Today was a busy day. SCHOOL TIME... The 15 year old experienced "orientation". She desired to attend public high school, and I nervously agreed. With all of the stress building steadily, and the constant turmoil and upheavals at home, there are great "holes" in the children's schooling. Big "gaps". This is just a "trial run". We'll see how it goes. A counselor here at the shelter drove her to the town we'll be moving to, and stayed with her until she was comfortable. It was the first day. She'll be attending as a freshman. I have made the difficult choice to allow three of the other children to also attend school. I found a Mennonite church that serves the new community we'll be moving to. I am planning on learning whether or not my younger children might be able to attend the school, there. It would please me, considerably, to know that their learning was Christian-based. I understand that Parochial schools cost a lot of money, otherwise...
HELLO, DOCTOR... My oldest daughter had an appointment with an eye doctor. She was having some headaches and suchlike. We thought it wise to have her seen to rule out the need for glasses. The dear girl has perfect vision! The doctor suggested she see a family practitioner if her headaches continued. I saw a doctor for a physical. I have a mammogram being scheduled for the lump/pain in my breast and had an x-ray of my lungs, as the bronchitis has gone deeper. I was also given some medication to help with my persistent migraines. One of which I've fought all day, today. Ouch. Meanwhile, I came back "home" to the abuse shelter to learn that the six-year-old's fever had returned. The seven-year-old was complaining of headache and was flushed with a mild fever. There must be some sort of virus floating around, here. Thankfully, I had children's Tylenol to administer. They're doing well, now. Everyone's sleeping soundly, and I'm looking forward to joining them in "Slumberland"!
THE LEGAL FRONT... While waiting for the bus to take us back to the shelter, my attorney phoned to notify me that my husband has obtained a new attorney. She admitted that this new gentleman is known by the courts as being "cut-throat" and "going for the jugular", and warned me that I had very difficult fights to look forward to, but that I should take heart. The judge is aware of the type of attorney this fellow is, and that such a fact is always something taken into account. She also told me that my husband desired to have a "re-trial" for custody and the obtained restraining order. He didn't like how the judge ruled, at the last hearing, and wants to contest it. I understand that, legally, he had only ten days to do this. Today was the last day he could have ordered it, not including Labor Day. I am praying that my attorney heard no more prior to leaving her office for the day. The last thing I want to do is "re-hash" everything once again...
YIPPEE! I have some exciting news! I received another phone call, today, too. Apparently, the woman that is in the house we're due to move into "by the 19th of September" did a complete job, packing up her belongings. So much so that the transitional housing staff was able to do a "walk through" today, and will (Lord willing) be taking a truck load of furniture to the house, tomorrow, for us! We will be able to move into our new home this week, Thursday!
VROOM! VROOM! Tomorrow is Wednesday. My oldest daughter and I had hope to go to the DMV and take the written portion of the drivers' test so we each can, then, shoot for the probationary license. I will let everyone know what happens. It would be such a blessing if we could obtain our drivers' licenses. For many reasons!
Thank you all for your wonderful reminders of God's love. You are such a gift to me, and I am thankful that the Lord brought us "together"! |
