9am. After all we're at the beach..

classes

 

At our monthly foster care meeting we discussed online training classes for foster parents.  The best one seemed to be Foster Parent college.  For eight dollars you can take a 2 hour class on various subjects from RAD to ADHD, for caring for children with special needs.

The classes are CASA certified, and most agencies accept the certificate which is good for two training hours!

You don't have to sit at your computer for two hours straight,  You can long in and out. You have 30 day to finish the class.

Happy learning..

Happy Birthday Mum

 

Another birthday is passing by without you near.  Its hard to understand why.  Please know that not a day goes by that I do not think of you, or speak your name.  You are one in a million.

 

Happy Birthday Mum.  It's sure to be the best one yet, Though you left me here.  Did you Think I'd forget?

Your cake this year, will surely be, a beauty to see. Wish the icing made of Silver and the candles made of gold.

Yes your birthday in Heaven is a grad affair. And I know you'll look so lovely with a halo in your hair.

The angels will come from everywhere to sign your birthday song. And I know they'll be so happy that you've joined them In God's happy home.

No I can't send you a card of a gift this year. So I"ll just spend a special prayer, to that wonderful Mum of mine way up there.

Happy Birthday Mum

Lots of love

Karen

Poem

 

With love from your foster family

Long Before we realized, long before we ever knew, God Prepared a special place within our hears for you.

We welcome you with open arms into our family. We want you to feel safe, and warm and pray that you will see..

Our home can be a resting place where hope and healing grow.  Where caring friends surround you, and you will come to know-

God had a special purpose when He wove our paths together, and no matter where you life may lead You'll stay in our heats forever.

Thinking of you..

 

Today while laying in bed, I was thinking of my sweet girl Teagyn.  The bond that Teagyn, and I shared was unlike anything I have experienced before.  She was perfect in every way.  Not once did she talk back, throw food, or hit someone out of anger.  Her sole was pure, and she was as sweet as can be.

She was never able to tell me she loved,me or give me a hug.  But I knew from those big brown eyes, that she knew how much she meant to me.  I could see love in her eyes, and happiness all over her face.

I loved to hold Teagyn for hours on end.  To tell her stories, and rub our noses together.

I worry I will forget some of the times we spent together. But it has been four years, and when I close my eyes, I can smell her sweet smell, and see her lovely face.

I love you Teagyn

nothing to say

 

I am in a blogging rut, nothing to say nothing to blog about.  Life is boring at the moment.  It has been raining non-stop for a week, and its starting to become depressing.

I am still following weight watchers, and am down 32.5 lbs!! 

We are heading out of town next week, to visit family.  I am excited to see my sisters.

No foster placement yet.  We're still waiting for the phone to ring..

Hope all is well with everyone else.

Rain rain go away..
