I have posted about this in lj, so pardon the x-posties, but I'm still feeling kinda giddy.
I talked with C's lawyer to let her know that dad signed the paperwork and mom is supposed to sign tonight. She (the lawyer) said that with that, they can put in for temporary guardianship until the court makes it official. This will give us all the rights on a temp basis...but I should be able to put her on my medical and all that stuff.
I don't have the right words to express how I feel right now...y'all are so much more elequent, but I had to share.
Betsy has a bad tooth. She's getting them cleaned and stuff right now.
Whew. . . I'm very relieved for you.
Oh, that's wonderful news, both for erika and MG!
ION, I'm about in tears. I just spent an hour making broccoli cheddar soup, and it's crap. Guess that's what I get for trying to make up a recipe that would be on the diet.
Maidengurl, that is marvelous news. Congratulations..
Yeah, I mean, they have to pull the tooth, and then probably anti-bs, but it could've been worse. And the dental cleaning...I have been bugged about her breath for the last little bit, but she's a dog...who knows what she might eat?!
Her face was all swollen.
No need to cry over bad soup, vw. Next time you'll know what to avoid. Can you use it as a sauce or something?
vw, crappy broccoli cheddar soup is unworthy of your tears. Ask yourself whether the memory of the soup will still make you cry when you think back on it a week from now, and if not, then fuck it.
Of course, I'm one to talk. Saturday night I cried over chocolate-caramel chip cookie dough to which I'd accidentally added some butterscotch chips.
Oh, forgot to mention, yay to erika's Betsy for just having a problem tooth and nothing worse.
And HUGE yay to MG and C and all your family and hers. I'm so, so glad her parents are doing what's right, and that it's going smoothly so far (legally, anyhow -- it must be hugely emotionally fraught, but thank God there won't be much legal wrangling on top of that).
MG, that's great news about C. So glad to hear it.
erika, I'm glad to hear Betsy is doing better.
vw, I'm sorry the soup didn't turn out well.
ImeN, I thought I had found the perfect job for me in San Juan working for Customs and Border Patrol. It might not have been my dream job, but I was well-qualified for it. Unfortunately, it closes today and they will only accept applications through the mail. IOW, no faxes or e-mails. I'm sort of bummed about it, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
