Not a drop

Not only did Rita miss us, we didn't even get a drop of much needed rain from her. Well, better safe than sorry. Now we have pretty much everything we might need if we have some other natural disaster.

It was very hot yesterday - up to 108, I think. We went swimming at a local spring fed pool. In previous posts I mentioned that one of our teens has a bio sibling whose adoption placement fell apart for very scary reasons. She has been quite worried since she found out, and even with all the strings we could pull, we weren't able to get a visit set up until yesterday at the pool. It was hot as the dickens, but the water was cold and all the kids, from teens to babies enjoyed it. The sibling was okay - happy enough, willing to play in the water with his sister even though he'd wanted to meet us at the mall instead. He wants to live with us. We can't. He is going to need specialized care that we can't give him with so many kids in the house. Additionally, he and his sister will feed off of each other's emotions if they lived together and her emotional rollercoaster alone stretches our abilities. We still feel a bit of guilt.

Just wanted to mention to you, how often you and your family are in my thoughts these days.
Take care.
