It has been a whirlwind of events going on in our house. I have not had a chance to get in any extras at all!! We are not done with our bathroom remodel and I feel like I am living in a construction zone sometimes. We are close though and I can not wait to show you all the finished product! We met two of the most adorable boys who will be moving into our home soon and if all goes well will join our eternal family after a six month required time of living here. The state wants to make sure they have found the right fit. It means we will have to amend our license. Buy some new furniture and go through another adjustment period. We are really looking forward to it though! Lightning and Big B did really good together. That is just what we were looking for. Big B was calling him "brother" in no time. He was quite the smooth talker and was asking to be a part of our family before he left. It is so heartbreaking to know they have nobody and that Big B is so painfully aware of that. We had Smileys Bio Brother temporarily in our care and he was able to return home yesterday afternoon after a very emotional and long meeting. I feel like I have barely had a chance to breathe. It feels weird to be down to only 3 at home during the day for just a couple of days. This is the first day I have had a chance to really relax and that will be short lived . I have two of my more difficult waxing clients this week and a court hearing on Wednesday and Sissy's next eval on Friday and then Smiley comes back for the weekend and I think next week will be relatively calm YEAH!!!!! I do have a wonderful husband who took two days off this week to be my babysitter and save me the stress of having to chase kids everywhere to get these much needed meetings, court, and evaluations behind us. THANK YOU GL!!!!
So happy to see that blogger has fixed spell check!!!!

I am so proud of you that you open your heart up to so many children that need your love. You and your husband have made such a wonderful home for them to feel safe and loved!
Wow, you are truly amazing! Sometime we need to talk about the whole foster and adoption thing. I think about doing it from time to time. I would love to have another child, and think that's about the only way I'm going to have get one. But don't know if I have what it takes. I really admire you and Ashley.
