We're going to have a visitor...

The G.A.L. wants to conduct a home inspection, with children present, next week! Needs to be on Monday or Tuesday, since we are leaving for Maine on Wednesday.
Let the cleaning frenzy begin!!! (note: not that my house is filthy, just a tad cluttered and needs to be spruced up a bit. NOT. PANICKING.)

The fat lady has sung...

On Tuesday morning I was FINALLY able to meet with the court appointed G.A.L. As stressful as it was , it was an even bigger relief. I was able to tell my story from the beginning, right up until the present. To be able to speak freely, give my perceptions, insights, and take on events was a true gift. Granted, I do that to all of you, my friends and family, but to someone who can actually impact and effect this entire situation?
Who needs a wrapped birthday gift when I got what I've really wanted for so long?
