I personally think its an excuse because he is afraid that baby isn't his.
I'm wondering more if he's afraid the baby IS his!!!
I agree with you, Karen. Seems to me like the reason he isn't pushing hard enough for the paternity testing is because he IS afraid this baby is his, and having that possible fact "solidified" means he will REALLY have to face what he has done with his life, as well as what he has done to his family.
Happy Thanksgiving, Corey! Hope you and your kids are having fun!

Well, I'm baaaaaaaaaack. There are no new bumps in the desert to report so that in and of itself is a good thing.
Had a good time. The football was great, the family time was nice and not putting myself in the position to get all worked up about what I can't change was good too. Not to say there weren't a couple of times that I didn't show the restraint I'm famous for () but for the vast majority of the trip, I was .
We had a couple of nice talks and the words he said sound nice and I would love to believe it, but I will have to see it.
We all know he gambled...a lot, but I refused to make it the focus or let it affect me (ok once it did, but that was the middle of the night and he woke me up then I couldn't go back to sleep...)for more than a little bit.
All things considered, we actually did more in this trip than in any previous trip I can recall.
We got there Wednesday and did the weigh in thing. We checked into our room and he disappeared. The kids and I went to Caesar's and walked through the forum shops, had some dinner then went back and went to sleep. We got up had some breakfast and went to the field (2 hrs early) and sat in the rain through that game and then DS's game. They beat em' 30-14 and it was AWESOME!!! That night we went out with the team for dinner and then the boys all bowled. It was so good to see how well the team gel'd. In two weeks these boys became really close and it was just so nice to see them all having such a good time. Of course after dinner H went to gamble (we had dinner/bowling at one of the casinos) and so I stayed with the kids. DS was ready to go and called H and told him he wanted to go and H said he'd meet us at the door and actually did...I was SHOCKED!!!!! Friday we didn't have a game so we ended up going to watch the kids from his regular season team play and some other teams. We watched 2 games and then went back to the hotel. We even went and had dinner as a family that night. After dinner the kids and I went to Caesar's again and H went to gamble. He ended up staying out all night and it kept me up too, which sucked, but the talk that came out of it was pretty good.
We played Sat. am and we ended up losing 14-6, but the boys played SO TOUGH. I couldn't have been prouder. We left the field and drove home. We got home about 7:30 and I took the kids to Del Taco, we came home and I went to bed and slept from 9pm-9:30am.
Not going to be around much in the next week or so because I HAVE to get busy so I can take my final for my class (I've been SLACKING!!!) and I have all of the kids' homework and stuff, I'm just feeling overwhelmed right now. I will lurk and post here and there, but I have to try and concentrate on this class.
I'll post more about specifics later. Thanks to all who came by and thanks for keeping up with BG...my heart hurts for her.
