I have a call into PO now to see if he wants to try to get difficult child held until the release date. See, difficult child had been given a 60 day sentence and this is about 2 weeks early. But as I told PO, it's fine for him to come home today because I can apply for more help from dss once difficult child is back under my roof. It just would have been nice to have more than 30 mins notice, Know what I mean?? Now I need to run and difficult child proof the house - which is a lot harder than baby-proofing a house.
Then, I double-checked the message to make sure they were leaving a message for the parent of MY difficult child and didn't confuse the phone number with someone else. They clearly said my son's name. I'm going to call the place he has been held and see if this is really the kid they are sending back to be released today.
Update: PO just called and said juvie had called him and said the judge can't give a 60 day sentence for detention for parole violations so the judge had ordered immediate release. You would have thought the judge would have sent an email to the PO or walked down the hall and told him wouldn't you? Anyway, difficult child sure got lucky on this one- if the judge had known before, chances are difficult child would have been recommitted to Department of Juvenile Justice instead of getting detention time. I bet he's ecstatic though right now. PO said he wanted to go over to juvie and talk to difficult child a few mins before I pick him up. I said good, that gives me a little time to difficult child proof the house. LOL! He said difficult child will be on house arrest. I said thank you....in a way, and PO LOL then.
difficult child can help with a yard sale this weekend- I'll just have to somehow try to make sure he isn't pocketing money from people buying stuff he's showing them.
Ok, major regrouping going on in my head right now!!
