Making Progress

It's all Up in the Air

So Myk and Cassie are back. So much for our no non-family living here. Although you could say Cassie is blood to Audrie. Anyway the PO told Myk that he would live here. He would not be homeless and then he UA's him. Myk passed his UA. Therefore we assume that Cassie is clean also. She looks clean and acts clean. That said......
The house rules are;
1. No drugs or usage here or anywhere. Myk fails a UA and they are gone.
2. This is a sober house so no alcohol here.
3. They both need jobs.
4. This is just a jumping point. They need to be working on getting their own place.
5. They will help with Audrie.
6. They will contribute and not make more work for us.
7. They will provide their own food and not sell their food stamps.

We'll see how it goes. But right now they are paying a lot of attention to Audrie and that is always a good thing. And she is paying a lot of attention to them. The first couple of days she almost ignored Nana and Papa and that kind of hurt our feelings. But then the newness wore off and now she is everyones' girl.

Non-Family Dinner

Tanya and the girls came over for dinner tonight. I don't know if that was their plan, but I knew I was feeding them since the middle of last week. We just had cheesy hamburger hot dish and good visiting. Adrianna and Audrie played and struggled with each other. Audrie no longer just lets Adrianna take things away from her. They are funny. Decided we would do it again next week.

Quiet

Audrie and I went to lunch with Mona, Barb and Fred yesterday. Took a few pictures. Mostly she covered her face. Said the flash was too bright. She sure likes dining with my friends though. She amuses them greatly. Fred said he was going to bring her some hand-me-down clothing from his granddaughter. Made my day. I know that Savannah has a lot of really nice clothes. And I love hand-me-downs.

Myk and Cassie made it over to see her. Myk has decided that he wishes to rekindle his relationship with Cassie so therefore he doesn't live here. Makes him homeless with her. And that is his choice. On a positive note neither one was high when they came over.

Dave has a first look appt for a job. Has some aptitude tests to take. He also has a possible line on working seasonal at the lake. And in the meantime we are doing all right.

Quiet; The Calm Before the Storm?

Myk came home on Monday. I dropped him off at DOC on Tuesday morning before work. He hasn't been home since then. I saw him briefly yesterday and talked to him on the phone. No news today. I am hoping that thisis not the ca,2

Audrie is growing, exploring and learning about her world. Now that she is up walking and climbing she is getting many more boo-boos. She also will not leave the cats alone so she almost always has a scratch on her.

Pallet Count

Brenda and I counted up the pallets from February. We unloaded 27 of them. Yeehaw. With most of them being in the last two weeks. No wonder I'm tired.

Myk is home. And the drama begins. He went to DOC today. He was also going to DSHS, but I have no clue if he made it there. I dropped him at DOC this morning so I know he made it there. I also know he talked someone into taking him to Cassie's to pick her up to come see Audrie. That was about four hours ago and they haven't made it here so.......
