Is it really that time already?

What a emotional roller coaster this week has been. I must say I am rather glad that for the most part it is over.

As far as my goals this month...

1. Continue to work on our outside chores and all the inside ones that are needing done before winter.
Well we didn't work on this at all this week. But this why.
Isn't it pretty. Needless to say we didn't get any more work done. But for the most part we were done anyway so this is not a big deal. I steal want to plastic my windows but that can be done anytime.

2. We had our first visit with our foster care support worker yesterday and as I said before she left a ton of information and a ton of paperwork for us to do. So this month I plan on working on that. The sooner we can get that done the sooner we can get our home study started. She figures over two months for the home study so I need to get on it. :)

Well no course this weekend. Our criminal record checks didn't come back in time. However we are for sure signed in for the next one. Unfortunately it is not until February, but not a lot we can do about it. The good news is that when we met with our social worker yesterday she told us if we can get the paperwork in for her my next Thursday she should be able to start some of the home study work. So I am excited about that. So needless to say these next few days will be filled with lots of questions answered. 
She also informed us that if we have everything else done by our training in February that we should be able to be ready for a placement!! Whoohoo!!

3. Working on crafts. I am hoping to get a lot of Christmas crafts/gifts done this month. This one is a bit more of the hopeful. LOL

Well I showed you all how to do beach glass and next week I will show you about the sparkles. Just in time for Halloween. 
I have to say I made quite a few crafts this month. It has been a great feeling to feel crafty again and be inspired.

I already have a couple ideas for next months goals. What about everyone else??
I am linking up today with Aurie.

  2. Yes, very pretty snow! We're still wearing shorts down here in Florida, but I think we'll be getting some cooler weather next week. I'm sorry that your background checks didn't come through, but it sounds like your case worker is trying to work with you to get other things done. That's a blessing. Crafts for Christmas--what a great idea!

    1. Shorts seem so far away. I love to be crafty and have all those creative juices flow. Looking forward to actually making some more gifts for Christmas this year.

  3. Wow! It's still early for snow here, but I don't mind that much. I'm excited about your application process. I have a friend who's going through a similar process and it's true, you should get as much done as you can control even if you can't control the rest. It'll make it easier in the end.

    1. It's a bit early for it to stay here as well, but honestly I don't mind. I'm excited too and also a bit nervous. Just laying in God's hands.

  5. We haven't had snow, and I have to admit that I'm glad - I'm not quite ready for that white stuff yet! Great job on the crafts - can't wait to see what you come up with next!

    1. LOL We (as in my family) all love snow so it's really not to bad. It is hard to believe that something that seems so far away will be here in a blink of an eye, but I know it is true. Must get busy. :)
