Have you ever had one of those days where your mind is flitting from one thing to another? Well, mine does that a lot, lol, but today seems especially so. I guess it's because I have a couple of stressful things this week. I KNOW I shouldn't be stressed about things, that I should just give them to the Lord, which I HAVE, but the human part of me stills gets anxious.
Today I am going to an attorney with my dtr. who is seeking a divorce. How ugly and painful is that? Sad, totally sad...enough said. I don't want to give out private painful information regarding my dtrs. life, but divorce is ALWAYS painful, whether it is justified or not. I know, been there, done that.
Wens. I have Anah's meeting at school to review her IEP before the board meeting in March. I hate conflict, so I pray that what we had discussed is actually on the IEP and that I don't have to "fight" to get things I believe Anah needs. BUT, I will and do fight for my children's best interests, that to me is part of being a good parent. Advocating in all things, at all times, for our children.
Then Friday I have court. My ex has not paid child support for our boys in two years. The child support unit has actually had him thrown in jail (for 3mos), because he owes so much and is so blatantly defiant about providing what the court asks of him. He won't even give them his tax info. (of course he doesn't file, so the IRS is after him too, but that's another story), or pay stubs or anything! I can't imagine being that defiant in court, to the legal system and to a judge! To rather go to jail than provide the required documents and pay the court ordered child support! It truly boggles my mind! Like I said, I HATE conflict, and going to court is TOTAL conflict, it makes my stomach sick just thinking about it.
So, I ask for prayer for these situations, which tear at my peace. I do know that God is in total control and knows all the outcomes since the beginning of time, but anxiety still creeps it's ugly head in. I just ask for peace, a calm spirit and heart, and for God to be glorified in all I say and do during these meetings, not for my sinful flesh to get in the way.
Blessings to all who read this and for those that don't ;o) .

June, I'll be keeping all these situations in prayer, especially for your daughter. I have never been there, but my heart goes out to her. I can only imagine having to make a decision like that. Keep on keeping on.
i'll be praying for you! if it's any comfort, the cse chairperson in your district is really truly wonderful. i dealt with her frequently when i worked for headstart and found her to be very easy to work with. she has the children's best interest at heart and is agreeable to concessions that i have never even heard of any cse chair make regarding services. my district is very difficult to get anything out of, but that's ok... i don't choose to have them involved with millen's life any more than is absolutely necessary, so i guess it works out to the agreeability of both parties, eh? lol:D
i'll be thinking of your older daughter as well... tough times, i know:(
June-
I have been there done that on both counts..the divorce and the irresponsible stubborn ex-husband/parent.
Just want to say you are in my thoughts.
