The Cutie

I actually got these the day (THE MAN) left my house, but I just didn't feel chipper enough to post them. I am back to myself, and I feel like a proud mama hen again.

Update

Well Dfacs is not going to open an investigation against me, so that is the end of this episode. Praise God. Today though my freedoms was quenched, when my dad dropped off my mom this morning and left her at my house to help me out. I needed to go to the grocery store, but I didn't feel free to go w/o the kiddos, because if I left it would appear that no one was watching the kids since my moms car wasn't there. I went to my 6 surrounding neighbors today and told them what happened, I told them what happened to our record, I told them that sometimes I have unseen babysitters like today. I told them that we were adopting and now my record is not clean. I told them that the Austin and Evan are pretty much old enough to be home for small amounts of time. Everyone seemed appalled, and most wanted to talk a long time about it. I just got back from the man behind us, where I have spent the last 1 1/2 talking to him and his wife. The people with the dogs were great and one of the ladies that lives there came over to tell me how wonderful my family is. The man across the street didn't invite me in or invite me to talk to he and his wife. He spoke to me through the screen door and said that he didn't have anything to do with it, but when I was telling him about my invisible babysitters (mom, next door neighbors) he said "thank you for clarifying that", and "Oh I see", so he is my number one suspect. Now that I've done this I feel satisfied that whoever it was might think that they acted hastily, and I was sweet and nice (by God's wonderful grace) so hopefully they have a better understanding of the situation. I am now going to forgive and ask God to help me forget.

PS. Georgia law, says that no child 0-8 can be left unattened for any reason. 9-12 can be left for up to 4 hours, 13yr olds can stay 12 hours by themselves and babysit younger children. That is all I was able to find out.
