Out of Sight Out of Mind

Well, Hello Everyone!!
It sure has been a while since my last post. Life has been very, very busy. I started taking classes at the local community college in August and since that time I don't know where the time has gone. Between working, school and taking care of five kids I just don't know how the time has flown by so quickly.

The older two girls have been so busy with school and after school activities that we have had a hard time catching up with one another. The younger three have not had as much to do after school so that has been a BIG help. I still feel like I live in my van. But it certainly has not been as bad. It sure helps that Meagan can drive to school and take Jessica with her. They both started Seminary this week so they have had to get up a lot earlier than usual. They both also have to stay at school still late in the evening and I just don't see how they get everything done. I am very proud of them for their thirst for education and they willingness to continue on with Seminary. They both thought Seminary would not happen this year since the first teacher called was not able to teach. The new teacher they like so hopefully this will be a great year for them.

As I said earlier that I am going to school also. I have really enjoyed it too!! I am the oldest person in the class other than the teacher but, she is not much older than I. I has been a blessing to be able to go back to school and work on a degree. I am still not sure exactly what I want to do but I am going forward with the belief in myself. I would like to get a degree in Business Admin or possibly as a paralegal. With all the briefs that I have had to write in this long saga of a divorce I have found that I love to write all those briefs and I am good at it too.

Derryl has filed for custody of the kids again since he does not want to pay child support. He thinks that if he has more custody than he will not have to pay anything. It all comes down to money for him!!! What a shame for him. We have six wonderful kids that he is missing out on. He has had no visitation with them since September 10, 2006. He does go up to the school and bother Emma there but has not contacted me to start his visitation again. In fact he was in the office on Thursday when Gabbie was in to see the nurse for not feeling well, and did not say anything to her. I don't even think he would recognize gabbie if he saw her. He does not ask to eat lunch with her or go to her class. He visits Emma during her lunch time but that is all. He is the one missing out on their lives.

Well, I guess I am going to stop for now. Emma wants some time with Mom so I am off to play with her.

Have A Wonderful Week and God Bless!!
