Mood : indescribable

Goodness I am already yawning today!! Well I was up with dad at 2:30 this morning. He still is not able to sleep well with his back the way it is. I am hoping they can perhaps help to get him a hospital type bed so he can adjust the head for comfort and be able to sleep. I think his doctor has to write a script for it. I am going to check into that in a bit. He is off to get his shot..

I had my second interview last night. It went well for them, as they would like to bring their kids here. I on the other hand need to take the day to think about it. The baby is just great and content, very laid back, but his 2yr old brother, WOW!! He would definitely give me a run for a bit. I mean he was even crawing behind my couch and love seat to get my kitties!! Turning the lights on and off, not listening to his parents at all. Grandma came with them. She tried to assure me he isn’t like that when his parents are not there. She lives a few streets over so the location would be perfect for them. The current child care for the kids is a family member on dad’s side who doesn’t pay attention or scold her own kid when he does things like pinching and running the 2yr old with is 4×4 or when the dog bit her son she didn’t scold or yell at the dog. Grandma and mom said they noticed a huge change since he started going there! Nap time could be a challenge, I think he would be my couch buddy where he lays on the couch and I would sit on the other end till he would fall asleep.

I feel for the parents as she also feels she needs to give this other a notice, being its a member of his family. Personally if that was my kid they would not be there now but that is just me. So do I take on this challenge? Would things be different once he adjusted to our schedule and rules?

I left myself an “out” as of sorts as I said I had another family I was meeting with today! I do have another mom considering me but she would not need me until July as her baby is due soon. Do I put the ad back in one more weekend? My husband and daughter were debating and I Love how they were saying WE this and WE that, hello I am the one home, this would me MY job so what is with this WE? You think when he is home he helps?? Hell no! So I got disgusted and went to bed and he was pissy because I didn’t want to talk about it. I said I think you all think the final decision is yours and its not. It’s mine. But yes they were saying well this and well that to debate the factors in MY taking the kids on. That doesnt’ exactly help!!!

This is the hardest part in my taking on kids. I feel I have to follow thru with all parties even the mom who wants to meet with me who is not due until July. I mean who is to say I say ok and take kids on and someone calls and changes their mind and I already told others the spots have been filled you know what I mean??

So still as of this morning I am undecided.
