Ok our story starts on Wednesday I went to a conference call between all the social workers. They talked about the adoption stuff and what we still needed to get it done. Well need less to say the lawyer thing came up again and the social worker over in WI said that we should afford a lawyer since we get paid to take care of Mathis. She implied that we use this money to take trips and spend it on anything but Mathis. She doesn't understand that we live 4 hrs from his specialty doctors and have to go down there monthly to see them. Its like we are neglecting the kid or something.

Thursday: It was about 12:30 when Mathis OT came out to work with him. Mind you she was 1/2 hr late getting here. Well she asked Tobi where he got the marks on his face from Tobi said "Daddy got me." I quickly told her that it was rug burn. Well about a hour or so passes and I get a knock on the door. It is the sheriff asking to see and talk to Tobi. Tobi doesn't want to talk to him because he had on sun glasses and was bent over. So I explained that they were playing on Wednesday night and they got a little to rough with each other. I was asked several times if James beat me and I told him no. I found it funny that the sheriff didn't want to look in on Mathis while he was here.

So Friday comes and I get a call from the social worker that she would like to come out and ask some questions and talk with Tobi. Again Tobi only talked about what he wanted to and didn't say anything to her. She asked the same questions the sheriff did and I told her the same thing and that is was a big misunderstanding. This social worker also talked with the foster parent social worker and foster parent social worker told the other one that if we said thats what happened then thats what happened since we have always been open with them. The social worker said that she was just doing a check up and no file will be made on this so we will not have any problems with the adoption. 

I know James and I lost some sleep over this one. It really makes me mad that this OT person didn't ask me more questions and did this to our family. Needless to say she will never be out here again.

We did some extra special things for Tobi even though I don't think he knew what was going on. 

This was my week from hell. At least the weekend was better we went to Itasca State Park on Saturday. We all had fun. It was nice to get away for a day and just have fun. Sunday after church we went to the Movies with Tobi it was his first time there.

Now for the weight end of things since it was such a rough week I gained a pound. I was stress eating. I knew that I shouldn't be doing that but I just couldn't control it. So I am back at it today and so far so good. I need to get some exercise in today but figure that once supper is over I will go for a walk maybe a few times around the development. 

Here is to hoping for a better week, good weather for driving in, and for Mathis' surgery to go well.
