whirlwind...

Stuff is happening fast in our house lately.  The summer is flying by, the puppy is growing and Kingston is ever changing.

It's crazy at work, lots to do and thank God we are prepared for it.  Jerod and I are enjoying all of the good things that are coming our way right now, but we are keeping in mind that the storm is coming.  Sooner than later, because all of the ducks are in a row for us... In a few short weeks, the paperwork will be piling up and things will be set in motion.

While there has been drama lately, I find that I am not even surprised anymore... while I don't appreciate being called the 'C' word in front of my child and my neighbors - the classless mouth that it came out of will need to try a little harder to get under my skin.  I am not a doormat, I am not afraid to tell her to shut her mouth, and most of all, I am just tired of the piece of shit that she is.  I am not afraid to tell her that either.

Mother is a term that should be held in the highest regard.  Her lack of care for the girls kills me.  I take better care of the fish at our house than she does of her own children.  To be a real mom - you have to put the work in.  Buy them clothes, spend time with them, take them for medical care when they need it, have a moral compass... I could go on forever.  Most of all - LOVE THEM. She doesn't deserve them, and hopefully the judge and GAL will agree.

I have taken on so many roles in life and I take each one with a grain.  I love ALL THREE of my children, whether I gave birth to them or not.  I will support my husband forever in his mission to give the girls a better life.  They are part of my heart too.

Here is to the future and all that it holds.  May our stressful road ahead be a short one, with a little rainbow at the end.

e-files... finally

I decided that even though I stayed home from work today, because I am STILL sick - that the day would be productive... so I set out to scan all of the court docs and every shred of evidence we have from previous filings, current goodies, etc and make copies for all of the parties that need it... attorney, ad-litem, us, computer copy and a back up... I figured it would take me a few hours and then I could dig into some reading, and maybe do a sewing project or two if I felt up to it. HA!!

Not only did I not get it all done, but it took me literally all day just to get all of the filings scanned!  At least we are making progress... right LOL.

At least I made a make shift office in my corner of the couch with the scanner and my laptop while I coughed and sniffled my way through a good portion of the mess...

That is to say - until my OCD kicked in and I realized that I needed to update the physical file for the attorney too.  And that it all needs re-organized. Guess I will have plenty to do... in the afternoons and evenings!
