I need to learn to say no !

Honestly, I suck at saying no (hence the 5 kids I guess LOL)

Yesterday placement called me, they had a 6 mos old, not medical, but really medically needy. His fostermom works and he could not go to daycare. Low grade fever, nebulizer treatments every 3-4 hrs, thickened feeds, aspiration risk, etc, etc

Fostermom was in tears, could not miss any more work. To me the choice if I wanted him for respite till after the weekend or just on a daily basis..................

I said no...............till the foster mom called me................I agreed to take him for the afternoon (she had him at her office) I did tell her she needed to figure out the rest of the week and hooked her up with my awesome respiratory therapist ( who can check him and give him treatments at daycare)

Then V's mom called (from her grandma's phone, she knows I don't answer her phone calls anymore)to set up a visit for this week. At grandma's house and if I could pretty please bring the baby, because they are having so many problems with transportation (read no drivers license or car)

So I agreed, just for this week...............I have my reasons.At court it will show that these parents have had all the help and still can not do what they need to do.

I really need to get my behind in gear, laundry is awaiting and just the daily picking up stuff............everywhere !!!

This afternoon the overcap person is coming by. This is because I have a waiver for V, since I am over capacity. Should be quick in and out. Tomorrow the health department for my yearly relicensing. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes they are nuts (checking for lint in the dryer, seriously.........)
