    Default I have officially lost my mind-4 little girls

    I now have 4 little beautiful dark haired girls living in my home and #5 may be just a month away. Tuesday DYFS called and asked for an emergency placement for 2 sisters 2 1/2 and 3 1/2.
    Now I have 15 mos, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 5 1/2. I felt so bad for these girls, mom is in rehab, they were left with an aunt, who on friday dropped them off at the rehab and left. They have an older sister who I am trying to make room for now because they are miserable without her. They are finally starting to loosen up a bit. They cry a lot and are very close, I think they'll be ok soon-I hope so. I went out and bought a huge amount of hair ties and barrets. I'm glad I bought that mini van. Wish me luck!!

    What a wonderfully kind and wise woman you are, Jerseygirl. You'll have your hands full with those girls but they are so lucky to have you. I wish you well.
