the mother (good friend I don't even know of my friend's who I've been staying with) rushed out with authorities earlier today and left me with three kids, plus the two nieces my friend had (because of their prisoned father) had to go with her and left them here with me too - five kids; 10, 7, 5, 3 and 2.

we haven't heard back from them since this morning - kids, I didn't know when they last ate, what they can't eat or where to take them for medical attention if needed but tried my best and am totally out of finances - not much food around here. and miss their mother so much.

I also still need to go home to my ark to check on them ... I can't take the kids into my car, we need one more baby seat. I am worried about crayola especially.

I'm a bit lost here but enjoying kids - all are asleep restfully now. sigh, a long dragged day. please keep us and everyone in your thoughts as things will go okay and for a smooth prepareness.

Still thinking of you, Amber!
Hope all goes well, Crystal.

{{HUGS}} to you both.

Prayers for you and everyone, Gina. Can you call the police via relay and maybe they can find out if your friend left for something to do with the brothers being in prison?

[sandragonfly]

thank you candace. I decided to wait until I hear from my friend before I post again. she left with her for moral support.

she'll be back here soon to help me out with kids and lunch. but had a bad news, the mother won't be coming back for a while. violated a law. now I don't know if I can leave my friend here with five kids, gone to camping this weekend. I feel so bad for her and all of this is just surreal.

all of the kids are fine and being so good. well, to my expectation. we played duck! you're it! game this morning - they all are so cute. goodness, I've missed babysitting - been a long time.

[Catty1]

Prayers for that mom and the children!

Thank goodness you are there to cheer them - what a gift you are!

I hope all works out for you and her...does this mean you might go camping with them? That'd be fun for you and the Ark, if the weather is good.

Take care....

[sandragonfly]

no, I planned to go camping with two other friends, leaving the ark here this weekend and now I don't know. but three kids' two fathers are flying here tuesday to take them and two girls' grandmother will be coming this wednesday... whew! so, maybe my friend will be ok here with all five wild kids for short. only four crazy days here I already felt like I've been here for a month.

prayers for my neck too please! lol. I couldn't move my neck or look down at all this morning. I hope it didn't sprained in swimming pool yesterday - a kid jumped on me. I even couldn't feed my ark this morning eh. it's so sore.. sigh.

Been reading your thread Gina.. Hope things will be going better for the kids and all those involved. If you want any activity ideas for them, let me know!

Just an honest question here, since I didn't actually get a response... are the kitties with you in the apartment/house with the kids, or are they at someone else's place? I know you said you'd never leave them in the car, so just wondering where all the furry ones are at.

My grandmother was supposed to go for hip replacement surgery in April. Now she can't have the surgery until she sees a heart specialist because there might be something wrong with her heart. She is 85 years old. she needs prayers that everything is OK with her heart and she can have her hip replacement.... it is causing her so much pain.

I offer my prayers for all who need them - may they be safe - may they heal and be healthy.

Please pray for my cousin Joe. He went into the hospital nearly 2 weeks ago his mom thinking he might have pnemonia. The doctors did tests and found a syst (don't know if i spelled it right) on his lung that was the size of a tangerine. There is a chance that he may have Cystic Fibrosis. Or Scoliosis (i think). please keep him in your prayers. He is also Autistic and he has asthma. He is only nine and still has a life to live. My Aunt Anne is very worried. thank You everybody!

[joycenalex]

prayers for those who need them

[ramanth]

Prayers for all of those that need it. *HUGS*

And I ask for a little prayer for myself. It's been a rough year and things have been coming to a head these past couple of weeks.

[Catty1]

Prayers being sent for everyone.

ramanth...I hope these things coming to a head will lead to something stronger on the other side! HUGS!

Update on my grandpa:
He has been in the hospital since the last update. He is now in a new nursing home, transferred today. I hope to be able to visit him sometime this week. My dad visited him yesterday and he said he was crying on and off the whole visit.

I'm not sure if life will ever be back to "normal" for him. So, I don't know what is to become of him, my grandmother, my grandpa's business, and so on.



Also, my uncle Joel (who I haven't seen in 7-8 years - he lives in California) is going to have a triple heart valve replacement surgery soon. When he was born doctors expected him to die at age 5. He is now close to being 60 or so.
Please keep in your thoughts as well. Things aren't looking too well for him.
