Best Part of the Day-
My husband (will call Will-O in this blog) left for Chicago for 1.5 days.  Ahhh, some space por moi.  To not sound like suuuch a beeeyatch, Will-O has been home bound for MONTHS after being hit by a drunk driver this past September (on his birthday, no less).  He broke 5 bones and suffered some soft tissue injuries.   So he has one more surgery next week and really is doing well with his recovery.  
So tonight I can spread out and do what I wish...Friday Night Lights--here I come.

Worst Part of the Day-
I have stated how much I love my job.  I work with "at risk" teenage girls.  They used to be called "wayward girls" years ago.  I now know they are simply girls who have wayward parents. Today I had to give counseling to a very sweet, smart, screwed up kid who recently disclosed her father has been having sex with her weekly for years.   (And I shook this man's hand when she first came to our facility...)  The majority of girls we work with have been sexually abused by a family member, so this is not terribly shocking (albeit abhorrent, maddening, vomit-inducing).  The kicker is that this girl stated today "I don't know if I can press charges, because then I will have no one.  He's still my dad and I love him and I want him in my life."  Ummmm. Whoa.   As humans we do whatever we have to do for what we view as acceptance and love.
