055 ~ Challenges

Monday - 12th -

School was delayed 2 hours - no surprise.  

The cold front had arrived - 

dropping temps from 20 above to 20 below!!! 

The high for Monday was not even above zero!  

Windchills were pushing that to 25-35 below zero!  

Not fun to be out in at all!!!

This pic was actually taken on Saturday

but it's one of the very few

with Dany and her cousin Mack;

and don't you just love their

fascination with technology!?!

But Monday is our day for Dany's in-home counselors... 

and there were other issues... 

a last minute eye exam appointment for her right after school 

and before counseling.  

Sis & Dany arrived home for that about 30 minutes after 

the counselors had arrived... 

but the 3 of us had some great conversation 

while we waited for them.  

There's so much I just can't get into here 

but I'm not the only one nearing the "end of the rope" 

with how things are progressing, 

or not progressing, as the case may be.  

One of the end results from Monday's session is 

that I am now picking up Miss Dany after school each day 

and taking her to her place (not mine) 

and making her put away HER belongings in the proper places - 

which also means helping her discover 

what those proper places are.  

It also means that for the rest of this month, at least, 

my weekdays from 3pm until whenever her mom gets off work 

are now FULL and nothing else can be scheduled into those times!  

UGH!!!  

I sure hope this idea works! 

Until Dany keeps her belongings cared for properly 

she will not go to the boys and girls club after school 

or for the off days either... 

and Winter Break is coming up... 

a whole week of no school!!!
