Even over the course of this week I've started to care less and less about what the house looks like. Yesterday I went home 30 minutes before the visit and literally kicked baby socks under the rug in the hall, shut the other doors, and lit a candle in the kitchen...and called myself ready.

I dumped it down the drain, put the glass in the dishwasher and stashed the bottle in an upper cabinet. And then of course went into scramble mode to get the house ready. I really wish I had had time to clean the house before the toddler arrived but I did not. And of course, the worker never stepped out of the living room anyway.<br /><br />We're currently in the middle of a 3 month break and I have been very intentionally leaving medicines in my medicine cabinet (since of locked in the closet) and leaving the box of knives out on the counter instead of in the upper cabinet that our case worker insisted on. Ahh… freedom! I hope I can remember to fix it all before our next placement or home visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758600112996373228.post-82818106809256720452013-09-05T23:42:42.118-05:002013-09-05T23:42:42.118-05:00I totally relate.

It got to the point where they were helping themselves to whatever was on the stove and tea from my cabinet. The kids have moved out and I met them for lunch two weeks ago!
