So it's been a while, almost a month since orientation. A few people have asked me if we are still going to become foster parents, and the answer is YES! We're just waiting to hear from DFCS about our background checks. I can't imagine what is taking so long! If they need foster parents so badly, they need to streamline their recruiting process to function more efficiently. Don't you think so? I don't mean slacking on the qualifications. I just mean the process and paperwork and training schedules. I can't even find a phone number to call to ask about the IMPACT training. I will probably just have to go in there one day and get some answers.
If it's one thing I've learned in this process is that the squeaky wheel gets the oil!
In other news, I'm enjoying the classes I'm taking this semester, especially my Perspective on Narrative class! And of course Jetbaby gets smarter everyday! I can't believe that she already tries negotiating dinner, punishments, toys, EVERYTHING! The other day we were taking her to get her favorite nuggets (McD's of course), and she tried to convince us to go to her friend's house instead of dinner. "No nuggets. Kingler's ( what she calls her bff) house now." Um what?! She's so spunky, and I just love her and her sass. Well, sometimes I love her sass... until she thinks she's a princess, and then I have to remind her that Mama is Queen.
Well, there ya have it! Not much to update y'all on. I'm just waiting on the government. (Story of my life!)
