Sitting here at work, not really working. I came in over the weekend to do my most important tasks for the rest of the week, I just figured that a million little things would come up today if I didn't do that and I wouldn't be ready to take 2 weeks pretty much off/ work from home as much as possible. 

I am as prepared as I can be at home. All the laundry is done, I cleaned the carpets. I deep scrubbed the kitchen and bathrooms... 

I think I got this! 

Ok ladies and gents, this one is about OSS19. For those who don't remember he is Austic, Bipolar, ADHD (like a mofo) and has general anxiety disorder. He is medicated and functions basically like what you would expect from a 12 yr old. He is a good kid and I have very few issues with him, he is a preteen in a tall body so that is where I keep my expectations. 

Dinner last night with my niece went really well. I made her cry... a lot! She has lost all confidence in herself and was feeling very alone. Her mom (my sister) and I reassured her that she is not. That we are here for her. She was raised by a strong mom, she has a strong Aunt. We both were single moms for a while. We both made it through and look at how awesome are kids are! The judge has already told her that she was able to see her kids and that her ex can't keep them from her. We have a plan, she is following through and  not going to allow him to beat her and bully her anymore. 

The last month has been emotionally draining to say the least. 

4 weeks ago- we fly to KS for nothing- contempt and custody to be heard on July 29th, judge wasn't in the mood to hear anything that day and it didn't matter that we flew there and took time off of work.
