The Blahhhs

Well this past week I seem to have come down with the blahhhs. It sucks. I have no engergy, feel depressed and have a cold coming on as well. I thought Sunday that I was just have some allergy issues, but as it turns out I'm definitly catching a cold, which I blame souly on Matt since he was sick last week. I went out Monday night for what was to be a drink with a good friend and it turned into afew drinks, dinner, dessert and another drink at another location. It was a great night, but I think I pushed it to much when I should have been home resting.
Last night I was in bed and asleep at 8:00, no joke 8pm and I was out like a light. And I slept through the night no problems. Today however I find I'm still feeling like I was hit by a brick, my head is spinning, my ear is starting to hurt and my throught is killing.
This is not a week to be sick. Saturday is the much anticipated Wyatt-Horspool wedding and I want to be at my best.
ON another note, yesterday I was home for lunch and the little girl I've written about in the past saw my car in the driveway and decided to come in. When I asked her why she wasn't at school she told me she ran away cause she was in trouble with the principal. I asked her if her mother knew where she was and she told me she locked the door on her.
I'm not really sure what to do anymore with this child. I feel some what responsible for her, yet she isn't my responsibility. I know that this girl is lacking the attention and care she needs, and I know she is lacking any kind of parent figure in her life, but how do I change that? I can't have her over all the time, it's not right for a child to be hanging around adults all the time, but I can't turn her away knowing what is going on in her life... is there an in between?

    You should call the Childrens Aid Society about a disclosure of neglect...

    Quite often they will work with the family to see where the gaps are... at least it will be brought to someone's attention-someone who has authority to put the child's welfare first
