So we got asked to do respite care for a 5 month old baby for 3 days. Didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, but now that she’s here I can see that saying yes was a HUGE mistake. I love babies, I mean really love baby time and all, but this one is really not a good match with our home. She’s crabby and has the HIGHEST pitched cry/scream that I have ever heard. I had asked about anything like this before taking the placement and was told she rarely did it, but now that she’s here she’s been doing this for 20 minutes out of every hour and it’s driving me mad. So, this is the first time I’ve called and said, “I’m done, when can she be moved?” Anyhow, this has put us all over the edge, we’re done with taking in extra babies for awhile (we’ve told them we would only take a short term newborn at this point). I’m all for foster parenting, but not at the expense of my family’s sanity.

Levi keeps seeing the school buses go by and can’t wait to go to school. He starts next Tuesday and he couldn’t be more excited. It’ll be a nice break, too, with the big kids in preschool and only the babies to play with for a couple of hours. I’m sure the nap schedule and all will have to be adjusted but it’ll all work itself out.

Almost done pricing things for the consignment sale…we have 6 bins of clothes and all the shoes to sell. Hope we get some money from all of it! I may be busy on Ebay after this sale…arrgh!
