Those of you who do proper jobs probably came home from today looking forwards to spending tomorrow sat in the car on the M89 as the children amuse themselves destroying the interior of the car.
For us foster carers, "holiday" is the opposite of time off. It's a 24/7 experience of being on call. Thankfully we have done the tough work with our current 2 and they are turning into competent and resilient young men.
Of course there is also young P who is no longer fostered but has arrived today to stay for a week. He is entering his teenage years and therefore into the "grunt" stage of development.
Normally we would be heading off to the ferry but of course with our personal economy in the total doldrums we are firmly tied to the house here. We need to get the house next door into a state where we can rent it, if nothing else.
