| I just heard about Lauri on Facebook. I hope she is okay and continues to heal.
BarBar, you could think of something that John was known for and mix that with your name. I bet you will find something really creative for your new email address.
Barb, enjoy your vacation.
Theresa, sorry about the problems with the in-laws. Most police officers that I have met feel that all their neighbors think they should resolve every single problem in the neighborhood. They say that on their days off, they don't want to bother with things or get involved with neighborhood disputes, most are petty. I think you did good to call the police. If the neighborhood police officer got involved, you wouldn't have the documentation that you had to involve the police. I hope you get to feeling better. I know you've had a tough time of it.
Sharon, it's been awhile since I picked cherries. That is so fun. We need to take the GKs, hopefully, next year to the mountains to pick cherries.
We had to call DD yesterday morning as DGD was worry because the morning was getting old and Mommy wasn't there yet. Mommy promised she'd call as soon as she woke up so that we could pick her up. Per request from DGD I called Mommy. DD sounded asleep when I called and she said it would be about an hour, that was at 10:30am. Then, an hour and 40 minutes later she calls and tells me that they have to clean out the storage unit for her friend and wouldn't be long. It was almost noon. I had my laundry half done by then. Once I finish the laundry, I put sunblock on the children and pack them up to go to the nearby town to go to the kiddie swimming pool. DD called about the time I arrive in that town and I inform her where I was. She was upset and asked why I didn't call her and give her a chance to come to the swimming pool with the kids. I let her know that she knew about it and what time I was leaving and where we were going. She said it had only been 20-30 minutes. I informed her the exact times she called according to my cell phone and it had been one hour and 6 minutes. I also told her that it was not my job to make sure she was ready to come with us. The children have a life and she can choose to be in it if she wants to. This is a nightmare. She wanted to come today to see the children at 7pm. I told her I had a race this afternoon and there is no visitation on NASCAR afternoons. When I can talk to her, when the children aren't around, I am going to inform her that I will no longer pick her up for visitations and doctor's appointments. She can meet me in a neutral location and make arrangements to visit her children. This is the reality. She is going to need transportation, even though she states that she does not. Otherwise, these children have to get used to the fact that mommy and daddy aren't doing what they should to get them back. FBSS is going to be officially on the case next week. Once they get involved we'll probably be going to supervised visitation by the state at their agency, on Saturday, for 1 hour. The parents are going to have to adjust, the kids will have to adjust, and I will have to make the drive to the next town for this IF the parents are able to get a ride. Even if they aren't able to get a ride, I will have to show up to demonstrate to the state that I was willing and able.
Last night, I read the children Green Eggs & Ham and this morning they ate green eggs and ham. lol
*I have a questions. DGS urinated in his bed last night. His bed turns into a couch during the day. What is the best way to clean up a uring stain like that? I am ging to Walmart this morning to get him some plastic sheets to put on his bed until he gets better control over this. He pees his pants during the day, drinks alot and sometimes wets the bed. I have noticed a correlation between drinking juice and peeing a lot. The doctor checked his blood sugar and didn't think he has a blood sugar problem. Now, I am wondering if we should be checking it more often or if he just drinks and pees a lot. Anyway, any advice on cleaning a uring puddle/stain off my couch would be appreciated.
