Been wondering where I’ve been????
I’ve been asking myself the same question. It’s been a rat race around here lately.
Amanda broke off her 4 year relationship with Dustin and has moved out and into an apartment with her friend Tiffany. We found the apartment, packed, moved and unpacked in less than 3 days. In the meantime, we’ve tried helping Dustin with his broken heart as best we can and still maintain some distance. The first two weeks were a little hellish but it has since gotten better. We support Amanda 100% in this decision as I’ve actually wanted it for 4 years. But it’s still hard to see someone hurting.
It’s nearing the end of 1st quarter for school and the boys are both holding good and bad grades. Time for me to keep better track of them.
Amanda has been going through anxiety and today started seeing a doctor. But it’s all looking up, she’ already been taking some meds these past two weeks and moving on with her life has helped.
AJ’s stresses are always here. The constant pull between girl friend and mom I guess. Then he also works and school. Katie and AJ keep trying to take parenting classes so that takes up time as well.
Rori has been sick with a double ear infection.
AJ got served papers yesterday for the summons of paternity. It all looks very official and a lot of legal mumbo jumbo. Part of it is that he has no visitation established with Rori as far as the court is concerned. I’m confused because I always thought that Katie wanted joint custody, so I’m not sure where that is going. They are still together so I’m really confused. Waiting on a call from the courthouse right now.
The crap with the farm continues. I’ve recently requested bank statements from the checking account my Dad and I shared. The siblings think there is money to be had and they didn’t get any. Whatever! Once the papers are in front of them, it will be a huge slap in the face. Unfortunetly they didn’t think of the consequences of their actions when they called my lawyer to complain. When I die… damnit… I want it all sold and split 3 ways. Period. No keeping shit, no living in the house. A house is a house. I want no fighting and I won’t make any of my kids executor of the will. All you other relatives… you may not want to answer your phone as I will need to find someone for the job. Can’t we name some bank employee to do it? I have no clue.
The double crap with loser #4 continues as well. His lawyer was sick at the latest hearing so now we wait until next month as Dodge county only does this type of hearings once a month. Ah the pros and cons of not much legal activity in the county.
OH… and I started my job. I’ve been worrying about what to do about holidays this year as there are some issues I’m trying to deal with that concern ‘family’ and I have no idea how to pursue it. Long story that I need to editorialize soon. I am Christmas shopping. And I’ve been babysitting more hours on top. Fuck! my head hurts! It’s times like this that I want to hid in my room all day. I won’t but you have no idea how easy it sounds or how good. I’m just hoping that when things settle down I won’t crash. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Your schedule really worries me Please take care of yourself.
