I haven't been around much lately. Just too much going on, and stuff I didn't really want to get into at all.
We rescued "i" from the clutches of CPS and bought him home. When they release him, it is into protective custody, so you can't just give him back to mom until CPS says so. The protective custody is for 72 hours while they sort things out.
R wanted to be bailed out, but I told her I had something more important to take care of, getting "i" taken care of. Mission Accomplished. We had him for the next couple of days, but we both work. Mrs A volunteered to stay home and take care of him. I told her I would do it, but she insisted that I go to work, and she stay home.
So she stayed home and took care of him. I love her so much for stepping up and doing this. He is not her biological offspring, but she has a big heart. By the end of three days, she was more than willing to turn loose of him. So was I. I love the munchkin, but I am getting a little long in the tooth to be raising an infant. Same for Mrs A. I just hope R understands just how much she owes Mrs A.
CPS in their usual arrogant irresponsible manner, accused R of all sorts of things and threatened her with taking "i" away from her. They lied about what we had told them, and generally terrified her. They let her know that if there was any hint of drugs they would be taking "i". She blames some of this on us, and seems to have lost sight of the fact that if it wasn't for us, things would not have turned out so good.
Mrs A is a little more than pissed that R can't seem to recognize how much we went out of our way to help her out. I can't say as I blame her at all.
Needless to say it has created a great deal of tension at Chateau Warren. Once again I am caught in the middle, trying to make peace and generally getting beat about the head and shoulders from both sides.
Oh well, it's not the first time, and probably not the last.

You and Mrs. A are doing a good and wonderful thing, and have at many times in the past. I hope R realizes that some day.
Sarah: I'm sure she will at some time, but I sure get tired waiting.
What matters the most is that 'i' was taken care of, and is safe. Here's hoping that "R" grows up quickly and realizes that she has to think of 'i' before herself.
She's come a long way, though.
Renn: We see signs, but of course are impatient to see her take responsibility for her own actions. She has come a long way, bit there is still a long way to go.
