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.
