We're on the emergency call list so late calls don't really surprise me too much. Looks like we're getting 2 girls (ages 1 and 2) in the next hour. We got permission to be over our limit (age and kid number wise) as well as to let them both sleep in playpens for the weekend. Tuesday they should be moved to a home but I don't know a thing about them not even their names. The on call worker was both DLP's and Giggles' and she knows NOTHING about it. Its kinda crazy but I'm excited. :)

Girl you are crazy, nutso, coo-coo for Cocoa puffs. ;-)You are going to have a CRAZY and fun weekend. Please tell me DH is home to help you? How do you manage to do stand-by for littles? Do you keep several different sized car seats handy? And do you drive like a huge SUV or do you have a van? I can't do it now, but i thought about some day down the road opening to weekend only emer care. I'd have to investigate it more, like how often do they NOT leave on Monday, but something I thought about.

I have a 15 passenger van that we affectionately call our bus. Our sw will be leaving the girls' carseats so nothing to worry about there. They won't be leaving Monday, going to wait till Tuesday because Monday is a holiday. 3 heads of hair to get ready for church on Sunday. Makes me glad its my week to be in the nursery.

Everyone is asleep. :) Had to bathe and un mat the older ones hair. SW didn't even know their names and had no idea how old they were. Thanks to one medical card we were able to find out the sw was telling us the wrong name for the child. Also we at least know the age of the younger one :)

Good Luck! hope things go smoothly. I've had two extras for an extended weekend on two occasions and it is exhausting and overwhelming but also exciting and fun and I'd do it again. Hope you all enjoy your time together and that the little ones don't have an overly hard time adjusting. My first sibling set did pretty well but my second set sobbed practically non stop :( Hope yours have a nice fun weekend with you!

Many times when babies come in for neglect they have spent much of their lives being cared for by multiple people, getting passed off so bm can go party. Which makes them not attach properly to anyone. Nugget was almost 3 when he came. Definitely old enough to be asking for mom. But he didn't. It's sad.

And yes the Hubs is home and has Monday off. Although he is planning to take our older boy shooting on Monday with some friends from work. They got tanerite (spelling?) to play with so they're excited.
