I may have mentioned that we have 2 goats. They are doing a great job of getting the bushes down on part of our property. But, they do not like to eat grass. Our next door neighbors have a Mama horse and a colt. They like to eat grass. So, today they brought the horses over to romp in our back area and to graze. It is funny because both animals are herd animals, but our goats ran for cover...



They even leave fertilizer behind... Very beautiful and useful animals.

That is my sunny Saturday in Washington.

Branden-16, Billy-15, Anthony-6, Skyler-2. And there they are...

Sometimes
in life, you find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life
just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh
until you can't s top;

Someone who makes you believe
that there really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you that
there really is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

Yes I am. I am sitting here snickering because the boys father is catching it from the courts. They are really riping him a new you know what!!!

Why should this tickle me?? Well, since the man has refused to pay any support for the boys in several years, I feel it is justified!! So far they have just kept telling him to pay this amount and come back on this date. He had to fill out a financial statement and that is where he hung himself. The Judge stated that there were MANY discrepancies between what his record shows and what his statement shows. The Judge slapped his silly ass in jail!!! It was just for a short time, but that is OK with me.

Next month will make four years that he has not contacted the boys in any way. He doesn't seen to care or even think about how much that hurts them. Billy did have G-pa take him to one court date to get face to face with him. It didn't do any good. As I've said before, he sold him a sob story.

I am not sympathetic at all. I would like to ask if anyone out there is Type II diabetic??? Well this is his reason for not being able to work. I have never heard of anything so stupid. I care for a student at school with Type II and I can't keep up with her!!!

Today we received a copy of his latest order from the court. He has to pay $25.00 per month and make at least 10 job contacts per week. And he is fighting that!!! What does he think we are independently wealthy?? We are slowly sinking into a very deep hole!!! He has always stated that he would rather work under the table than pay child support. I think that is finally catching up with him big time. He is in the hole over $40 Grand!!!

And there you have my bitch for the day.

We had another blow up tonight. It started out with Terri and her brother Ray. Anthony and Skyler were not at all sure they liked that one bit. Anthony asked my why they were fighting. I just told him not to worry about it they were just brother and sister. He looked at me and said OH! End of questions. Now that was funny.

Then of course the boys had to defend their mother. Thankfully they took it outside. We were able to close the door and let them argue it out. I am hoping that hearing someone other than me saying the things that Ray was telling them, might just soak in. Oh I hope!!!

So, now we have had two nights with arguments. That is enough. I prefer a LOT less stress thank you.. I think it is really interesting that the adult children who don't have custody of their children are such experts. Wonder how come I missed that lesson. Maybe I don't think I want that lesson. After all you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Right??? OK, so for now all is quiet on the old hme front. Wonder what tomorrow will bring??

Good night for tonight. It is now 9:50PM and I am just plain wiped out.
