It's beautiful where I live. My boyfriend and I took the GS for a nice walk. The child has been talking NON-stop today!! We can't get in a word edgewise...........haha. It was enjoyable and peaceful, though, walking through the woods with his little hand in mine. Times like those get me through the rough spots.

Yeah. I am so gonna miss little girl GD. It's almost a done deal that'll she'll go back - at least for awhile, unless ... a miracle.
Pray for us.

Starry, I went back to try to find out why she may be going back -- what is going on? I did read one post where the caseworker said that your granddaughter is the "adult" in the bio's home, and that her education wasn't attended to.

On what grounds do they plan to return her?

Good Sunday here, GS went with GPa to Home Depot.I got to wash the floors and vacuum. Super Bowl today, the house is going to get messy and the Ado ption Social Worker is coming on Tuesday.

I broke my little toe and I am limping around. I stayed up last night and did a income and outcome budget report and I presented it to my family, husband, and two teen daughters. I said if I don't start getting more help from everyone here I am going to quite my job! If happens; Everything gets cut until we can figure out how to bring in some extra money for special or extras...I am trying to do a STRIKE or something like that to get more help from everyone in home. My teen daughters need to help more. My husband has to, too. They have until June 2012!

Liam, just a question, why are you giving them til June? They should start helping now, especially with a broken toe! I'd use that to my advantage!

I agree with grannytan, don't wait until june start now!

Had a peaceful day, went to church with my parents and gs. He was such a good boy, then had lunch at my parents. Came home watched a movie with gs he feel asleep on the couch for an hour, my son and his girlfriend walked the dog and did the dishes. My husband was at work. Then back to work tommorrow, i was off all last week with an awful cold, that went into my chest.

June is the end of our fiscal year for the school district I work at and that is when I will decide if I retire; if that happens all the extra's will end for sure. I agree that my teen girls need to help more. However; we are the ones who agree to have gs placed with us he has taken away time from them.

Liam, sorry, thought you were going to make the teens wait until June to help. Hopefully your talk helped and the girls will pitch in more, a family is a team too! Good luck!

Remember when we were kids and sometimes you were sent to bed without dinner?

I did it to all three last night!!!

They had spent the day building tents in the middle one's room, then watched movies. They were having a ball, so I didn't mind. Then as I started making dinner I told them they had to clean up the room before they ate. Halfway through cooking I reminded them that they'd better start cleaning up. I went in to them several more times - nothing happened.

Then I finished cooking and told them that I was going to eat, and after I finished I was putting the food away if the room was still a mess.

The room was still a mess, so I put the food away - by now it was 7:30 and they all needed showers.

Before bed I reminded them that I had been more than fair, that they wanted their dinner and I had given them something to do. They failed to do it, I warned them that I wasn't going to wait forever to serve them dinner, and they suffered the consequences.

I wonder if it will make a difference? HAHAHAHA!

Starry,

You don`t have to let her go back.. You have sooo much evidence to the contrary.. please stand up for her......
