5:30 am, Tiny toddles into our bedroom and asks for a hug. Seth and I peel our eyes open.
6:00 am, Dude man starts fussing in his crib. Baths, getting kids dressed, breakfast follow.
7:30 am, Seth takes the kids to daycare. Forgets Tiny’s glasses and mask.
8:30 am, our amazing daycare provider calls to let us know we forgot glasses for Tiny. I try to get work done.
9:50 am, I drive to daycare to get Dude and take him downtown (1/2 hour drive each way) for a visit with his Mommy and then a visit with his Daddy. His caseworker tells me she wishes all foster parents were so accommodating about transporting kids for visits. We chat about how Dude is doing.
10:20 am, Seth drives Tiny’s glasses to the school.
11:00 am, I get home from dropping Dude off. I do some work.
12:30 pm Dude gets dropped back off by the county transporter at home. I take him back to daycare.
1:30 pm Seth picks Tiny up at school.
2:00 pm County transporter picks up Tiny to take her an hour west for her visit with her Mommy.
3:00 pm I have virtual court for one of my cases.
3:35 pm Tiny’s caseworker calls to tell us Tiny’s Mommy was an hour and a half late for the visit and the transporter is not happy. Oh boy. This doesn’t bode well for getting the County to drive Tiny to future visits.
4:00 pm we rush to daycare to get Dude, then drive an hour west to get Tiny.
5:15 pm grab Tiny and chat with her Mommy, then stop for fast food dinner
5:40 pm start driving an hour and a half east to get Kiddo at her house
7:00 pm start playing soothing sleep music in the car in hopes it knocks overtired Dude out.
7:40 pm finally get Kiddo in the car
8:15 pm hopefully we’ll be home and putting kids in beds.
And today was a luxurious Friday because Seth happened to have the day off, and so we could spend some time together we both went for the long drive this evening. Every other Friday when Tiny has a visit I typically get to do the circuit by myself.
I’m ready to drop. And don’t want to see the inside of my car again for a week.
