Oct. 31, 2004--*hic*

Oh my. I'm listening to Satch and feeling no pain. Jeremy left for a weekend Halloween party in Columbus so I called my friend Sheila after he left. She came over and we took her little son trick-or-treating in E.Palestine. It was fun! Then we dropped him off at his grandma's and went to a bonfire. It was awesome! It's a cold crisp night here in Mahoning County Ohio and it was perfect to be outside drinking and talking to people I haven't seen in ages. I drink about 3 times a year, and this is my second for the year, I still have Christmas. hehe Anyway, I had 3 vodka and iced teas and I'm feeling no pain. I realized I haven't relaxed for 3 months. I'm a happy drunk, and now I'm here trying to blog. lol I hope you all have a safe Halloween and if you drink *hic* please don't drive! My parents were killed 9 years ago by a drunk driver so please don't drive drunk. I'm hosed, I'm leaving. TTFN!

Oct. 28, 2004--all is well

Oh my, haven't blogged in awhile. Life is pretty much back to normal. No news on when the trial will be, it's been postponed indefinetly for some reason. It could be because Amber was seen in Washington, D.C. last weekend at Gallaudet University. If she doesn't show up for the trial, the charges will be dropped. I can only hope.

Have a great and safe Halloween kittens!

Oct. 11, 2004--greetings!

Oh my, I didn't realize I left my readers hanging, it's been a week! Anyhoo, The Puppy Couple and I brought Jeremy home on the 4th. We went to the bondsman Saturday the 2nd, and gave him all the money we had, signed our lives away, lol and signed all the paperwork. Monday morning the bondsman called and told us he posted the bond at 8:30 am, we could pick Jeremy up at 12:30. We were at the jail by 12, but they said the bond had NOT been posted. We called the bondsman back and he said they were just being lazy by not putting the paperwork through. The jail said they knew nothing, come back at 4:30! (Why was I not surprised!?!) We went back to the girls house where they had a feast waiting (turkey, dressing, pies, potatoes, veggies, bisquits, gravy, the works) and just waited. We called the jail at 3 and they said yes, come at 4:30 pm. Hallelujah! We got there but I was waiting for them to say nope sorry, mistake or snafu or some such thing, but at about 5:15, Jeremy walked into the waiting area and was hugged madly! lol The bondsman was there, he took Jeremy's pic, shook hands all around and we thanked him profusely for his help. We got more cooperation and kindness from him in 2 days then I got from the Mahoning County jail or police for over 2 months! I didn't really feel safe until Jeremy was in the car and we were on the hour drive back to the girl's house. Once there, he chowed down, (poor kid must've been starved for decent food) and talked for hours. We got home late, but I felt so much better and so does Jeremy.

He didn't sleep for 2 days straight when he first got home, it seemed hard for him to relax. Now he's fine and so happy to be home! He said "Mom, you didn't give up!" and I said "I told you I wouldn't." It was all worth it. His attorney (who is also the bondsman's attorney) said there is no physical evidence, it's just a question of credibility. 20 people have said they will give a statement or testify on Jeremy's behalf! Bless you all! I've never been to an actual trial, though I watch them on Court TV all the time as I try to see how the system works. I hope it does in this case, as I know in my heart that sometimes it doesn't. Jeremy is a good kid, but he's scared off dating ANYONE for a long time. He justs wants to get through the trial, get a job and have a life.

Again, thanks to all my online and offline friends for everything, you guys rock hard core!!!! I couldn't have made it through this ordeal without you! Now we just have the trial to get through. I'll keep you posted on what happens. Jeremy asks that I thank you all too, he was amazed at the outpouring of help and donations I got. We both now have some inner peace as we gather our strength for the battle ahead. Bless you all from the bottom of out hearts!!!

Oct. 4, 2004--oh my

He's home. Details tomorrow, I'm exhausted. Thanks to all who helped with thoughts, prayers, strengthening comments to me, donations, emails, ecards, words of encouragement...you guys rock. I never forget a kindness...just as I never forget or forgive a wrong. Especially to my child. For now, I am at peace, my son is home and everything is right with the world.
