The boys came home this morning. They’re in pretty good spirits, and that’s always a good thing. Lizze and I are exhausted from the week’s events, and if the kids are in a good place, we’re all the better for it.

We may be going to my grandmother’s condo tomorrow to help with whatever needs to be done there. I don’t know anything for sure yet.

The main mission I have, at this point in time, is getting our lives back on track. I wish I knew how to do that, but we’re going to have to figure things out as we go.

We have an entire summer ahead of us, a birthday next week and a ton of work that needs to be done so we can one day move to a safer neighborhood.

I envision a quiet weekend if possible; so we can be as recovered as we can be for the new week.
