DAY 2483

      January 11, 2012 

It has been 11 days into the New Year.  I am enjoying the spring like weather in January.   

I am attending family court just 2 times this month and I have a few clients visiting this week.

 I am glad to report that after a prolonged Family court battle since March 5, 2011 with the Hamilton Children’s Aid Society and Graham, and his son Devon Sweeney; Devon is finally coming home to be with his caregiver Paula.  I can’t believe he is 15 years old already. He will be home at the end of this month and out of the foster care/group home setting of Hamilton CAS.  

There were 3 birthdays on January 10, 2012.  

My friend Dianne turned 20 years old. 

 My step-daughter Jackie Allen turned 44 years old as well (Ed’s youngest daughter from his 1^st marriage).  

And finally Vinny Allen my step son is 18.  The last time I saw him at home was March 24, 2005.  He was 11 years old.  When you turn 18 you can legally vote in Canada, Ontario and in your municipality.  You are old enough to drive but not old enough to drink in a bar.  You cannot buy cigarettes either.  Vinny’s mother Marion RIP would have been very proud of her little boy that has grown into such a tall young man.  There is not a day that goes by that Dad doesn’t stop thinking about you.  Vinny is in my thoughts every day. 

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALL AND MANY MORE 

December 31, 2011 DAY 2472

I have been missing in action in my blog since October 4, 2011.

A lot has happened but I won’t ramble on about that too much.

I have been involved in advocacy and family court work continuously for the past three months with various clients in the communities of Hamilton, Windsor and Brampton.

I am not a lawyer I can only give advice and referrals to offer people alternatives and self help information.

Well there is only 3 hours left of the year 2011.

It was a quiet Christmas. I thought of Vinny and Paige today and wondered how their Christmas went.

I had a Christmas party on December 23, 2011 my second annual one. I invited Sandra, Joe and her two youngest children.

I invited Jackie, Eds daughter and granddaughter Jaiden and there was Ed, Peter and I there as well. In total we had 10 people hanging out from 7 until 10pm. We exchanged gifts and had great food and fellowship.

I am up early today as the cable guy came by to hook up the internet. That is such a relief.

We got a snow storm in the last two days. I fell on the ice yesterday and hurt my left knee. I am going to take it easy today and weekend and not walk too much.

I got some UGG boots; a two hundred dollar gift card for Fairweather’s clothing store from Ed, a pair of pajamas, a stuffed bear and two boxes of chocolate. I got three poinsettias and a silver tower tree and a chocolate cake from Jackie too.

I will be spending time at home this New Years Eve like I always do. There will be just Peter, Ed and I.

I don’t want to make another New Year’s resolution but I will anyways.

I will quit smoking,
I will go bankrupt,
I will get a driver’s license
I will have a career or start a career in law by going back to school in September.

I still want to get pregnant. We will see how the cards hold out for that this year.

We are here to protect children and families from the Children's Aid Society.
Thank you for your support!!
