4 days until vacation

After a very fun and very busy and VERY fattening weekend, I am ready for a week to relax, pack and get ready for vacation!  After all the turmoil of the past 5 + months, then the craziness of the weekend and all our awesome company, it will be amazing to have a week to be a cozy family!  I keep being tempted to keep Liam home from school just to have some time with him, but with vacation only days away, I think we can make it through.  He has his school play this Thursday anyway, and I am sure he needs to practice. 
Still no news on when the treatment portion of the removal will kick in.  As far as I know nothing has been accomplished since the abrupt (but overdue) removal a week ago today.  How's that for "the best for the child."  Way to go CPS.  Fortunately, I think he is fine there, probably resentful and feeling like the world has wronged him once again, but otherwise, I think he is probably OK.  I have emailed the people where he is, but haven't heard anything back.  Likewise with his caseworker.  So, I guess that is how it is going to be for now.  Awesome.  My favorite part is that he is 2 hours away, not receiving treatment, in an attempt to "show us".  Yup, that really showed me.  Dummy.  Showed me that people in the business of helping people occasionally just serve their own agenda.  Not always mind you.  I have met some incredible people as well, including our own case worker.  But then, there are the ones who seem to have just wanted a job, not this job.  And you know who is suffering because of it?  Not me.  I am great!  That makes me less of the good person I thought I was, but I am OK with that.  I am great.  The kid who is now 2 hours away confident that once again he was proven right, he is the one who will suffer in the long term.  Not me.  So, good job there bureaucratic bratty pants.  You really stuck it to that 11 year old child born into abuse.  Way to be, girl friend!  
As soon as I hear anything about anything I will let you all know.  In the meantime, if you are about to be on vacation, enjoy it!  I know I will love a week at the beach!  My niece Molly is coming with us too, and I am SO glad she accepted the invite, she is one of my favorite people!
