Last blog was Purpose Driven Life Management. Why is it that some people don't manage their lives AT ALL! I mean, forget living successfully with fervor and purpose, what about just making it day by day!?
Today has been an "argh" (as Calvin would say) kind of day. Had a "client" come in to meet with my boss and I. (I say client in quotes because she is a pro bono case - free, simply because my boss is a great guy and feels sorry for her.) She is thin, very tan, very pretty. 21 years old. Has three kids - one is almost six. So she started very young. But that's not the end of the world - we all make mistakes. But come on, we know where babies come from!! It's NOT in the water, as they say! So anyway, she has lost custody of her two older children and gave her third up for adoption (a relief for me - good decision on her part). She wants her oldest child back with her, but now DHR is involved and they say she has an alcohol problem. She says she doesn't. Interesting that she says she doesn't, considering that she has gotten two DUI's in the past six months. I will cut her a little slack, one of the two, she insists was not alcohol-related - that instead she had taken medicine and had a bad reaction. So, really, only one true DUI (but still.....).....ARGH!
