by letting things lay for a few days it appears that I have accomplished the impossible and convinced Kim to let me take Caleigh..she has agreed to so far..

now is the time for me to be still...to be as quiet as a church mouse..

I accomplished this by using the some time I had that I tacked onto my 1st weeks summer vacation..I swapped 3 of my days for two for the beach trip...

being persistent and calm helped me..

I should be a hostage negotiator.
