Six of one 12 dozen of another

Standard

CAS Presenter:  CAS is trying to change our image to a more positive one.  For instance:  If a mother is having her children apprehended because of a lack of heat in the home, we’re doing our best to give her the option of where the children go.  To an aunt’s, or a good friend – that type of thing.

Angela:  If the only problem in the home is the parent’s inability to pay the heating bill, wouldn’t it make more sense – both monitarily and for permanency of the child – to pay her $100+ a month heating bill rather than spending $1800+ a month to put the children in care?

CAS Presenter:  Uh…

This is why my days with CAS are numbered.

About Angela

My name is Angela, but I answer to Ang, Andrea, and Mommy. I am 42 years old, but somehow feel both 26 and 149. Sometimes at the same time. I love Jesus, but hate at least 2/3rds of the humans He created. I consider myself a good wife but a lousy housekeeper. I love being a mother but don’t particularly like children. Quality time and sarcasm are my Love Languages. Yes! You absolutely can drop by, provided you give me 15 minutes to panic-clean and put on pants. I know that 1 in every 33 births result in multiples. I know that gap narrows to 1 in 12 for subsequent pregnancies. I know this is why my tubes are cut, burned, and tied. Not today, Satan. I can recite the entire script of The Princess Bride, (including accents) and believe that the meaning of life is contained within. Birth stories, theDodo.com, and Soldiers-returning-home videos make me happy-ugly-cry. Being interrupted, a poorly made bed, and that Christmas Shoes song make me want to punch somebody. I’m an extrovert with crushing social anxiety. To deal with stress, I crack jokes. They will be awkward and make the situation 10x worse. I can whistle and hum at the same time, but I cannot touch my toes. I look grand in orange, red, and pink, but rubbish in yellow and blue. I am a writer. I have a dog named Henri. I have a brother named Adam. They are not related. I am slightly neurotic. No I’m not. Yes I am.

    • Simplicity is, I’m sad to say, far too underrated.

      People would rather take 10 steps and pay $1000 instead of taking 1 step and paying $100.

      Very frustrating.
