Woopsie Daisy!

Hi, Barb.

I feel terrible! I started this post last night but I never finished it!! I thought I had finished and published, but T&S came over and I got sidetracked and didn't come back. So I woke up this morning, all excited to read and - voila! - there's my draft just sitting there on the screen, stopped in mid-sentence. What a freakin' dork I am. (I cut and pasted this, like you said, to a new entry, so it would be in the right order.)

Glad to hear you had such a good time over the weekend...I knew you would! :-) You're a very lucky aunt. Oh wait, didn't I say that two days ago?

Today (meaning Monday) was a good day, actually. M called here last night wanting to come over and pick up some of "his things". He wasn't very pleased to hear that I wanted him to come home, and that he wasn't allowed to take all of his things with him to live somewhere else. We talked for awhile, in complete circles; it was non-productive and hurtful. J and I had already decided that we were going to start the process of reporting a runaway today, but I didn't get the information I needed until late in the day. Fortunately, in getting that info, I also learned lots of other, very helpful stuff. I won't bother with all the details (they bore me) but suffice to say that I believe we may have a course of action - a plan - now. Of course it involves the police, Family and Child Services, and Juvenile Court, in addition to filing a court order against my kid, but what the hell, eh? I'm thinking I'll have to let go of my worries about being viewed as a PWT Mom ~~~ here's where I left off; how could I have thought I was done? ~~~ since I know that I'm not one, A), and 2) At this point, what do I really care what anyone else thinks?

tuesday now...

I have to run out to a doc appt (sinus infection) here in a minute but I wanted to post this before I left. Yesterday I had a complete debacle at the police department, made another slew of phone calls this morning and am basically just waiting for the Family Reconciliation Services to call me with my assessment date and time. I'll explain more later - maybe on the phone, seriously, this bores me.

Talk to you later,
Love you!
