Suffice to say the kid's did not get taken away. The social worker was late on her date to come back and I (ever the conspiracy theorist) deemed it a trap to catch us in the act of being a "normal family", the nerve!! LOL
At any rate, she came back and glanced around the house, apologized for being late and sayed she knew our kids weren't in any danger, or she would have been here sooner.Yeah, No shit!! But a relief just the same, to hear her say it.
I have enrolled for summer semester full time. I hope I can be a full time mama and a full time student again. This semester all of my classes are online and as I recall I didn't do so well with the online classes last time. It makes it easier for the summer to sneak in some homework whenever I can though, so a means to an end I guess.(I have always hated that mode of thinking!) And if I have to I can always run away to the library when the Husband gets home from work.
.It seems our situation has improved dramatically in the way of getting bills paid off and the house payment caught up, an immense relief. Dare I think that this year will improve? It has definitely been sucktastic this so far. I fear I may be struck down for hoping things will be better, and pessimistically wait for the next catastrophe.
With our new found "luck"-- We have managed to buy season tickets to the local amusement park!! Let me tell you that with 5 kiddos in tow that will definitely be an adventure for us all.. Fun, yeah that's what it'll be... : /
Maybe its just me being too much of a realist, but I foresee many panic attacks and head counts at the amusement park. Best to pack the xanex with the sunblock!But I figure as long as we can keep track of everyone we should have a pretty fun summer...assuming I don't go crazy that is. Well crazier.
