nutty

I was so glad it was Friday yesterday....at about 5pm that is!

We are still awaiting my mother in law's biopsy results. She sees the doctor on Monday. Her job has already put her on full disability until the end of the year. In the meantime, we found out Wil's great uncle in St. Louis passed away this week, so she will be travelling up to that funeral over the 4th.

Thursday I interviewed for a contract job--a one time a week, 1 hour, group therapist gig for kids that have been sexually abused. One of my old work buddies passed my resume along to her boss (THANKS). Although nothing is in writing, the interview went well, and I was even invited to the 3 hour training I would need to attend. In saying goodbye the woman stated "I will see you later." So it's just a matter of placing me with the right group from the sounds of it. A couple extra hundred dollars a month is nothing to sneeze at...especially since we will need to be looking at replacing Willy's wheels this year yet!

Had my last session with that mom I was worried about. It was a tough one! She is really making progress, just hoping enough seeds were planted and watered during our time together. It was a great growing time for her...but it was also a great learning one for me as well! I will miss sitting on the floor sipping tea. What a strange and wonderful cultural counseling experience. The good news: because of this situation, our agency is evaluating how we can fill the gap for these moms and so we are now trying to collect data to create a new program to serve this type of client. That is the amazing thing about my supervisor/agency. For all the frustration, there is a silver lining (at least).

My mom is *hopefully* awaiting an offer on her house...all these young couples trying to get loan approval...say a prayer that the bank will approve them so she can get herself down here and enjoy our wonderful Texas summer (hehe).

That's my week in a nut shell. I'll post some pics later =)

Peace.
