i can't make this stuff up

Okay, so i'm really freaking out inside and trying to stay as calm and normal as i can. Our love bug's mom had a family emergency (her 1 year old niece died)and we have had lovebug for 9 days now. So we picked her up on friday (3/4)and her mom called us on sunday (3/6) asking us if we could keep her a few extra days. I said of course and then i did not hear from her again till tuesday morning, she called to see how lovebug was doing and wanted to have our lovebug call her that evening to talk to her. So we called. and called. and called. No answer. Wednesday our lovebug woke up from nap with an ear pain and her eyes were red and draining, so i called her mom and left a message letting her know that our lovebug was not feeling good and needed to go to the doctor and i couldn't take her so she needed to call me soon. She called on thursday (3/10), late afternoon to say that the funeral was not till saturday and if we would keep our lovebug till sunday(3/13). I said of course. She made no mention of the doctor so i told her that isabelle was doing better and didn't need the doctor but if that changed i needed to be able to get hold of her. She needed to answer her phone. she agreed and we left it at that. Well......i got a call from her last night(3/12). There was another death in the family, boyfriends grandpa. She would like me to watch our lovebug for another week or week and a half. She said she was having a real hard time, her sister was having a hard time and it would really help out if i could keep lovebug for a week and a half to 2 weeks. Her other daughter was going to be in daycare, the boyfriend was taking off to maine soon and it would be a great help if i could keep her for 2 weeks. Okay, so now isabelle is staying with us till sunday(3/27). Mom wanted to know if we needed anything, i told her that the only thing we need is a way to get lovebug medical attention in case there is an emergency and we can't get hold of her. She agreed and said she would get me something signed and notarized by today, like a power of attorney or something. I told her i wasn't sure what she needed to sign but i needed something that would allow me to take care of lovebug if we needed to. We'll see if i hear from her today.

Now my mind is going crazy with all these thoughts and ideas. Is she doing drug again? Is she consumed with grief? depressed? exhausted? I don't know what is going on. I know alot has happened in the last month and we have had lovebug for extra days the last two times we have picked her up for visits. I hear things and it makes my mind race. The nanny no longer lives there. Yes, they had a nanny that lived there and did a majority of the care taking when it came to the kids and all the housekeeping and cooking. This nanny, i have discovered has been through drug rehab twice and just turned 21 a couple months ago. The black eye mom had a week ago was from the boyfriend's birth mom?(mom's explanation to me) car accident?(explanation given to caseworker) nanny?(explanation given to me by our lovebug) I have not seen the 4 month old baby since christmas. I mentioned this to the caseworker and she has seen the baby, thank goodness. But i just find it strange that i am there twice a week and haven't seen the baby, and not just the baby but any sign of the baby. No toys, no bouncy seat, no diaper bag. Nothing.

And now i hear that mom is moving to grand junction. WHAT?!?! Is she leaving lovebug with us for 2 weeks so she can go find a place and get things established? Is she taking off without her kids? Can she even do this while there is a case still open? So many questions. No answers.
