Home at Last
We left for NJ on the 24th of April, at 7 pm, and spent the next 26 hours in the van with two kids who behaved so well on the way home. I was so proud of them for being so polite and respectful to not only each other but to everyone else. On Sunday, we met T at church and heard her play the piano for the first time. Not bad for a beginner, she is doing well. So big!!! And GORGEOUS!!!! It is hard to believe that she is 13 and now a teenager. We went to lunch after Mass, and then to the boardwalk. The kids had a blast, and T won a prize at one of the games. All the kids got a prize and they had a great time. We also went and played on the beach. It was cold, but they had fun, and kept asking to play in the ocean, lol. Chasing the birds also topped their list of fun things to do. Afterwards, we met my g/f Tayrn and her crew for dinner at Pizza Hut, it was great seeing her and her crew. Her oldest son had his girlfriend with him, she seems sweet. Her middle son just got his permit, and her daughter, is gorgeous no matter what she does
On Tuesday, we had to go to court because T's dad wanted to reduce her summer visits with me from 2 months to two weeks. Unfortunately, everytime he opened his mouth, he inserted his foot. By the time we were done, he had been sufficiently degraded, and I got what I wanted, well, almost. He is on notice that if he does not follow the court order, then he could lose residential custody of T. I hope this time, he realizes I mean business.
The one thing that amazes me, is that I can be the easier, most compliant person in the word. I go out of my way to make life easy for my ex when he cannot see his kids, I went to Abeline and got the kids when his father in law was dying and he didnt know if he would make the weekend and wanted to be with his wife, and I put up with his comments and opinions about me and how I am raising our kids. But, push me to the wall, and I can be the biggest you know what, and everytime, I win. Everytime.
Ive done some really pretty rotten things in my life, although they probably pale in comparison with some people, but, I havent always made the right choices, but I do my best, and try to be better than I was the day before.
