I'm sooo excited I woke up at 4:30 this morning! I'm so nervous I think I'm going to lose my cookies as well!
My daughter called me last night after the K graduation she went to for my GD. The parent aide was pattering herself on the back to my daughter saying how much she and CW did for her by allowing permission for my daughter to see the graduation. I love smart phones...my daughter was talking to her attorney at the time and the attorney told her, it was a public event at a public school her daughter attends and she could have gone without the permission of CPS and without the Parent adie. HAhahahahah... My daughter read the text back to the parent aide and told the parent aide she was grateful, but there was nothing special that the law didn't cover her on already!
I'm proud of how my daughter stood up for herself, her rights and didn't let the parent aide and we know it will go back to the CW try to over indulge in what they say they are doing when in fact, they did nothing!
My daughter warned me that the parent aide talked to her about my visit today with the kids, My daughter said the parent aide is worried because of things CW told her about me... What in the world did I ever do to that CW, what in the world is the CW talking trash about me not only to my GD but now to a parent aide that isn't suppose to know anything about a case???? If the CW hasn't talked trash about me, then the Parent aide would be worried about my visit.....Right????
My daughter went to the school today to pay for a yearbook. She saw my GD, who is upset because she has to go to a different FH for the weekend.
Oh Boy, cause I know my GD, when she gets upset like this she asks lots of questions...Which I was hoping wouldn't happen! I'm meeting the PA and kids over at the Childrens Museum.... I hope there is enough activities to keep her little mind off the questions!

GS is sooo big... I'm happy to say he remembered me! The museum had lots of room, so I got on the floor with GS and we have had this game for a long time, we would roll together on the floor, then he would climb on my belly and I'd bounce making horse gallop sounds, then we would roll again. After the first roll he climbed right on the belly and made this face of "I missed you", and then leaned down and gave me the biggest hug!
GD put on a puppet show for us... Her puppets were falling off the edge of the stage, as they did, GS threw them back. I guess GD didn't notice this and at the end of her puppet show, she brought the dragon to come and rescue all the puppets that fell and bring them back to the castle. she stood up from behind the screen looked down and said, where did all they all go? LOL!
As we were having a snack, I asked the PA if I could call my husband so he could say hello to the kids. She made the comment, of course Tammie, I'm easy to get along with. I told her that I am as well, and I apologized for not being social with her, I explained to her it's been over 6 weeks since I have been able to speak or see the kids, and I want this time with them. She didn't have a problem with that, nor a problem with the kids speaking to their GP. The PA asked about our work, and I told her the end of the month is the hardest for my husband and I always, but that we decided to make one boss angry instead of both bosses by allowing me to come to the visits and my husband stay at work. She said she can do 1-2 week of the month visits, and called me this AM to set up Junes 6th. That was the first person in that agency that took our work schedule and seriously!
GMaWilli, The attorney knows all the bs, which gives us more ammo at time of hearing, and it doesn't matter which hearing, my daughters or ours.

hugs!
