I am getting to do another letter post. I asked Miss Lou Ann to draw one for me. Of course she was gracious to do just that and sent me the letter "P".
I was drawn to her blog when I read her profile. I swear she sounds just like me. Lou Ann says "Maybe we are long lost twins with the same personality ". I tend to agree. Well there is one difference. I have only one child to her two. But that seems to be the only thing. Read for yourself and see:
I am a forty something mother of two great kids...I am a bit of a control freak ... I may forgive but I rarely forget...I will trust you until you give me a reason not to... I am a planner and like to live by a schedule... I am hard working and believe that nothing comes for free... I am moody and sarcastic and sometimes bossy... I'm a hard to get to know at first... I am punctual and tardiness is an irritant... I am honest... I am trustworthy....I am domesticated... I am a bit of a clean and organizing freak... That's about sums up ME!
So I am challenged to write ten things I love that started with the letter "P". Of course I would never follow the rules. So I am going to post 10 things that I love about today. Why today, Friday the 13th? Well I have not said much lately but it is back to court for the TF today. And I am to testify too! So I feel maybe I need to think of all the good things today instead of worry.
Here it goes. I hope I can do this?????
1. Punctual--The Judge here is very punctual. And with that we may not be there for the whole day. It can be quite exhausting.
2. Pretty--The TF mom is very pretty. I admire how well she can do her hair and makeup. I always feel so sloppy in this category.
3. Party--If things go as we hope for there will be a party for sure. We have not seen the babies in a month. Their mom is going crazy because she has not either.
4. Purse--I need to make sure I have some tissues in my purse. My nose always seems to run when I am at the court house.
5. Popular--The TF mom does not have family here at all. My mom and Nessa are joining me to help her feel more popular. She feels so lost sitting there alone when her soon to be ex has family all around him.
6. Portly--Ok my own lil giggle here. But I am amazed how the lawyers and Judge always seem just a bit portly. I think that they like myself enjoy a few too many of the southern dishes.
7. Practical--I am trying to stay very practical. Knowing things may not go the way we hope. So I need to be focused on just doing what is truthful.
8. Prayers--There has been so many prayers said for this whole situation. And I know there will be more said today. Especially from "Grannie Annie" as she has been a great supporter for me.
9. Past--There is a lot of up heave about the past few months. I need to try and not let that effect me.
10. Positive--I am to stay positive for TF mom and the rest of us. I can not wait for this to be settled. But more so for her to be reunited with her 4 adorable children. I greatly miss her mischievous daughter, her peanut of a boy and her monkey twin girls.
Thanks to all of y'all for listening to me and giving me support here. Don't forget my 50 toy give away. Enter and tell others too!. Thanks again to Lou Ann for letting me have my letter "P". Go visit her today.

The Twins and ICPS contacted me last night to see if the kids could all stay here. They did emergency background checks on my mom, DH, CG and myself. And all was approved. Today a worker is to come do a home visit and bring some paperwork. I am not sure when. I am also not sure as to the length of the stay the children will have here. Also the dad's family has placed a protective order against the mom from seeing or being around her children. So currently my family is all that is to be around the children. This is getting more and more messed up for these kids.
Last night we did dinner and baths. Just explaining to the older ones that they were spending the night here. Placed the twins in our room on a spare bed and the older two in the living room right next to it. Today we did morning routine since we have been getting them ready for school here before anyway. Also they spent the Christmas break here too. So life was pretty calm.
Also today I helped CG start packing for her move to the dorms this weekend. We will be converting her bedroom into a sewing room for my mom. This will make a "suite" for my mom at the back of the house. She will have her sewing room, bathroom and bedroom all alone where no one else uses those rooms. Nice huh? I am glad as she needs the space too. We should have the sewing room up and in action by Monday of next week. This is something my mom has wanted for some time. CG is leaving most of her things here but just putting them up. Also she is only taking 2 weeks of clothes with her. She can come home every other weekend and change out clothes. (Letting me do her laundry is a plus for her.)
DH was in a tail spin last night with the turn of events. But he has evened out today and we are working on what we need to prepare for. Also planning on all we need to accomplish this weekend end. He will finally have two days off after working for 26 days straight. Maybe we can get enough done that he can sleep most of Sunday.
In the meantime I am gathering clothes for the children. All I had last night was the clothes they had on. I was able to get 2 to 3 outfits each by going to the mom's house for a little while. I still need to purchase some socks and underwear for them all this evening. And hopefully come up with more warm clothes for the babies. I should be able to get them from the mom's house tonight. Our dear neighbor Nessa has also pitched in with outfits. And she is taking in the TF pets so they will be cared for during this time. We do not know what will happen to the mom or dad now.
Please continue to pray for all these people. I am afraid it will get worse before it gets any better.
A bit of quiet time

Today life seems quiet. We are all waiting to hear of any outcome for our family with the twins. Still do not know how the dad is doing at the hospital. Family will not relay any information to the mom. The mom is arriving now with the 2 yr old twins and the 4 yr old boy and the 6 yr old girl before she goes to work at the nursing home. I am going to start referring to this family as the Twin Family (TF). There is all sorts of stories flying around our lil town as to what has happened. And to speculation as to who is at fault. This is not making it any easier for the mom or kids. We are also worried on the custody issues since dad is hospitalized in unknown condition. His family is reported to be here to try and take the kids with them. TF mom has contacted her lawyer but he is not seeming to be concerned til he knows what the police say about it all. Meanwhile the school is not sure what to do since the dad had full custody and mom only visitation. It is just too much at one time.
Otherwise we are doing the same as before. Watching the kids, taking them to school and back here. Trying to keep things here on the same schedule as before. Make it where the kids are not worried. I am working on keeping the house up. It seems like we have been up and down so much here lately. With TF mom living with us for a month. She now has a rental. Just get her moved and this happens. CG is getting ready to leave for a new semester. She currently has one of her BFF here visiting for a week. It feels like a revolving door. LOL Dear Nessa across the street says for a calm house we sure do have a lot going on here.
But for now, the babies are sleeping. The TF kids are watching Blue's Clues. I am making coffee for me and hot tea for my mom. Life is not to loud. And we have a lil time for breakfast before we start getting kids off to school. Oh for these quiet times.
