Back to 3

I went back to 3 kids on July 1, 2011.  Then on July 15 I started babysitting to find out I would babysit 24/7 with only 36 hours since then.  My kids are loving having their mommy they don't have to share with 3 other kids.  We start school tomorrow with Becca going to High School Mary-Gail will be in 2nd grade in Mrs Richey's class and Cindy starts CD next week at the elementary school in Mrs. Rogers class.  Mary has on the other hand decided to start school with a bad ear infection that causes a hair washing every 12 hours and it doesn't help.

Past 7 months

On October 30 I picked up 3 adorable kids to spend one night with me and go to church on Sunday.  The next afternoon after nap time I was going to take them home and I received a phone call that DSS was coming to my house.  I stayed and waited and they asked me to take the kids in for an investigation and like always I can not say no to helping kids so I agreed to allow them to live with me.  I will not go into great details about.  The first week of November they said it would be 8-12 weeks (well last time I checked you counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and Sunday will be 31 weeks.  Wondering if I misunderstood weeks for months.  We had a birthday in November and the 23 month old turned 2, the next month we had another birthday where the 5 year old turned 6, the next month the 3 year old 4 and the 6 year old turned 7 then in May the once 5 month old turned 1 and the 13 year old turned 14.  With being a single stay at home mom of 6 kids it is expensive I think it is time to go to school and get a job.  Might call DSS and ask them to help pay for the class unless anyone knows how to get continuing education money fast.  I am asked daily how do you do it?  My honest answer is God is helping me a bunch and I don't know how else I am doing it.  Prayer is a wonderful thing.  Let's see how my next few hours, days, weeks, months go as for this summer we will be doing the following if you want to come help out. Monday-Saturday pool 10 am and 7pm (except Wednesdays) Sunday's pool 2-4.  If you want to help text me I am always happy with help.  Please continue to pray for us.
