sherron0No, not panicking here. 1 hour and 34 minutes. Then no live journal. Reading like a crazy person.
Also, at 8am, it's still only 33°. Gaack. We were all still in denial about the impending cold, telling ourselves the 50's would last, but now it's time to dig out the jackets.
Or in Shelby's case go buy the child one. I can't believe DHR sent him here practically naked. It's not as if they pulled him out of a meth house in the middle of the night, and couldn't take anything with them. He's been in "care" (they call it) for 10 Years! I understand why this last foster home didn't buy anything, they only took him as an emergency and knew he wouldn't be there too long. But before that he spent 2 years in a children's group home. They didn't have time to buy him one shirt that actually fits? And he's 19.5 years old. He's been out of that teenage boy grow fast stage for at least 2 years, probably 3. Grrr.
2 pairs of blue jeans
1 pair long pants with the button torn out,
2 shirts, neither of which really fit him, the buttons are straining and the sleeves aren't long enough for him to wear comfortably (so really no shirts)
2 T-shirts, one of which we bought for him on one of the weekend visits.
1 pair sports shorts, which he will never leave my house in, just gross
1 pair shoes, almost completely worn out. (I've already bought a good pair of athletic shoes, $130 - extra large, ya know)
3 pairs of sock, one of which actually fit him.
5 pairs of underwear, one of which he says is not his.
Oh, but all the kids at the group home got iPod shuffles for Christmas.
