Other People's Kids

Holding Pattern

I haven't been writing anything the last week because there's nothing really to write. One of our references decided (after having the forms in their hands for a week) that for unknown reasons, they don't want to be a reference. So we had to get a new reference...not a problem, but we do wish we'd known this earlier. So we had PATH send out two new forms to two different new references, telling them to use whichever one comes in first so we can get this show on the road.

Speaking of PATH, we hadn't heard anything on the fire inspection, and it's our understanding that the inspection and the references are the only things left in our way. So The Wife called yesterday, only to discover that NOBODY was in the office. That's a neat trick...I'm going to have to bounce that off my boss and see if we can't do that at OUR office on Fridays. Heh.

Anyway, we'll try to get some word on where we're at, and you'll know as soon as I do, Faithful Reader.

Meanwhile, Mom tells me this morning that there was a major meth bust in the next county, leaving 15 or more kids needing foster homes...I'm beginning to understand why they are constantly crying so desperately for foster homes. It's clearly because they don't see the people raising their hands, screaming and stamping up and down and volunteering as loudly and obnoxiously as possible.

Maybe this will help: WE'RE RIGHT HERE!!!! HEY!!!! YEAH, YOU, SOCIAL WORKERS!!! COPS!!! COUNTY!!! STATE!!! WE'RE TALKING TO ALL OF YOU!!! WE'RE READY!! SEND....THEM...OVER...HERE!!!!
