Metro just called me back. Not only has my purse been found, they got someone to deliver it to downtown right away (it normally takes a day or two), and it is waiting for me at the Metro Lost and Found desk.

I can breathe again.

It’s been super busy at work, but I’m not complaining at all – actually, I’ve really enjoyed it! I’ve been there long enough now that I’m starting to get in to the cases, learning the background, digging through the files and getting in to the thick of things. I enjoy that part of the work a lot. Things like filings, motions and so forth are also becoming easier as I get back in to the groove, which is a great feeling.

Speaking of other good feelings, Jason called yesterday after school and told me where he had put my credit card. I was in his room. I didn’t yell at him because I knew that would serve no purpose – I want him to understand that telling the truth will keep him from getting in a ton of trouble. Not that there won’t be some sort of punishment, but on the phone wasn’t the place for it. Instead I thanked him for telling me the truth and I told him that I appreciated that. This weekend we’ll have a longer discussion about the whole thing.

I’m still setting up the spyware and the wireless keyboard and mouse. I wasn’t even mad on Sunday night – I was sad. Sad that I have to do this, sad that while I thought that he understood and wouldn’t do it again he did. But no matter what, he’s a wonderful kid. Really, I couldn’t ask for a better child and I want to do whatever I can to help him through this. I think with lots of love and support we’ll come out ok in the long run.
