Extra pressure at work the next few months, in the end it’s a good thing, I’m getting trained as a quality auditor. It’s not my main job and I doubt I will get paid more for it here but it opens the door to another career down the road. So there’s that. And then two months to get my renewal credits with the foster parent deal. It’s overwhelming thinking about doing it together and self study is a bitch. I’m fighting off a cold, and my throat is swollen. Just miserable inside and out right now. Thanks for reading. :)
I hope you feel better soon! Are you a foster parent?
Legally yes. My niece is my foster child for now. We are working on permanent guardianship. Court is July for that.
You are amazing, I mean that. I know you are super busy with work and like all of us here, you have mental health struggles, and you are still helping out a child in need. Being a foster/adoptive parent is truly one of the most selfless things ever. <3
