..."the middle of next week at the latest" actually means "maybe by the middle of the week after, if I get around to it."
..."by Thursday afternoon" doesn't even mean "by next Tuesday." I'll let you know what it does mean when I find out.
...returning phone calls is not part of the job description of CPS caseworkers in my town.
I wish patience could be supernaturally infused, instead of requiring me to face actual situations that make me impatient. Have I mentioned that I want this to be over?
argh.
still praying.
but I really hope that I get to take this item off my prayer list tomorrow? Thursday? Friday?
(Patience is not my strong suit - can you tell?)

Waiting on bureaucracy will take you to unpleasant places. I hope this resolves soon.

It's really too bad that "patience lesson time" (that's a saying around here..) has to be piled on top of everything else. Praying for you, not least that you will actually grow in patience!
