This getting a date for court has sort of put me into a tailspin. I had a lousy weekend, and can't seem to shake the low feeling it has brought on. My message was received, and returned, no answer. Not really surprised.

My intentions at this point are to be entirely dark. There doesn't seem to be any other answer, and actually, dark is how I feel anyway.

SIL came by to pick up his daughters while I was babysiting for D24 last night. It was very evident he was trying not to cry. Kids all swarmed him and GS2 climbs him like a ladder. D24 seems perfectly blissful. Don't understand it at all, but, I'm not living her life.

Actually, since receiving this court date, I feel back to square one. I don't feel spunky, I feel defeated, hopeless. Thought this part of the roller coaster ride might be over, but appears it was wishful thinking.
