Happy Back to the Real World Post-Holiday Day! I had to set my alarm this morning. Last week, I woke up when the dogs woke me up but I need to get back onto a schedule, FWIW.
I have a busy day today. I am off to go food shopping and perhaps buy some "real food" instead of the junk we have been eating the past few weeks. I need to be back and unpacked so I can help Caitlyn with a phone conference call.
You probably don't remember, but a few years ago, Caitlyn reported a teacher who had been sending inappropriate texts to a couple of her friends. The police were brought in and he was charged with child endangerment and was fired from the school. The other day, Caitlyn got a subpoena as a witness to a hearing. The way I understand it is that it is our State Attorney General's office making the case that he should be stripped of his Teaching Certification.
Based on what I remember of the case that Scott was a witness in that was a criminal trial and was through the County Prosecutor's Office. This is the State, representing the Dept of Education. Maybe he pleaded guilty to the other charges? Hopefully, that part of the case is resolved.
At any rate, Cait has a phone appt with the Deputy AG to go over what she should expect at the hearing. She is really nervous and I think that this will help ease some of the anxiety. Before Scott had to testify, we met with the Prosecutor who went through all of the steps and showed him the courtroom and so on. Since this woman's office in Trenton- about 3 hours from me- they are going to do this over the phone.
She is somewhat regretting making the report, saying that she only wanted him fired but Gary and I tried to tell her that she needed to do this, to help other girls from having to have this happen to them too. Scott is helping her too since he had a similar experience when he helped his friend report that her stepfather was molesting her.
Doing the right thing isn't always easy.But I am proud of them both.
Yesterday was another day of wandering aimlessly through time. I am (very) slowly chipping away at things that need to get done/organized. I guess slowly in the right direction is better than nothing at all.
I wish you all a fun and happy day!
