SPAL: It wasn’t long ago that I’d walk into the spare room and check on Glowstick. There were times I’d make myself comfortable under a spare chair in that room to keep watch over him.
HB: Yeah. Me, too. I kept watch over him, too.
SPAL: You did not.
HB: Did, too.
SPAL: Not.
HB: Too.
SPAL: Whatever, stupid.
HB: Pansy!
SPAL: ***He raises his paw*** Talk to the paw, stupid. *** He turns to look at the nice people*** Anyway, I feel robbed right now.
HB: Me, too.
SPAL: The state got involved. Morons! That’s what Mummsy calls them.
HB: Yeah. Morons! I shouldn’t have been nice to that lady. I should’ve bitten her ankles and chased her away.
SPAL: They told her to send the baby back to Manatee County so a case could be opened there.
HB: Even though Mummsy filed for Temporary Custody.
SPAL: Now she can’t follow through with it because the baby’s not in this county. Glowstick is back with his mother, Tinkerbell.
HB: She’s a moron, too.
SPAL: Shhh! Don’t let Mummsy hear you say that. Tinkerbell’s her daughter.
HB: So, she’s still a moron.
SPAL: Anyway, Mummsy’s on pins and needles because its just a matter of time before things blow up again. And Mummsy didn’t want to have to put Glowstick through the system or suffer in anyway. So that’s the latest.
HB: We miss the little poop-stink.
SPAL: Yeah. We do.
Oh, no. Hugs. Lots of hugs.
ReplyDeleteTonja,
DeleteIt's a freaking mess.
He's so cute....
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to do next, Shelly? Can't you get him back?
Norma,
DeleteMore than likely, he'll be back. Pasco DCF were all for the baby staying here. Manatee county was another story. But Pasco had to go by what Manatee dictated.
What a mess!
ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder what the state will have to say for themselves when the whole thing blows up even worse....
Right now, the best I can do is to go down there as much as possible to keep an eye on him and her. Next week, I'm planning on him coming up here for a couple days.
DeleteOh dear. Sounds like Glowstick is going to grow up to be a novelist too!
ReplyDeleteGlowstick will have lots of stories to write. That's for sure.
DeleteI'm sorry, Shelly...huge hugs go out to you, and my prayers are with you. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. He's back with his mother? I hope she's looking after him...and that she isn't still using.
ReplyDeleteMy heart feels for you. I'm having a hard time figuring out why they would allow Glowstick to go back to his drug using mother...if anyone can explain that without it going totally over my head, then I'd love to know the answer.
Good luck, Shelly... :o(
Manatee county wanted the case. I believe it all has to do with funding personally.
DeleteSo sad about this, guys )^;
ReplyDeleteYes. Very.
DeleteI'm so sorry Shelly! Lots of hugs! I hope you can get him back soon. I hope he is OK. I'll keep him and you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI know it is hard. I know how much hurts; I've been there. When I divorced my ex husband overseas, he ran off with my son and I haven't seen my son for 14 years now (he is now 17 years old). I can relate to the loss, the frustration, the desperation, the pain, the emptiness,etc. I wish I could do something for you. The State in so many cases always does the wrong thing; they are tied to procedure when in a baby's case they should have some heart! They should be worried about the safety and welfare of children. If you need anything Shelly, just let me know. And if you want someone just to listen, I'm here. Take care of yourself, be patient and hang in there. It won't be easy, but don't give up. We are all behind you.
Thanks, Lena. I know you all are.
DeleteGlowstick is a cutie and is lucky to have you. Will be keeping you in my thoughts through this and fingers crossed that everything works out for you.
ReplyDeleteI just want my grandson to be safe and okay.
DeleteHey Shelly! I'm not too far from you--over in Hillsb. county. I'm sorry to hear of your mess here. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteLike I told Gossip-Girl, I just want my grandsone to be all right.
DeleteI'm in Pasco County.
Oh no, Shelly! I'm so sorry to hear this... it's just not fair!
ReplyDeleteHang in there... I'm sending you positive vibes all the way across the blogosphere---------- whoosh-------------
(((Love and hugs)))
Thank you, Michelle.
DeleteSending you my prayers.

Thank you, Sarah.
DeleteSo sorry to hear that the case went against you. Stay strong and give those two, Sir Poops and Hairball a cuddle from me.
ReplyDeleteSir Poops and Hair Ball are great. They're the best buddies anyone could have even though they argue with one another.
DeleteAs for Gloestick, all we can do is pray all will be well. But my doors will stay open for him.
So sorry to hear about the case. Hope Gloestick turns out okay. Sir Poops and Hair Ball are hilarious!

All we can do is is pray fro Glowstick and the true reovery of my daughter and then wait.
DeleteAdorable pictures!
ReplyDeleteThis must be so stressful for you, Shelly. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteAw, Shelly. How hard for you. *hugs* He looks great in those pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sylvia, Christina, and Donna. Just keep them in your prayers.
ReplyDeleteSounds like tough times. You're in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteFamilies are not the way they are meant to be nowdays. Once, everyone stayed in the place they were born. Now, some families live on the other side of the world. Chin up. As you say, maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about this. Praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Shelly. Lots of hugs coming your way.
ReplyDeleteWow. I know this has got to be tough.
