You have a 142cc gas powered oil cooled BOB? Wow!

You didn't know CRAFTSMEN made those????

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I hear they have an upgrade for the BOB these days, and you can get TURBO!!!

Turbo! WOW! It must still be top secret...or POWS hid that issue from me when it came in, thinking that I would retire him faster than I did!! LMAO...

Still no arrears yet...so, we will see...If I don't get it by Monday I will be calling the lawyer to file contempt...he had to get it to me within 30 days from Sept. 14th...Sunday will be in 14th and then the next CS payment is due on the 15th! I mentioned it to the para when I spoke to her yesterday...

Well, I got the oil for the pressure washer but I really don't feel like doing it today...and we have to be at the rummage sale for 6am and I'm not sure if I'm going to work it til it closes...that would be a really long day for the kids...

I'll see how it goes...I know Spon. is hoping to collect one figure in she head but my figure is double her's...That's good money to for that matching grant that we know about...

I'm starving, so let me get something to eat and sit for a little while...relax...

HI, Everyone! I doing pretty good...started sneezing again...I'm sure that it has to do with the weather change...we're officially in fall...temp downed to 58 late night...80's during the day...

Anyway, rummage sale was great...I spent way to much but got some great things for the house and it does help the organization that I volunteer for...

The boys were my plumbing helpers earlier...I got a new kitchen faucet in, best one I've ever had...soap dispenser! WOW...anyway, they helped install that and I had a PVC piece I had to install as a result of the my water lines under the house, so they helped with that...

Then, YS and I installed a wine rack and relocated the existing light that was where the wine rack is now...I wouldn't let him use my tools so he went get his play tools and every tool I used he would get his out and use it...

That's the gifts that I will remember and they will too I'm sure! helping mom work on things...last night I painting the living room...I have a little more to go...I wasn't going to do anything but the more I sat there and looked at that wall, the more I couldn't stand it...

So, I painted until 2am, then got up a little after 5 to get ready for the rummage sale...I wasn't sleeping well anyway...LOL...

We got home after 3 and YS and I took a nap...then a friend called and came by to see what I have done so far...it's been a pretty successful weekend...right now the boy's are in charge of filling a box of the toys that they want to get rid of! AND MOM MADE SURE THAT IT WAS A BIG BOX!! LMAO

LMAO..the house was getting cleaned and looking better but you know how when you start a project you HAVE to MESS things up again before they get better!! LMAO...

GOGO chewed up another pair of my shoes today...my Harley Davidson ones, I wore today! I was SOOOOO mad...I've got to find something that works with this child or I'm going to have to make a decision on whether to keep her...I would hate to have to get rid of her...maybe a obedience class...I don't know, we'll see about that later...

Guess I really need to look at it this way...my IC said once that kids need six months to adjust whether it's agood or bad change, same must go for the dog!

Well, I'm going sit for a little while...LMAO...until I get a wild hair to do something else around here! LOL

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi All! I hope that you are all doing well! The boy's and I had a good weekend. The rummage sale went great, didn't make as much as we were hoping but every little bit helps...

I got up early today...and started moving furniture in the living room, removed the HUGE entertainment center that was in there...that WAS A HUGE TASK...a few inches here a few inches there...I vacuumed all the dust out of the carpet...GEEZE!!! The house was in poor condition...when I say a LAYER of dust...I could have planted flowers in the entertainment center!! LMAO...

Got a few things done in my bathroom...a few things in the kitchen, but the boys and I REALLY tackled outside along the fence...now I can sit in the living room and see down the road, before all I saw was leaves and branches...I even went in the renter's yard next door and cut the branches from there...I'm sure MR. G will not mind...we talked about teh fence line when he purchased the house...

The boy's rooms are complete destruction/construction zones! I'm not touching them....YET!!! OS says it's going to get better I'm looking for things to get rid of....while I'm thinking to myself...wait to much longer and you won't come back from your dad's with much of anything left!!! LMAO...

Christmas IS right around the corner and I'm liking the idea that I don't have to TRY to consult POWS on what to get them...I can just do it! I think I'm going to go for a BIG item this year...something for the back yard...

Oh, and YS wants one of those Kettcar's, there was one at the rummage sale and I was going to get it...I had already talked with Spon., who was running everything...well another member marked it down without telling anyone and a man got it...YS was SOOOOO upset, crying, so I calmed him down, and said Santa would be coming soon, maybe he would get one then...it helped but he was heartbroke!

Anyway, I've been sneezing more and I'm trying my best to get over this stuff...with the weather change and all of the dust...I'm just having trouble! So, let me get to bed and get some rest!

Good night guys! Take care!

Well, I had to call my lawyer this morning! POWS has not paid the arrears within the 30 days and today he's due for the second part of Oct. CS...

Para asked me to call back tomorrow if I haven't gotten anything from him today...

So, that's where I stand on enforcing the boundaries...

Outside of that, I think things are going well. I'm having a terrible time shaking this cold...I woke up with my head pounding...took some meds and came to work...feeling a little better...

:a weak smile:

Hope everyone's doing well...praying for you all and thinking about you!

Okay, this is the momma in me (or the grandma) but from the way you've described the dust in your house (thanks POWS!) next time you start doing some work on your home it might be a good idea to wear a dust mask. Stirring up all that dust, along with the weather, can't be helping your cold or sinuses. You hear me young lady?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks PM! I haven't even thought about that, that's a great idea...I'll have to see if POWS left one or two in the garage, if not I'll have to go get some...

I feel like there's a DUH moment in here somewhere...LOL

Hey..is Bob sick too?

LMAO...he MUST BE I haven't seen him around in a few days...

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well, came home for lunch and checked the mail...POWS left Oct.15th CS but still not arrears...I called and left a message for the para...

Morning! I had the most horrifing dream last night...well, this morning!

I think that POWS coming by when I wasn't here to drop off CS triggered it...

Anyway, in the dream POWS showed up, I was sleeping and someone let him in the house, YS was sick and I was caring for him, I have no clue where OS was...Well, POWS was on night shift and he showed up with all of his work equipment, microwave, etc....he was going to start working days the following Monday...

Well, I asked him to leave said that I was not comfortable with him being here...he wouldn't...I told him that it wasn't his house anymore and he laughed and said that it was...

I picked up the phone to call the police and walked outside, he followed and tried taking the phone away from me...I ended up dailing the wrong number becasue he was trying to get teh phone and a lady answered so I asked her to help me...there was a struggle between me and POWS and I throw the phone across the yard...he got me back inside and left me alone...

YS was crying and POWS told me "see what you did!" I comforted YS and was able to sneak off again to try to call the police, but POWS appeared and we got into an angrument...I asked him to leave again and he wouldn't...I remember telling him "you never listened to what I had to say!" I was crying hard. Well, I tried calling the police on his phone this time and it was broke...He caught me and I throw the phone again...he told me that I better go pick it up and I refused...

Somehow or another I get locked in a closet full of paint and I tried starting a fire to let someone know that I was there...the windows were painted so you couldn't see out or in...I'm not sure but the lady that I dailed by accident must have called the police because after some time the police rescued me from my prison...

I was a complete wreck, I had been in the closet for a few days...and during that time POWS and I had fought several times...him trying to come into the closet and I had pushed a shelf up against the door so that he couldn't get in...

After my rescue, I had found out that he had done this to other woman too and then I woke up...

Good thing it's only a dream...vivid, but only a dream...the only things true in real life in comparison to the dream is his attitude and once I walked outside to call my Spon. and he followed with his arms folded at the top step...he wouldn't let me leave with the kids to go visit my parents said that I could go but not the kids....so I stayed...

Good thing life has changed huh? Today I don't have to deal with that...

Wow, no more pickles for you before bed. LOL

This dream is ripe for analysis.

LMAO...This is the worse dream I've had in a while...

YS is sick and I slept on the sofa until he woke up and joined me...I had the dream while I was sleeping with him...when I woke up from it, I went crawl in my bed!

Ys's here with me at work...his head's stopped up...he was running a fever at 4 this morning...he's in good spirits, he just woke up and is in a playful mood...still sounds bed but doing well!

I'm tired and could use a nap! LMAO...

Thanks PM, I'll try to lay off those before bedtime! LMAO...

Well, we're home for the day...we went to lunch and YS has some projectile vomiting going on in the restuarant...

I handle things so differently now a days...we were walking to the bathroom when he did it...I just catch the closest person and explained and followed after him!

So, we can't get a Dr. appt. until tomorrow...

HI ALL! My para faxed me a copy of the judgement this morning and the joint custody agreement...

The arrears was stated in court that they be paid within 30 days and on the judgement that his lawyer typed up it said until Oct. 20th...now, let me explain....half of the arrears which is $1710...if paid after the 30 days POWS owes the whole $3400...So, I caught them on that!

Then, I didn't know that he was suppose to give me $150 dollars for a bill...then, there were some things on the holidays and there was no first right to refusal, so we are are amending the documnets and sending them back...

Right now, POWS is legally entitled to claim the kids on taxes but if he is behind on his CS, I DO!!

How's your kiddo doing? Hopefully feeling better today!

Hi, we JUST got back from the dr....he's doing great, will be back in school tomorrow...just sinus infection...WHEW!!

HE's really active today and driving me batty...LMAO...He slept most of the day yesterday...I slept some too! LMAO...

It's good to see that there are consequences, in the copy of the judgement POWS' lawyer was giving him 36 days to pay half of the arrears...So, I'm stucking to that one and IT DOES say that all movables therein the address of my house is to stay...so it's a slow process but it's coming together...

It would be nice to claim the kids this year! I know LG said that I should claim them anyway but I don't want POWS calling me into contempt of court...But I will certainly claim them if he is behind on CS...

Well, I have to go get YS's medicine filled, we stopped at home to get something to eat...then we're headed back to work...he was helping me out this morning...one of my bosses even got him McDonald's and HE ATE...one pancake, a sausage, one and a half hashbrowns plus chocolate milk...compared to yesterday I would say he doing MUCH BETTER!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for asking AmI...I hope that you are doing well and all that are in your life! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Good Morning Everyone! Ys is feeling better this morning, no temp so I'm sending him off to school and he's no happy about it! Oh, well! I am!! LMAO...

It's been pretty quiet around there...HNs don't bother me at all, will say hi to the boys from time to time but that's about it...or the boys will yell to they hello...I don't even look in HNs directions...

The only thing I NEED to do is get a fence up so that crazy dog will stop sneaking off across the road like she did again at 2am this morning! I've also lost another pair of shoes to her, so YS and I went to the pet store and got some stuff called bitter apple to spray of the stuff she's chewing on and SHE HATES IT!!!! So, we're using it for other behavior problems too! She's almost learned how to sit!

I also GOT A SURPRISE late b-day gift for a great friend...Specially made for me...an LSU Bracelet, it's goregous, I put it on as soon as I got it! I was SOOOO excited, I love surprises and it's beautiful!!!!

:whispering thank you again: <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have really made some AWESOME friends here and I know I haven't been posting to you guys with work and my home CPU but you all just wait! I'll be back, fair warning now! WATCH OUT!!! I'm gathering my spy gear now, lurking...LMAO...

WEll, let me get out of here and finish getting dressed for work...Oh, I'll let you know what I find out on this judgement...I know that POWS is in for some consequences...arrears double, he removed property from the addresses, and he owes me additional money for a bill...

In GOd's time, in God's time...
