November 1st. Something less than 60 days until Christmas. Only 26 school days until Christmas. WHOA! Where has the time gone?
Halloween was okay - not too exciting, but it really never is around here. C wore a mask that had a little heart attached with tubing that he hid under his sweatshirt that he could squeeze and it looked like his face was bleeding. He thought it was the coolest thing ever. Rhino was a Clone Trooper and BDiddy a duck - "cuck- cuck" he kept saying. Along with "Tit Ter Teet" and profuse "TAINT TOO!" s. LOL He is adorabe, and so funny. The realization that I HAVE to get the child's hair cut was made clear to me though, when EVERYONE asked if the boys' little SISTER would like some candy too. UGH! He is NOT a girl. FatSmellyMan just shook his head, smiled sadly, and said he didn't know how to tell me earlier but that he agreed....time for a haircut. Sadness.
C isn't healing as well as we all thought he would, or he is really milking it. I think he really doesn't feel right -he opted out of his class party yesterday and asked to stay home and sleep - WHAT?! He isn't really eating. Or drinking. Or talking.... I think he was dehydrated yesterday - I forced him to drink about 32 ounces of water and he really perked up. Enough so to go to the Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot, but before we got all the way through all 10 cars that were there, he was asking to go back home. I feel badly for him, but he has said he feels MUCH better today and he actually has eaten eggs and stuff this morning.
BIG GAME today! GO CATS! They are playing KU in Lawrence at 11:30. How funny is it that when they are playing 20 miles from us, we do not go - but trek 100 miles West for their home games? We are strange. Actually, we were planning on going today, but life happened.
Speaking of life...it seems to be a no-go on the baby girl mentioned before. Baby Mama isn't returning phone calls and it is rumored that Baby Daddy is back in the picture. The whole situation has made us really question if we are even emotionally ready to handle being a licensed home. This has been pretty draining on us both and there isn't even a child placed here yet... While fostering and adoption is something we truly want to do - it may just be bad timing right now.
