I also work from home so it makes my schedule a little more flexible. I try to spread out appointments and meeting so that I don't overwhelm any of us. There are days when I feel like all we do it run (Wednesday is visitation days around here so I'm constantly running between homes and offices dropping off one baby or the other). I have a huge calandar that I write everything on and have a binder for each child that holds all of my documents and such and they have helped me tremendously! My house isn't as clean as it used to be and I often have to really think about how long it's been since I've showered or eaten but I have two happy, healthy babies so the house will keep!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626783604298225075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741018068870574199.post-66244134123805320652015-01-26T22:40:24.643-06:002015-01-26T22:40:24.643-06:00Thanks, Malinn!

I was approved less than 24 hours before my first placement in October, a 10 week old baby boy and four weeks later I recieved my second placement a 10 day old baby girl. Its been an amazing few months of ups and downs, sleepless nights and mixed emotions but I wouldn't trade a single day with them!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626783604298225075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741018068870574199.post-45425829665032683802015-01-26T09:43:00.632-06:002015-01-26T09:43:00.632-06:00Such a beautiful prayer.
