Well it’s been a while since my last entry and so much has come into play. My children and I have been doing more things together. They started going to church and enjoy it very much. They go with my niece Chantal. It is a good church and I really like the woman who picks the kids up. I have heard nothing but good things about her. I have been teaching them a bedtime prayer and trying to get them to say it every night. Lexis loves saying her night time prayer with me and her brother, Caleb only likes saying his when it is just me and him. I’m thinking of maybe going to church every Sunday. Maybe it will help me get through some of things I’ve been going through and thinking about. I am almost done with my job. I have until the second week of April to find another which is going to be hard considering jobs are few and far between in this area.
Everyone whom matters knows that I have been thinking of moving to Henderson to be closer to my boyfriend whom is the GREATEST EVER!!! I Love My Baby SOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUUUUCHHH!!!! I have had to deal with a lot of things here lately some in which I should not be dealing with and to those whom know me and have known me for a while know whom and what I am talking about and if you don’t know it is Shawn. Yes, I said Shawn. It seems as though he does not like the idea of paying child support nor wanting to sign all of his rights over. Of course when he got the papers Friday in the mail he came to my house infuriated. No, I did not answer the door. I seen him when he was walking through the breezeway of my apartment complex and I knew that if I had opened that door I would end up calling the police for him either showing his tail by tearing things up or trying to get my kids or other things. He supposedly wrecked his car again two weeks ago so I knew he was not alone. I didn’t see whom he was with and sure as hell didn’t want to find out with me and the kids being here by ourselves in case something was to have happened I wanted someone (another adult preferably with a vehicle) here with us. I however did answer my phone when he walkie-talkie me. Thankfully I recorded most of the conversation so nothing could be said. I ran out of tapes so I am not answering anymore phone calls from him until I get more. He left a message on my voicemail stating he had me a money order for the transmission. It was $50. I called him back only to find out that it was not about a money order it was indeed about the child support papers he had received in the mail. The conversation was only about money, he never once asked about the kids, how they were doing, or anything remotely pertaining to their welfare. It did however pertain only about him not wanting to go to court about paying child support; this is how I look at it. It has taken him almost 7 months to pay me $90 that he owes me out of over $700 that he still owes me for that transmission why on earth would I trust him to pay any child support voluntarily without it being taken out of his check. That is the only way I received child support before. I eventually told him to mail me the money order. I have yet to receive it.
I received another bunch of papers Saturday but it was the same as the ones I received Friday. So 10 to 1 he received another copy as well which will only infuriate him even more. I am going to lay low with my kids for awhile so nothing will happen to any of us. He doesn’t know where they go to church and the church knows that only me and my sister is allowed to come pick them up if they need picking up. They know what I and my sister look like and they also will ask for a picture I.D. This is why I like Lexis daycare because only certain people as to whom I have hand picked to be on the list can pick her up or drop her off. They too have to provide a valid I.D. or Lexis goes nowhere and I am notified. So I am not worried too much when she and they are at daycare or at church.
I do have some good news along with of course some more bad news. Shawn’s’ soon to be ex sister-in-law is now moving into the apartments over here. I got to see my nieces and nephew Saturday (as to which I have not seen in years). They have grown up so fast and gotten so big, unfortunately Brad and the others know that she lives here and I know there will be trouble as soon as they come over here (she lives right across the parking lot). Oh and let me not forget that I finally got to see my Sissi Liz and my other niece and nephew Saturday as well. We had a blast. I have missed them terribly considering it has been almost 7 months since I seen them last. I saw her new truck, it is awesome. Oh how we have missed them. We used to hang out twice a month but considering how much has changed we have not had the time nor financial resources to see one another. The kids played at the apartment for awhile, and then we went to the park for a few then we went to McDonalds to eat and let them play in the playhouse. The kids had a ball. Afterwards Liz took me back to Kim’s’ house so I could finish doing laundry. I miss the old days and can’t wait for the summer. We are supposed to go to Liz’s’ house and have a cookout and swim (like we normally did when we went to her house).
I have not heard from Shawn since Friday. I called him from Kim’s’ house today to see if he would bring me the money order so I could go get my prescriptions filled as well as my kids some medicine because Lexis has a really bad cough and Caleb is starting to get one. I left a message on his voicemail stating that I needed the money just for that. It is Thursday April 5, 2007 and I have been out of work since yesterday. I finally went to the doctor today. She said it is just a virus and to keep doing what I’ve been doing and to make sure I take my prescriptions. Jesse (my boyfriend) has been sick longer than I have. I feel bad because every time I turn around he is sick. It is the weird weather we have been having. It needs to either stay cool or stay hot not one day hot and the next cold. This is why some many people are sick.
It is now Sunday April 8, 2007 and it is Easter. This weekend has been okay. Last night I went to wrestling and I was so happy to see my man. Sadly I was sick and the night had to end. I wished I could’ve spent more time with him. Today hasn’t been all that bad. My babies had a good Easter and we can’t wait to go back home. All I am waiting on is my clothes to get done and then we’re going to go get me a phone card and a pack of cigs and then we’re going home. Well this is all for now but I will post again sometime next weekend. I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Easter.
