Sorry I've been so quiet lately. Just so much going on. I can barely keep up with life these days. We are just beginning to fight this legal battle. We had to fire the lawyer. We're less than a week from preliminary hearings and he showed us just how big of an idiot he is. It was just something we couldn't deal with and we cannot take the chance and put my husband's future in this guys hands. So.....We had to find another lawyer. I knew of a semi decent one about 25 miles from here. We went and talked to her this morning. She has agreed to take the criminal aspect of the case and was at least honest in telling us we needed to find a civil rights attorney for the other. I am thankful she was honest about not knowing a lot about civil right laws. So anyway, there was a matter of pay. Well we're so damn poor right now we couldnt buy a loaf of bread. I am working 18 hours a week online and have picked up a few hours a week working for an ex judge. Hardly enough to call a paycheck. So she's hired me to come into her office and work four days a week. So now I have three jobs. I will only be paid half my wages and other half she will put toward our legal bill. Lord help me. My health both emotionally and physically, has to be put on the back burner. I've got some rat killin' to do and I need to be well to do it. I'll be putting in about 60 hours a week. I know I can do this. I see the road out of this mess now. It's just a long and windy one.
