Well, all of the paperwork has been sent to the attorney. He said that everything should be completed within one month...and I hope he knows what he is talking about. DFACS is still on us about respite, and I have four caseworkers calling me now. I can't take in everyone's kids...LOL! Of course, my caseworker gets dibs on me because she has always been there for me (since she started about a month and a half ago..HaHa).
Bunter absolutely amazed me yesterday! For the first time in three months, his teacher said he had a "wonderful" day. They went on a field trip, and sang at a huge convention. Of course Bunter behaved, but only because they satisfied his passion in life.....SINGING! The boy sings at when he wakes up, sings while he is brushing his teeth, sings at the table, sings at school, sings while watching movies, sings in the bath, sings to put himself to sleep...and he even sings while he is sleeping!!! He wants to learn how to play the guitar, he wants to take singing lessons, and he wants to take dance lessons.....and he is only 4! This is going to be one expensive kid!!!! Hopefully, he will grow up and become the next American Idol...and pay for my retirement home! HAHAAA!
Bear is on track at school. She continues to do better with academics, but I wish she could learn better social skills. She has no boundaries. She will jump on a complete stranger and rub all over them like she has known them forever. She even tells them she loves them! That can not be a normal part of development. She says she has a boyfriend at school, but she doesn't know his name. I informed her that she can not date until she is out of college, and at least 30 years old....:) She is so grown up for her age, and she tries to think like an adult. She has already decided which car she wants when she turns 16. She wants a yellow bug!! I hate those things, but she loves them (probably only because I hate them)! We made it through another day with only a few minor meltdowns. She started thismorning, but I am still hiding in my room. I am letting my husband deal with the drama until he leaves for work. She always gets worse when her brothers come to visit, and they are here for the weekend. We get them every other weekend. One is ten and one is seven. They are pretty good boys, but they to have problems that have arisen from being in foster care. Now, they live with their biological grandfather. They are the only three that we still let associate with Our two.
The biological mother of our two has a severe history of mood disorder, bipolar, and drug abuse. She has been in and out of jail. She served quite a bit of time for forgery. The lady has some serious problems.
The biological father is bipolar, and he has several drug addictions. Jail is home sweet home for him. He gets out for a while, but then he finds a way to return. Assault, breaking and entering, burglary...you name it, he's tried it.
Well, enough for now. I have to get dressed and haul these children all over town...UUUGGHHHH! I would rather hold myself hostage for the rest of the day. I am quite content in my room thank you!
