Crazy Scedule Just Ramped Up to a NEW Level

Just when I was thinking, "Wow, I survived the first crazy week. I can do this!" I find out very quickly that Heavenly Father has another plan for me...let's just call it more crazy than I thought...

• CPS Manager informs me I have to take a child for a special doctor's visit...and by the way it is right in the middle of nap and couldn't be scheduled at another time. Heaven forbid we make an appointment during the parent's visitation time (which is more important than the chidlren's happiness or well-being).
  
• The transportation people call me and say, by the way so-and-so is having a baby and could you transport the kids for this-and-that. My answer, "I don't get paid enough to do that." Just kidding...I really said, "I'm sorry we already have plans. You'll have to find someone else to transport."
• The kids counselor tells the transport people (doesn't bother to call me herself) that she has to move the kids counseling visit up to 8am. I call her and say, "No, we can't do any appointments before 9am." These kids don't like early mornings and take forever to get ready. Plus, I'm transporting for Seminary at that time. It's kind of hard to be in two places at once. I get a call that counseling cannot be skipped this week and the only other option is....1pm...again right in the middle of nap. Does anybody care? Nope. The counselor's answer to the fact they will miss nap is, "Well they might be a little cranky." A little! Have you seen them without a nap? No, but I have!
  

So...just when I thought I had my schedule down and everyone would be happy, the crap hits the fan. Have you ever had a child who could not skip nap without melting down every 5 minutes? Well, we have two of them.

OK - So I just ranted and raved online, but it really is a pain. I'm beggining to think that the parent's rights and needs are placed way ahead of the foster children's.
