I was supposed to be going on vacation on Wednesday to visit Colleen now that she is home from her deployment, but a couple weeks ago she and I decided to postpone my trip as she is going to be busy at work. Today it turns out that I would not have been able to go anyway so I am pretty thankful that Collen and I made the decision, rather than being told by work that I could not go. Today I did my first emergency removal and placement into foster care. It was sure not the way I expected to spend my day. It took over the entire day. I didn't eat breakfast or lunch and had to do a ton of paperwork for our attorney. A few people stopped by my office to tell me that I had done a good job, including the Director of DSS which felt really good. There were times that I started to second-guess myself today, but overall, I am confident that I did a good job today and definitely earned my salary! Plus, tonight there are children who are in a safe place and that is all that really matters.
On another note, tomorrow brings another doctor's appointment. Keep your fingers crossed!
