Last night went amazing at the presentation I did for the graduating class of foster parents. I found a volunteer who held Moose while I discussed the 7 blessings we've loved on for the past 2 years. As Moose and I were leaving a woman followed me out into the hallway to talk. She used to be a Social Worker. Now she's about to be a Foster Parent. She wanted to thank me. She could tell I love "my" babies and wanted to thank me for that. What?! OF COURSE I love Moose and my previous babies. How sad is that that I get "thanked" for caring about the foster babies in my care. :(
Today Moose had a visit with biomom scheduled. Visitation Worker was supposed to be over 9:20-9:30. 9:45 rolls around - She is supposed to have 15 minute grace period - and I called and left a message on her voicemail. 10:15 guess who comes strolling up to my front door? No apologies, no nothing. I was floored. A girlfriend had shown up a few minutes earlier and since no call, no show - we were about ready to leave. I asked if Biomom knew the visit's new time. Yes, she had been called. Ummm - ever think about informing me of the change in plans I thought but didn't ask. Anyways, I talked to worker about timing and what time she'd be back.
My girlfriend and I went out to lunch and were shopping at Family Christian Bookstore when my cell rang. It's Visitation Worker. "I'm in front of your house." SAY WHAT???!!!! Biomom couldn't stay past 12. Did you think about calling me? Letting me know??? (of course I fumed in my head - I didn't say anything out loud.) So, my friend and I left and zipped home as fast as we could.
I asked Visitation Worker to - in the future - please call me when plans get changed.
Goodness gracious.
Lucky me - Moose has another visit tomorrow - I get to deal w/Visitation Worker AGAIN!!! ugh
