Of COURSE Cookie's mom is moving into housing tomorrow... the last business day before what would be the last court hearing. Still no job or transportation, but the housing she wanted.

I honestly have to wonder if anyone will mention that she could've been having unsupervised visits for the last 2 months if she would've agreed to go to a different housing situation that would allow her children rather than hold out for one with fewer restrictions. The one she could've had 2 months ago would've meant not seeing her boyfriend (not the father of the soon-to-be-born baby) for the first 30 days and not speaking to him more than 5 mins/day. That wasn't really worth moving forward with seeing her daughter more. With this housing, she can see him whenever she wants and has nobody to answer to.

Of course, the judge seemed very firm that he wanted unsupervised visitation to start before this hearing. I wonder if everyone's going to agree to extend the case. Because, ya know, mom needs more time and is "making progress". Ugh...

Mike and I are looking at selling the car to finance a trial. We'll wait until after the hearing to see if they're going to extend the case (and therefore push out a potential trial date) or not.

I leave on Monday for court on Tuesday and then return on Wednesday.

We'd appreciate being put on any prayer chains you can put us on in the hopes that Cookie's case will not be extended and she will have permanency and stability with the next hearing.
