Two Years Since Returning Home

Two Years ago, Social Services returned my children to my care. They were no longer living out of the home and it was a glorious feeling to be one step closer to the case closing! Sadly, of the three parents brought before the court, I'm the only one that has increased my income by $35,000, I'm the only one that hasn't committed other crimes, and I'm the only one who's a constant in the kids' life.

It saddens me that DD's dad is in jail right now and DS' dad could be as early as Wednesday. Our life would be so much richer and fuller if they were responsibly in it. But they aren't. And its okay!

In the last year, I've met a wonderful man, done well at work, been able to continue doing really fun things with the kids including buying a raft to float around the local reserviours in the summer. We've gone to see the local attractions, done alot more movies, inside and outside at the drive in's. DD's going to a better school and DS' will start Kindergarten this year.

I say this alot and its true, Life Is Good!
