I'm sorry for misunderstanding your earlier message .. thats what I get for reading fast and getting older.
Before I know you did say that you were waiting for D to leave before taking another placement .. is this a foster placement or possible adoption?
I know what you mean about last minute Xmas shopping .. my family laughs at me because I shop all year for Xmas .. and this year I have gone one step further and even wrapped what I have already bought.
We are not sure if our little ones will be here at Christmas or not .. but I have bought presents for them anyway and will be making their Christmas stockings within the next few weeks I hope. Its become a tradition for us to decorate felt stockings with each of our little ones with their name on it . I try and send them with the little ones when they leave but sometimes they are not wanted so we keep them and remember the fun we had making them.
Thanks for the other web site .. will try and check it out soon.
Hugs, Marie
