The road back.



I'm not going to try to fill in all of the details of my life since my last entry... but there are things that you ought to know.

* My stupid sister in-law Holly decided that her ex-con boy friend was the most important thing in her life. So she abandoned her kids with us and my mother-in-law. That was Dec. 28th... six weeks ago today.
What we have is "Shared guardianship" of Cameron and Shelby. Ted and Patty (my in-laws) have "Custodial Guardianship" of the kids. What all this means is: Cameron & Shelby sleep at my in-laws...but since they work, the kids are at my house the rest of the time. For the trouble, the State of Washington sends us $350 per month.that's $175 per kid - per month.... about $1.25 per hour. Do you think the kids' father could help? No way... he is filing for Bancrupcy, and just bought a new(er) car.

When did Parenthood become optional? Like a college class you decide to audit because it gets too difficult.

This has been a horrible year (at least so far) for illnesses Monica has bounced from flu to Pneumonia to flu for an overall total of 4 weeks.I've been pretty tired lately and I have a constant headache. Call it tension, call it depression... I just want to be able to do something fun. I miss going to the movies, or out to dinner...

I guess things will become more clear if I start adding journal entries more regularly...
