I finally got my grandson from dss, it's been a long hard year of court battles and visitations.
He is doing so well, I am really thrilled.He's in my custody, but ddmom is allowed to live with us. My grandson is only 13 months, and is more tightly bonded to me, but I told my daughter she has the opportunity to work on her relationship with him, it's up to her. I let them play while I clean house, and she climbs in the tub with him. (She insists on wearing a bathing suit, so i just told her whatever makes her most comfortable)
It hurts her feelings terribly when he runs to me, and doesn't want anyone else, but at this point I am glad we can love each other while we wait to see if ddmom is going to grow up and create a future for her child or not. I just scoop him up and hold him tight, it's been a confusing year for him as well, and I'm sure he misses his foster mother who took really good care of him.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
