The best of times and the worst of times

First the worst, I had a tooth pulled on Tuesday and it hurt, hurt, hurt. In fact like a big baby I screamed and then I cried. The Dentist was not pleased. Sort of like I insulted his skills. He is probably going to fire me. My mouth is finally feeling better. But much worse is that Casey just found out that she has gestational diabetes . Which explains why she has had such a difficult pregnancy and why the baby is so large

Now the best. I went to the orientation for my volunteer job. This is going to be a wonderful opportunity. To begin with we are the first group ever. We will be just like employees(without the pay). We will be assigned jobs and will do everything the staff does. We will go to court a lot. We will even go to the jail. We will have clearance tags that will get us in every where.We will learn everything about restraining orders. Apparently there are three kinds, domestic, civil and ?.There are only five people in our group.One lady is a retired attorney, one wants to change jobs and thinks volunteering is a good way to try it out. Then there is a 18 year old and the other lady came in late, so don't know her story.Training begins on the 21. Can't wait.
