Our licensing worker came for our 6 month visit yesterday. She hinted ever so slightly about how much she'd like to fill our home. No joke within 10 minutes I got a call from a an investigator about an emergency placement of a 14 year old girl. I felt bad that I had to say no. She must have been having a rough day because she thanked me for at least answering the phone. Then I got a call at the baseball game we went to. Those calls always make me nervous. A few beers in and I'm afraid I sound like an irresponsible parent. Plus I said no to a child in need because I'm at a baseball game.
I can't save them all though. And I need to remember that. I also have to remember that we have a plan to improve our situation so that we can dig in and help the next group of kids who will live with us.
We see the Fab Four today. We have plans to go to a bounce house place but I haven't confirmed the time with Mom. LM's phone is shut off. And so far my Facebook message has gone unanswered. It wouldn't be a big deal except my parents and brother were planning on coming too. Fingers Crossed she gets my message.
