Disappointments and stress

These last weeks since I last posted have been busy and extremely stressful. The last payment for property taxes were due on 7/30/10 so we had to come up with $ 615.00 which we managed to do. Now we are working with the city to have to amount automatically withdrawn by them from a special bank account on specific dates. That won't start until next January. The case that I am most with has had a few new problems. One night I was asked not to come because they were having problems with the little ones trach and wanted the case manager there instead. Well I said that was fine. She has been with this case since the child was 6 months old and I have only been with them for a couple months. So that weeks schedule got shifted around. Then the 24 th of July the clients mom brought home twin girls. More things to be aware of and do. But I must say I love it. This is my stress.

However things are not going well with my first case. The parents all of a sudden have taken me off the schedule. We have spent this month playing e-mail and phone tag. I have just about come to the end of my rope. I don't like vague answers to my questions. I appreciate direct answers. The whole situation has been handled so badly that I don't know if I could go back and work there. Which tears my heart because I love and adore both those kids and thought I'd be taking care of them forever but I guess not. So that was my major dissappointment .

My great nephews continue to provide entertainment. Andre is growing and we are starting him on rice cereal. Which according to mom isn't going too well. And we are looking at high chairs. The next move is to get one we can all operate.

Well thats all for this time.
