TJ:

Wow, I was talking to you when I first came on. You got it goin' girl!

Soul Bro' Rust, I didn't know you were hangin' out here too. Glad your

mind's out of the gutter. Mine's not! My mom says I got it from my Dad.

It is so great to see all you guys doing so fantastically well.

I've got the chillies reading the last 3 pages of the progress each and

everyone of you has made.

I've been doing well also. However, I do not suck crawly fish heads.

In fact I almost lost my dinner reading about the process....


+ =


Bee,

I am a social worker, I have been on medical leave for almost a year now.

It looks like I will be retired with permanent disability soon, I am not

mandated and would like to give you some helpful advice:

You are doing great, and congrats on 40+ days.

Remember throughout this whole court process: the primary goal first

and foremost, of Children and Families is to reunite the child permanently

with the parent(s) once stabilzed and safety is proven. The stress you feel

is what the whole process feels on both sides as preparations are made

for the return. The best thing you can do is to follow the social worker's

case plan. Make sure all points have been completed. Keep all

pending appointments, stay calm and confident, and consult your

attorney immediately if anything seems "fishy" or your questions are

not answered directly and promptly.

My best to you, Bee. Everything should go well.

Oh, yes. A good social worker will do their utmost to help you.

Ask them. It is why they are getting paid, but it should not be why

they chose the profession.

Love All and keep on the Happy Road, especially when it

seems too hard to follow.

Love, Sherry

Hi Sherry!!
good to hear from you! I haven't been typing much on here lately, there's always so many things that I want to do in a day. I LOVE LOVE LOVE springtime, it smells so nice and looks so pretty out
I have a pretty fun meting tonight at 8. It's a gambling meeting hehe! Not real gambling. We each buy in at .50cents for oodles of chip, and the person with the most chips at the end wins a prize. The rest of the buy-in money goes into the AA bank I guess? didnt ask that part. The guy that one last year, won a giant summer sausage, and shared it with everyone. I hope I win!! YAY!
Hugs & have a great weekend!!

hey there,

I left a note on "mice and men" letting all know what's going on with me. Glad to see you stone, bee, tj, and all the rest of the usual suspects. funny, i'm here in the south and it was warm a few days ago. woke up to snow this morning. guess it's a good time for me to watch golf this afternoon.

i pray this note finds you all well, happy, and sober. going home tomorrow. got some things worked out in my head. dangerous place to be....my head. but have a friend here that's been helping me sort things out. just like you guys do when i'm f**ked up.

just have to get home and put the suggestions into practice. toughest thing, putting advice into practice, especially when its my own advice!!!!!!

bye for now, will be in touch. Hey TJ, you're right, i did take my laptop and couldn't stay away. You know me better than I know myself.

the fog is lifting in my head. may actually be glad i'm still married. imagine that!!! never gave my wife a chance to really be my friend. but now i know she is. how come it's taken me 35 years of marriage to find that out? just dense i guess.

love to all,
ED (trying to think outside the box that is my mind)

What happened to Spring?
It was down to freezing here!! Ed said he woke up to snow...yowee
Well, I just wanted to wish every one a Happy Easter..going to hit a noon meet, eat Sunday dinner with my cousins and then go to see a movie-The Namesake...may even hit an evening meet too, can't have enough reinforcement even if its DAY 46!!!!!

Miss my boy but got to spend the day yesterday with him, we put together this Pirate ship with pirates throwing harpoons into this poor shark...he loved it though and the best part is when he lays his head down on my shoulder and says I love you Mom....I know there are more days to come soon but can't help feeling impatient.
For now I merely meditate on the good stuff.


Yes yes, emoticon day!!haha

How ya'll are??? TJ, Chris, Stone, RZ, IO, Ed, Phazer and lurking Peeps!

Happy Day!

Melissa

Ah,Bee, a cold lonely day missing your boy on Easter is hard. I went through

that with shared custody, had to tear him from my arms at times.

Do not give up. You are to close to wining this thing. Your recovery has just

begun and life with that boy is beginning in a new way. He needs you.

Love,

Sherry

TJ,

60 days!!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! truly a miracle. you've worked very hard tj and it just goes to show what God gives us when we are faithful to His purpose.

Not much else to report. Just feeling much better about my marriage and what I need to do to make it better. it's always nice to get objective input from someone who has no stake in the game.

On to work now...i guess it's about time. I've been slackin' of for a month now so I think I better give the company something back.

Be well today my friends.

Love to all,
Ed
