Childproofing a Childless Home

Well, when we signed up the foster/adopt, they needed 3 references. We gave them 5, 2 of them worked for the church. This week, we get another letter, with more questions to answer and asked again for 5 references, not related that you've known at least 3 to 5 years. We gave them six, after a lot of digging (we don't have many "close" friends, and we had to pick ones we knew wouldn't procrasinate filling out the info). I hope they didn't mean 5 for each of us!

We then went through the home checklist and tried to get all the necessary child-proofing supplies, smoke alarms, fire extinguisher, cabinet locks, socket covers and plastic mattress covers. The booze has been placed high out of reach and the cleaning supplies are locked in the cabinet. L and I searched EVERYWHERE in the store for cabinet locks. Guess where they were? In the BABY section? Must everyone torture me? Now L just needs to lock his hunting rifles in the shed and hopefully, all will look good.

Let me tell you how wierd it is child-proofing a childless house!
