It's been a difficult week. I'm still in flare, but I'm not going to dwell on that. My foster daughter went home on Monday, which was also difficult. I've a number of self-imposed deadlines for my writing from here until Christmas, and I've - crazily - taken on a couple of new projects work wise. I'll talk about them in October.
My biggest news is that I'm going to have a new foster placement! He's an infant with high medical needs, and we'll have him for six months. It's very exciting (if a bit daunting) and I can't wait to meet him.
I went to see the new Jane Eyre film on Thursday, which was so amazing it deserves its own blog post. Which it will get tomorrow.
Have a great weekend everyone! :)
Sounds like you've got a challenging - and exciting - couple of months coming up!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
You've got a busy few months ahead of you!! I hope you feel better soon, and enjoy having the baby around!
ReplyDeleteI loved the new Jane Eyre movie!!! I hope you get to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your next foster child!
ReplyDeleteI also always think that life involves a lot of juggling. Not necessarily a bad thing. I always prefer juggling to balance. :-)
Hope things work out well with your new foster child. I work as a nanny and always find it hard when I have to move on (family moving away, mother going on maternity leave etc). So I do feel for you with your fostered girl going home - good for her, but not the easiest thing for you.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your post on the Jane Eyre movie - it is one I hope to go and see!

Oh man you have so much going on! I wouldn't blame you one bit if you didn't get any writing done!
ReplyDeletehow awesome a 6 month placement! You and your husband will do wonderful! Think of all the practice you had with all your brothers and sisters. I haven't seen the new Jane eyre yet. I meant too, but I just didn't get to it. I think life gets busy every time we blink.

I know nothing about that juggling thing. Nothing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your imminent addition! I love babies, and how wonderful for you to provide foster care for so many children!
Have a great week!
Aw, I know what you mean! Good luck with the juggling. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the little guy! That's very exciting. It will be quite a bit of juggling, but I am sure that you can do it. :)
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling--trying to juggle life. I saw Jane Eyre too! Still like the book better than the movie, but I still thought the movie was pretty decent. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Christine!
ReplyDeleteAs if your life weren't already busy enough, I granted you the Liebster Award on my site:

I think everyone would understand if you didn't have time to pass it on, but you deserve it anyway :)
Good luck with the juggling. I do it too and it's hard. (And just to juggle something else, I gave you an award on my blog: http://aliciagregoire.blogspot.com/2011/09/now-im-feeling-linkified.html)
ReplyDeleteHope things are going well with your foster daughter! It takes a person with a huge heart to be selfless enough to foster children.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your juggling, hope all goes well!
You're all so lovely and understanding of my flakiness! Thank you :)
