Small update

It has been a little while since my last update. I feel like I've been a mother forever.

I'll start with an update on C's situation.  Mom is still being required by the courts to comply with a list of things to do.  This doesn't seem to be getting completed at this time.  In the best case scenario (for C), mom gets her stuff done and he stays with us while waiting.

However, that may not be the case. There is distant family in another state that the courts are requiring DSS to look into as a temporary placement while mom gets her act together.  This is appalling to me.  Reprehensible.  If this were a permanent placement for him, I'd feel quite differently; however, another bandaid and another move for C is unnecessary and unfair to his development. I can't stand the "system."

Day to day update on C:  he is enjoying his time in the local preschool.  He seems to have more behavior issues at school than at home, but that is not a surprise to me.  I wish the teacher would tell me more about his behavior instead of sugar-coating it. At home, however, he is a sweet, sweet child.

What about me? I'm faring well.  College is getting me down a bit, and Steve and I never see each other because of his work schedule.  I'm waiting for the summer when I can focus on organizing my life and my money (we are so stinking poor!)  I don't really enjoy being in my history classes this semester.  I don't really want to teach English anymore.  I just want to be a mom.
