First thing this morning I was already watching the kids. Mr. John always makes sure I am up before he leaves for work, and I make sure he dose not leave anything behind. Grace went to daycare today because it would make easier to babysit plus it dose not cost my foster parents money to send her. Mr. John did not even get to finish strapping Grace in the car set when the guy across the street came over to tell mr. John how much his guy would cost to fix my car. I had came outside to give mr. John Grace's bottles. It was a very good start to my day to know my car would be picked up this afternoon. Most of the day the kids were glued to the tv, which is good and bad at the same time. After lunch, I urged them to get out of the house and took them next door to swim for awhile. Taking the opportunity without many eyes watching me, I decided to throw the younger one in the deep end. She knows how to swim but lately she has not even want to get in the pool. I wanted her to trust the water again so she can have fun with the rest of us. I tried a week before to calmly taking her out and showing her that she can trust that nothing will happen to her, but it did not help she just screamed. Just throwing her made her have to swim and it seemed to help. The other kids did not think it was nice of me so they throw me in fully clothed. The girls was getting on edge and it was time for their nap. With only five hours of sleep, while the girls were napping I took a nap as well; the boys were again glued to the tv so I had no worries. I stated dinner just in time for mr. John to get home and my car to leave the house. This was a better day then I could have imagined and now I can just relax.
