It has been such a beautiful sunny day, we were able to get out and enjoy it some when my oldest daughter called and asked us to meet them for lunch. My dh took one of our school age kids to the Doc. today and our daughter called while he was there. I had her call her Dad to ask if he wanted to go and he called me to say be ready when he got home in 15 min. He was surprised when he came in, that I did not have 6 kids fully dressed, the diaper bag packed with bottles made, diapers changed on four of them, myself dressed and make-up on, the phone on call forwarding and coats on. "Really"? That is all I have to say. So of course we were a little late, but it all worked out.
It was kinda of a going away party for our young one who left us today. It is hard for the other 4 kids to see her go (they lived together and came into foster care together). But even more than that, I think is the question in their minds, "why aren't they going home"? So everything is a little emotional for them right now. They are sad, very sad. The 6 yr. old is saying it isn't fair, that the little one gets to go home and she is crying. The oldest is in her room, I don't think she wants us to see her tears. I'm very happy that the little one is back with her family but it is so hard to see these children suffer because they lost a little cousin, that had been with them since the day she was born. She couldn't have been more of a sister to them.
So what are we to do? Well making choc. chip cookies seems like a good idea, so I put the oldest to baking (the scoop and bake from Sam's Club) and the others are watching and drooling. I think I will send out dh to buy pizza. It's a band aid at best, but soon it will be bed time and tomorrow is a new day.
