Hey all! Happy late 4TH!!! Thankk you all for keeping up with the thread and the sitch.

Well, kids are gone from the 2nd of July to the 15th of July with their mom, for a vacation down in Texas, visiting with their Grandparents.

Here??? Well, it has been a nice full week of R&R...BBQ's, late nights and great together time with TRIP. Shopping, eating, lounging around, and sleeping in have been the daily menu. MWAH!!! to her! ;\)

Kids will be with me after they get back from their trip. EX says, up until that time, "they are just spending time with me." BS!!! They have been living with me since the beginning of June. They have been with me full-time since the last day of school, 13 June. She still gets payment and uses it as she sees fit...and, won't agree to sign squat till they get back, insuring her at least another payment before she leaves the country...which, BTW, cannot come soon enough. The best part? She wants the paperwork to state that I will have them 51% of the time and her, 49%....uh, HELLO???? They will be with me 100% of the time and, have been since beginning of June, from now on! Now how does that fly???? I need to get with someone on this because the comment she made was abpout something in payments to me that sounded fishy, and I am thinking that it is so she will pay BARE minimum to me.....AND, she hasn't bought SQUAT for the kids since the end of May. Nice mother, huh?

So, anyhow, I am thoroughly PO'd about this and will make sure that me and the kids don't get the short-end of the stick with this "deal". What a crock. And, to top things off, I got rear-ended about a week ago, with minimal damage to my car...just a little roughed up paint to the bumper...but still....

I see TRIP is only a few digits away from catching and surpassing my numbers here....hhhmmmmmmm.....how am I suppose to compete with this pressure??!!!! (LOL!!!)


Man who walks with BIG stick!
