Back and Ready to Go

I’ve been away from my blogging for a few weeks.  I’ve really been going through life lately.  All is well on my home front.  I’m happy to say that my children and I are on solid ground again.  My son is currently fighting for custody of his beautiful four year old daughter.  Just out of the blue his ex has decided that he cannot have any more visitation.  We are so very fortunate in our family to have connections!  My son’s father remarried a lady (unfortunately for her had just a horrible divorce and had to deal with her ex-husbands abuse toward her oldest daughter) who really knows the court system and by that I mean, she knows a Judge who happens to be the Judge in the very county that we live.  She also knows someone who works for the Children Services Division and by that I mean she is the Director of that Division!  Long story short:  My son’s ex filed for a restraining order against him and his step-mom.  She went before the Judge Ex Parte and (teehee, giggle, lol…) and her request for a restraining order was denied.  Finally, because my son’s step-mom knows the head hancho, finally many of our past complaints regarding the care of my grand-daughter are finally being looked into.  All of his restraining orders have been granted.  Now, the case goes before the Judge in late September for temporary custody and the final steps being the first two weeks of October are set for the trial.  One of her chldren has already been removed from her home for the same issues and she has not even visited him regularly and that was eight (8) years ago.  I could never go that long between visits with my children.  I think the big guy in the sky is with us on this one.  And, by big guy in the sky, I mean God!

I’ve been struggling quite a bit with my health.  Still waiting for my MRI for confirmation of the MS, however, I have veen giveb the clinical diagnosis which just means that I have all of the synptoms and enough to warrant a diagnosis.  I’ve been trying to keep up the smiles and realized a couple of days ago that I have just been whining like a stuck, chubby, little piggy.   Since I realized my pitty party, I have put it under control and know that I am going to be fine.  Nothing will be any different than now as there is no treatment over and above what they are already doing for me.

Along the same topic; I spent last Monday sitting at the hospital waiting for my daughter to get out of surgery.  They diagnosed her with a dermoid cyst and it turned out during a laparoscopy that she in fact did not have a cyst but endometriosis.  Her physician told us that she would treat it aggressively for six months and then it was time for her to begin the path of motherhood.  And my reaction to this is…..YES, MORE GRANDCHILDREN!  I am so excited I can hardly wait.

More later, I have to call my boyfriend back.  Then I have to get myself to bed as I work at 5:30 a.m. in my brolther’s coffee shop until 1:00 p.m.  Then off to the post office because I forgot to mail my friend in Australia’s material.  Check out her blog it is absolutely wonderful.  Especially if you love quilts like I do!  Her blog is MagikQuilter.wordpress.com
