I got a wake up call from DCS placement yesterday morning. Ugh. These decisions are hard! We’re on hold status so they must be desperate. It’s good to make decisions and set boundaries when you have a sound mind and not in the heat of the moment when a worker is describing a specific kid(s) and situation and your heart is breaking. I think we’re going to stick with our original decision to not accept any new placements until the beginning of November. (Previous kids or bio fam would be an exception.) Heart is still broken either way.

I never did manage to get a blog post written for yesterday. I have two half written…one about how much Buzz has grown and changed over the past 3 months and another one about my relationship with his mom through this experience…and I never could bring myself to finish either one. So much emotion swirling around and I’m just not ready to share it yet.

Last night on our maybe last night with Buzz, we got takeout from Calypso Cafe, went out to ice cream at Jeni’s with Grandma and Grandpa, played with bikes and bubbles in the driveway and then had a glow-in-the-dark bath before bed. It was a fun night and I didn’t get teary this time. (Last time I thought it might be his last night with us I started reading him one of my favorite books Sleep, Baby, Sleep at bedtime and I started crying.)
