Okay, so, here's the scoop. I have to go through 5 weeks of parenting classes(I could use those anyway probably 
) I have to be certified as a foster parent FIRST, CPR certification etc. which is a cakewalk, because I have already done that 3 times in the past, I could likely do it blindfolded and upside down, so not worried about that. THEN after the classes are completed by myself and hubster, they will call me to do a home study. I have to have copies of everything I have ever done, being born, getting married, gettting divorced, getting married again, etc. etc. on both of us. Have to go through fingerprinting and background checks, and THEN the kids will likely be here right. before. Christmas
I need to get them some clothes, another set of bunk beds for the girls room, make sure we have things for them to play with that are age appropriate, so a few toys would be great, maybe build a swingset or playhouse in the front yard, and PRAY for merciful God to help me get to know these kids and gain their trust and be a good mom to them. I remember how difficult that was step parenting DD20, because she was 10 when her dad and I married. These kids are DS1 just turned 10, DD3 will be 9 next month, and DS2 will be 7 in a few days I think... I think I got that right
It's gonna be hard remembering 3 more birthdays! And NAMES! Then there is DD2 who will be 15 in 5 more months who wants a driving permit
And I have lost the mother and granmothers phone numbers now...have to find that little note I wrote myself that had birthdays, SS#'s and full legal names along with those numbers
I'm gonna be busy

QA I have come to the conclusion I am either doing something right, or this is punishment for something I didn't do right
I have to admit I am SOOOOOO feeling incapable and overwhelmed right now! When I get some of these loose ends tied up, that should ease a bit, but just WOW....deeeeeeeep breaths lol!
