You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need.
This is the end of our first complete week of having primary physical custody of our children. In this case we wanted to improve the lives of our children, and we did. They are now in school, live in a clean roomy house, and are adequately clothed, fed, and given medical care.
The kids are not all cheerful about this change. The youngest is upset that she is spending so much time away from her mother, and that she has to go to school.
It is great to see them well cared for, but I somehow had hoped they would be cheerful.
