lots to say about this last week!
So... Been awhile since I updated.
Last weekend Z and I went to a birthday on friday evening. We had a blast jumping around with the kids and each other at Pump it up.
Saturday Z and i slept in and hung out. Sunday we drove to austin and drove around site seeing. Then Z dropped me off with
sparklingand family. I love their little boy. He cute, and affectionate and adorable. *happy sigh* I stayed in austin until tuesday evening when Z picked me up. Seems that I still have some form of Seperation anxiety. Even though my common sense told me that it's not a big deal, It was still hard saying goodbye. At least for the first 5 min. lol.
Wednesday I found out my attorneys intentions. He plans on proceding with the case. He thinks if we can get the designated doctor to state clearly that i DO have carpal tunnel, instead of Carpal tunnel Symptoms we will have a great case to go off of. As soon as we get, he's going to request a court date. I'm hoping that will happen before the end of the yr. *sigh*
Thursday my mom came over and helped me plant some Carolina Jasmine vines and wrangle them around some Lattice work. My mom bought these plants online for a fraction of the price they cost in stores. I LOVE this flower. It smells wonderful and we are hoping they will grow enough to cover the lattice and block some of the sun that comes in my bedroom window in the evening. Mom and my step father dave stayed for dinner which was awesome.
Friday evening Z had to work until about 9:45. So I went and picked up munchkin from her mom. Hunter decided that he didn't want to stay home while i went out so I ended up taking him with me. He loved that. Poor munchkin had toshare the back seat with him which was pretty crowded, but she enjoyed it as well. Had a talk with munchkin about if she was happy to come over here. She said sometimes, when she gets candy. LOL. That from the mouth of a child. lol. Otherwise she likes it here. From our conversation I found out that she thinks that I'm the one deciding the rules over here. Like the eating vegys and having to finish all her food in order to get dessert. I told her that her dad is pushing those more than I am. *sigh* It's sad that she thinks it's all my fault. I know it's pretty normal, but the kiddo is still hoping that her parents would get back together even though she thinks it won't happen. I made sure she knew their divorce was not their fault and was glad that she told me she knew it wasn't. She said she just wants to go back to being happy like she was when she was little, i asked if she rmembered being that young (she was 2 when they split!) she says she doesn't, but her mommy told her they were all really happy. Apparently I have been telling her the same thing mommy has about their divorce. That daddy couldn't give mommy what she needed, and mommy for daddy. She actually finished the sentence for me. lol.
Today We took her to a pumpkin patch in Devine, Tx. She got to pick out a pumpkin, paint it, go on a hay ride, fish (she cought TWO fish!!), walk through a corn and rope maze and pet some farm animals. She was pretty happy with all that. I was the only one that walked away with a pink face but that will most likly fade my morning. After that we drove to San Marcos to meet with
sparkling to get some things i had left behind at her house. We had dinner at her parents house. While there We talked to her parents about the whole adoption thingy, we found out their stance on things, while munchkin was outside playing. They LOVE being around her. We let them know that anytime they are interested in seeing her to let us know. We told them that as long as nothing is said to munchkin then we don't have a problem. They agreed that it wasn't their place and things were left in a great ending. Last yr, sparklings dad actually listed munchkin with their other two grandkids as being a benificiary on his will. That surprised us! I think it's very important that munckin learns she is adopted before she starts getting into the real tough yrs. Unfortunatly, those are coming a lot fast than most of us want them to. She's growing fast, and she's VERY intelligent. I'm glad that she knows how many people love her and care for her. The subject will be difficult but she has MANY supporters, included her Birth family. But for now, it's just good to know that people love her. Even people that havn't even met her are loving having her in the family or as extended family. I recieved a call from my grandmother, aunt and cousin in CA yesterday. They already have her christmas gift bought and will be sending it shortly.
Tomorrow, We are going over to my cousins house to wish his 14 yr old a happy birthday. hard to believe she's that old already. She was only 6 when i met her for the first time. Now, she's grown into a mature teenager. How time flies!! Anyways...
Monday I'm going to be hanging out with
txswthrt_00for a movie night with pizza and wine. She really needs some time to get out of the house and her will e watching the kids for her. I'm glad that after 8 yrs we are still friends and that I can be there for her when she needs a friend! This whole situation is difficult for most. Not to mention that her ex-husband to be's Girlfriend is causing HS drama. I'm proud of Mary for being able to stand back and not allow herself to be wrapped up in the drama. She's strong. I admire her for that!
Tuesday, we are supposed to get together with
moonsingerand family so they can see hunter. I'm sure he will be happy to see them.
Ok.. this is it for now and I think its a lot.
