Calling out the Piecers

Still kicken and ticken

Charges against S13 were dropped. Still ahve to take him for an interview with the youth officer tonight for all the problems with him lately but the picture is quite clear that the 'sitter' stirred all this up to try and keep us, all of us, (x)W myself and kids away from our own dang house.

Which initiated folks getting the boot from it. We're getting the message across, the party is over in that place.

Currently trying to work with a realtor and have 8 applications out for a loan. Plan A, is to buy our house back. Finish fixing it up and see where we stand financialy, stay or dump it and move on. Plan B is to take advatnage of the foreclosure market and see waht we can come up with. With the first time buyers rates and tax breaks, we'd be foolish not to. Renting just isn't looking cost effective on a house, and neither of us are keen to an apartment, but in the worst case, we'll go that route.

Other than that, S11 and I had an interesting conversation last night after he refused to homework, blamed all his life's problems now on the D. Of which, I call the bluff since homework and school issues have plagued him long before, and it was very unfair of him to blame it on us, especially when we're working so hard to put everyone's life back together as fast as we can.

So, going well. (x)W did mention the other morning I 'have to be more open and forgiving of some of her friends', to which I scuffed and rightfuly so and said I'd gladly be nicer and forgiving to each and every person, once they one by one remove their knives from my back. She was actually very understanding of my point.

Bottom line is we're all functioning like a family again for the most part, eating dinner at the table and awaiting warmer weather to things outside. Did play some football with the boys for a bit over the weekend, have to watch how active I get with the heart and all.

'R'wise, things are good. Getting a little flustered in a recent lack of intimacy, but that's on both sides, I think we've just been exhausted from everything mentally, I know I am
