Back again for just a few minutes...

Just spent some time adding some photos to my yahoo photo album and will share those with you ladies next week. I have a couple more I wanted to add that's on my roll of film and will finish up Sunday for Father's Day. They are mostly of the patio, fence and backyard, what all we have been doing but I did throw in a couple of recent ones of my big old self. :D And I do mean BIG, OLD self! :lol:

Anyway, best get to getting that garage done! Take care ladies :wave

Hi! We won second place on our pooper scooper. I have a lovely pink ribbon. It did rain for a time but not too bad. Happy B day Katy!! Thnak you for the card , Cristi!

I am on the run but wanted to say hello. My boss is gone this week and I have a ton to do. Below is what I posted today in my parents group, thought I would share it here for advice.
Thanks!









I would like some advice.

I found out today that Mike had his license suspended on Tuesday.

I also have been told by a domestic violence agency that Gaby should
not go with Mike considering his restraining order that was issued.
That I should obtain my own restraining order for Gaby because she was
present while he was acting out against the ex and daughter.

Blah - blah......

I guess I am confused about what to do. If he drives up do I let her go
with him? Knowing he is driving illegally? What if he gets stopped and
the car is impounded? Is that any of my concern? Of course if he has
Gaby with him it would be a concern.......
Do I call the police so they can greet him ?? lol......jk on that one,
though it has crossed my mind. I am pmsing after all.

My mom was against the restraining order. Timewise I can't get it done
by tomrrow. If a judge grants it I am fine with it. He shouldn't be
acting that way in the first place.

Though it is Father's Day weekend (what a wonderful daddy he is!! and
grandpa too!! wooo hoooo *cough *cough) and Saturday is his birthday.

So, what do you all think?

I have told my lawyer over and over about the restraining order and he
makes no comment. Though if Mike shows up without a valid license and I
dont' let her go am I in contempt of court??

Would he even dare bring it up with the courts to get me in trouble??

"Oh, ya judge I was driving with a suspended license because I didn't
pay CS and I had a restraining order issued so I can't see my other
daughter for a year....*sniff*......and I really wanted to celebrate
Father's Day *sniff *sniff.....with my baaaaaaby......*sniff*.....

Ms. Judge...."Why Mr. Mike!!!! What a wonderful daddy you are to take
such risk!!! You will never be in trouble......but Ms. Susan......to
jail you go!! lol

Quick post....

Been extremely busy running around getting up to Eugene for dental appt. and for Jhanai's school. She had her 5th grade graduation ceremony. It was so cute!!


Ok...
Susan--Your post had me in wonder! There is NO way a judge could possibly ok Mike driving around w/Gaby w/no license. That is called "child endangerment!" Or stupidity on the judges part if he ok'd it!
Also...if he already has a restraining order against him...would that ALSO be considered child endangerment for letting Gaby go? I say "Yes" So Gaby should stay home w/her momma!!

Ok...so I'm not the judge and you can't just keep her home, but my instincts would be to keep her home and then tell Mike "we'll talk to the judge together about this and see what he has to say about you driving around w/your little girl w/no license" He probably doesn't have insurance either!

Well, I've said more than I probably should have but Susan...go w/your gut instinct and keep her home.

Must get moving! Chat more next time.

Hi Marti,
I am not going to say a word. I am going to make plans for Gaby to stay at her babysitters tomorrow and he misses out on visitation.

You would think it would be a no brainer but below is a post I wrote after talking with an attorney. I am still waiting to hear back from my lawyer on this. Because I do remember Mike having a threat of license suspension at the time when the visitation was ordered and the judge just said he could show up as a passenger in a vehicle and I would have to let her go.......like I would let a total stranger drive my child 80/90 miles.

Miss you!! Hope to catch up over the weekend!






I also talked with an attorney whose services I get through my
employer and she said unless it says in the order that he has to be
properly licensed I need to let her go with him. *WhatEVER*

Also, she says unless he threatened my daugher the restraining order
doesn't matter, I need to let her go with him.

Because something about having a restraining order doesn't mean a
crime has been committed.....

These are some pictures of Pippin, the play we just finished...arghhh I hate my picture...

Hello Everyone

Cristi, you are such a sweetie! How can we not love you even more! I opened my mail box saw the colored envelope and seeing your hand writing knew it was from you and it was a get well card....

Susan, *sigh Im sorry but I am so happy I am not you. Cause how I feel reading what you write makes my heart ache, so I figure it has got to be 100 x more worse for you...sending you strength girl! And give Gabby big kisses and bear hugs from me.

Cristi, just finished Metro Girl and laughed...gawd I love Janets style. Just bought Black Eyed Peas Monkey Business CD..love it...not as well as their first one though Elephunk. But deffenet grooving tunes.

Went to see Brandon's pediatrist...$400. gone. Had bought ortho inserts last year,,,costing me $800. no insurance for those...*sigh and had to get special ones made but half the price,,,nice but still have to pay. Brandon's got exzema bad on his big toe,,,more cream,,,more $ and its looking like he may have another ingrown toenail,,,I have to say this he has got the ugliest feet ever! Not even his mother can stand to look at.

Well I should get to bed....night all

Susan--I just don't understand the system. He was threatening another "child" don't they get it?? I will pray that things start getting better for you soon.

Angie--Great pictures! You all look like you're having so much fun!

Oh my...I just wanted to pop in really quick before I head to bed. I can already hear the birds singing!! And tomorrow is my early day!

Night!

Angie - omg, you don't look your age AT ALL!! What's your secret? Thank you so much for sharing that - it's really cool!

Cristi - glad you're getting the old washer and dryer out of the way. Our extra refrigerator in the shed broke down yesterday or the day before. The good news is, it didn't have much in it. We mainly use it for water, popcorn on the cob until we shell it, fruit and veggies in season, etc. When I have a party, it gets filled, but haven't needed it much since Memorial Day. I just hate to spend $$ on a new one for out there and may see if I can find a good 2nd hand one. Yikes, we just bought a new freezer!

Susan - the things going on in your life have to be so very hard on you, and I wish I could help in some way. (((HUGS)))

Marti - how's the dental work coming along? You'll feel so much better when you get all fixed up, but that doesn't help much in the meantime. Hope you get some rest, sweetie.

Well, I'm going swimming with Mary and her 3 today. Gotta get some things done around the house before then.

Hope you have a good day and a good weekend!!

Yikes... Sorry i missed your birthday Katy... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!
