⬆️ yup. That's where i am in life. I have been here many times before. I hope to never return.
Today was the day! Court day! I hoped and prayed bio mom would do the right thing and relinquish but I knew she wouldn't. Off to trial we go mid February. So maybe our trip to Montana and Colorado to meet the boys parents will be a celebration as well. One can hope. She was a mess. Bio. Higher than a kite. Literally skipping and running the long hall in the court house. WTF....
Today was a tough day. A very very busy day at work. I called my supervisor around 130 and frequently after that for assistance with a crazy admission. She called me back at 530 as I rushed across town for this same family in crisis. She said she would be right there. I had to leave at 545 to get back to the daycare by 630. For some reason crisis calls are always on the other side of town. She text at 555 saying she was 20 minutes away. I was not on call. In fact, she was. She would not answer the on call phone so k was next in line. I will not let a family suffer. I had literally walked into the daycare to get the girls when I got the call. My heart hurt but I knew I needed to go to this family. Literally a life or death situation. I work hospice. I was 2 hours late picking up the girls by my standards and 4 minutes by their standards. This will be the last time my job ever comes before my girls.
I expressed my frustration to my boss. She had an attitude with me. We will be reviewing my contract that has it written in about parenting time and my children coming before my job. A coworker who is social work part time called and asked if it was a slow day around 4. She said she had seen my boss at the movies. Not. A. Happy. Camper....
Such is life folks. We have a visit hearing Tuesday to suspend visits. I'm praying it goes through. Bug came home colored in hearts Tuesday after visit. She has sensitive skin to begin with but freaks out when things cannot be washed off. This wasn't washable marker... Good times.

I was always frustrated with visits - I don't understand why they let the bio parents do whatever they want. I was always told "as long as the child isn't in danger, we can't interrupt". I think that's crazy - the kid was in danger that's why they are in foster care so now we need to focus on the kid.
