Day Seven: Rain Rain Go Away....

Today was a fair day for Katie... she had some challenges with body pains when she would get overwhelmed in her school work... typical as was before we came here. It appears things are returning to "normal"... which is a good thing... we can't get to the root problems if we don't see them.

One of the 12 year old girls in the program with Katie (her name is Harriet) surprisingly lives 1 mile from our home, and her mom asked me today if I would be able to bring her home at the end of the day. I was hesitant because I had heard she can be verrrry combative... but I felt God was saying yes... so after signing several release forms, the plan was set. Katie was thrilled when she found out Harriet was coming home with us.

I wish the drive home had been as good as the day. It was raining hard here... and it took us 3 hours to get home. But the girls did fine in the back seat... actually keeping each other entertained... and although I heard a few complaints regarding sore tushies (mine was too), the drive was uneventful and we all made it home safely.

The first week is complete. I made it.

Someone show me to my bed. I have a very long SLEEP with my name on it somewhere on my pillow and I intend to find it this weekend.
