Yes, a POA would allow us to get food stamps and medical care for the kids. Guardianship is more involved in Arizona and requires a court date and is harder to rescind (also requires a court date).I am already feeling better but I'm really, REALLY tired still... hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Sharon,

I find that some, if not all, of my MonSter related stuff,

worsens with added stress... And I'm hoping and praying that

this is what you are experiencing as well... only because when

the stress eases, so do the extra/added symptoms. That would

mean the more you relax and get back to your normal chaos, the

better you'll be feeling. Though, if you're like me, the

changing of the seasons (mine is especially worsened between

Winter & Spring, or I seem to notice it more then), brings

on a little extra MonSterish activity as well.

I wonder if POA where you are, would be the same as guardianship

is here in PA? I understand that POA anywhere would give you the

authority to accept or decline medical treatment on the

children's behalf, as well as make other decisions for them

too. Guardianship here in PA, will also allow those things, as

well as receiving "benefits" for the kids (aka food stamps, cash

assistance, and medicaid. Though they already have medicaid, I

believe, as you stated in an earlier post.) But with extra

mouths to feed, and a couple of those kids being female and "off

a certain age bracket" cash for other necessities would/could be

quite helpful as well, should you find yourself in possession

once again. Do you know if the POA would allow for this way down

there?

Ahhh... the extra three

kids and their dad are finally GONE! Now the house is back to

the relative quiet of just three adults and four kids (8, 13,

15, 16), 6 dogs, 8 indoor cats...... I don't know if that

sounds quiet to you --but it sounds like heaven to me:)

I have had more numbness in my abdomen, legs and especially

feet. I am having the mid back pain that usually goes along

with MS stuff. My ribs are hurting all around and I'm

apparently having the MS hug. I have a bottle of prednisone I

can take if I need. I think a little bit of a calmer life will

probably solve this little flare.

So the dad and kids are gone. But for how long, is the

question? The dad goes to court on Tuesday. My family is

hoping and praying the dad can stay out of trouble and out of

jail. The dad did give me a power of attorney over the kids.

I hope I never need it again:)

Thanks to each of you for your moral support!

love you all

Sharon

Sharon,

So long as the POA allows for all the stuff needed, definitely

don't wanna get courts involved.. We did guardianship for

Beverly, when we had her, up here in PA.. just a matter of

typing up the papers (from a freebie website) taking them to the

nursing home where 's sister was, and having her sign and

the on-staff notary come into the room and notarize them there..

Then we had the "say so" when it came to school and doctors and

medical assistance anyway.. could have gone for cash and food

stamps, but didn't we were making enough (both of us were

working at Charter then) to cover what little that kid ate.. and

EVERYBODY bought her clothes.. so.. all we really needed was the

medical covered because neither of us could add her to our work

policies..

But it's a relief for us to know (and I'm sure a BIGGER relief

for you to know) that you can call upon those resources if you

inherit the kids again in the future... Still gonna reek a bit

of havoc on you with the stress of having all the

screaming-me-me's in the house.. but not nearly as much as

wondering just how you're gonna put food in their bellies or

shoes on their feet if need be.. [Might wanna stock up on some

kosher meal plans and keep them in reserve.. "just in case" for

the future -- and I seem to find that if I do just that.. I

never seem to need the "just in case" stuff]
