Another Day In Court

So, the ex-DIL did it again.  She had an emergency hearing to try to limit DS’s parenting time to four  hours supervised.  And again….she FAILED.  This time was more interesting as she had “witnesses” try to make DS out to be violent and liable to go off at any moment.  Heard from her parents mouths that they consider DS a “sperm-donor”.  Yep.  That’s right.  They are all real winners. 

For her trouble, she now gets to drive all the way downtown to a company that speciallizes in parental exchanges to drop off and pick up the kids.  No more driving 5 minutes to her parent’s house.  Idiot.

Am I angry?  Hell yes!  Am I grateful?  Damn straight!  God was in that courtroom. 

I’m soooo over all this drama.  I have enough drama in other areas of my life, I don’t need this too.  Praying this is done now.

Home Again

I’m home from Breakaway now.  It went really well and most ladies liked the different format and the different venue.  I forgot to take my camera, but several ladies got pictures of the deer on the property and even hand fed a few of them.  A good time was had by all and much was learned as well.

First Fill

I had my first lap band fill last wednesday.  It has been quite the adventure the last few days.  After going a month with only throwing up once, I threw up twice in one day.  Sorry….tmi.

I found out my band will hold 10cc of saline.  I’ll never get it that full according to the P.A..  However, the first fill was 4 cc’s.  Almost half!!!  I’m supposed to be able to eat about a cup of food at a time once I’m filled all the way, but I’m barely getting in half a cup before it starts to hurt and I throw it up.  It’s ok right now, but I do have to measure carefully and eat slowly and STOP when I feel full. 

The band is doing exactly what I wanted it to do for me.  It is keeping me from being hungry and it is forcing me to eat smaller portions.  I am very happy with it.  This first fill is a little tough, but so worth it in the long run.

Court…..Again

Or should I say still?  If my son ever gets done with all his court dates it will be a minor miracle.  Yesterday instigated yet another court date.

Monster woke up early and it irritated my son who works until 11  p.m.  She cried that she wanted to go home.  More irritation.  She calls her mom and says she wants to go home, son says no that’s not going to happen.  Ex-MIL shows up and tries to take kids by force.  Physical fight ensues, cops are called.  Now both are named as complainant and defendant in separate disorderly conduct charges.  ARGH!!!!!!!

Ghosts of Christmases Past

Yes, a ghost from the past has reared it’s head.  It’s not all bad, but it is definately not all good.  I’m tired of feeling like Leah.  If you don’t know the reference…..don’t worry about it.  You’re probably better off.  I however, am fighting off bitterness and more depression.  I can’t even blog about it yet, if ever.  I wish I had someone to talk to about it, but nope, don’t have that luxury either.  This sucks.
