A very good friend of mine has said to me a time or two...."Don't judge me" when she may be indulging in a vice or two (or three). Well, this is Volume 1 of Lesa's "Don't Judge Me"!!!
We had an appointment with our social worker this morning, Maria Renee at 8:30 AM - so I got up at 6:00 AM to prepare - I cleaned the house (as best as I could around the live insects and bugs), got the girls and I cleaned up and then prepared them both for who was coming and why. Basically my instructions were "act like you love each other and smile all the time". I received a call from another adoptive mother who lives in our little community and she had just been in my house the night before - she called to give me a little advice - she told me it would probably be a good idea to remove the bottle of white wine on top of my refrigerator before the social worker arrived - (Don't Judge Me). I actually thought it was EXCELLENT advice and of course, it didn't even cross my mind. O.K. now I was completely ready for our visit!!
At 9:15 AM (yes, 45 minutes AFTER our appointment was to begin) I received a call informing me that our social worker would not be able to meet with us today and would call us later to schedule an appointment for Thursday - Albeit, this is typical behavior....I lost it!! I already had my translator in my house - my girls and I were actually clean and having this appointment was our best bet to get to the consejo this month. So immediately I searched the house for those little pills my doctor gave me that I take when I go to get my annual Mammogram - to calm me down - a generic form of Xanex and popped one (yes, just one) in my mouth - "Don't Judge Me"!!
I called my translator immediately to explain my frustration and apparently he knew immediately how upset I was because he cut me off and said he would take care of it - 20 minutes later, they arrived!! I know.....I am bad to the bone!!! ;D
The visit went great - we answered some very basic questions and I think our social worker saw a clear view of how our family interacts.....even when we are clean AND nice AND Mom is taking prescription drugs (Don't Judge Me)!!
Love and Blessings - Lesa
