That's right, after nearly 3 months of going nonstop, this Mommy & Daddy get a night off. Little Buddy is headed to his former foster Mommy's house to spend the night (they have a really good, healthy relationship). Gramsie and GramPapa are coming over this evening and watching SweetPea for a few hours. DH and I are going to go on a double date with AuntieMoo & Uncle Kiwi (my SIL and BIL) for a lovely dinner.
Sweet relief.
Ever kicked around the idea of becoming a foster or fost/adopt home? Did you know that you can become a respite care provider and "get your feet wet" to see how it all works (without making the full blown commitment)? Us foster families so appreciate being able to have a few hours (or overnight) to recover and regroup. It keeps us healthy and, in turn, is great for our kiddos, as well.

Thanks for this idea. In the future, being a foster home is something that I really want to explore. But it does seem overwhelming to commit to. And my husband has even more reservations. But this is a great option to consider as a feet wetting opportunity. I'll keep it in mind.
Amen, Sister! We so need a break. Respite care is so hard to find. Thanks for the post!
I'm moving our website this week to http://foster2forever.com
Any pointers?
I did not know that. That's pretty great. May be something I need to look into in the future. :-)
You always share the best information.
