At 2:40am on September 7, 2008, Its me..Marie said…: lol! You are so funny! I have to admit, I had to think twice about that one, it's not everyday you hear that word, ya know. I hope that's not the case but I'm sure your ex sis in law knows her pretty well so she's probably right. I'm soo sorry for you and your son that you guys have to go through this crap, there's no excuse for not giving 110 to a child. Sounds like your son is on to her though and good for him for not playing her games and for standing his ground about how he feels about them. Now, we just have to figure out a way to make them see that the behavior they see in him isn't his norm.... Hope your weekend is going great, I'm headed for bed bc I can hardly keep my eyes open and I have to keep retyping all the words! lol! Good nite.

At 5:40pm on September 3, 2008, Its me..Marie said…: Wow! I totally understand why he doesn't like them! I wouldn't like them either if they were that untrusting! I think that the fact that they do all that makes him feel as thought they're in search of something to acuse him of. I mean, if he is a good kid and he hasn't done anything to make you guys suspicious of something, then why do all that to him? I feel for him, and you bc you have to deal with it, I bet you worry the whole time he's over there. Sounds like your relationship with your son is like mine with my son. I know what you mean about being best friends and having that sence of respect too. And I'm a strong believer that in order to have kids respect us as adults, we have to respect them as kids with opinions and trust them to make good decisions. I'm glad he's right around the corner from making the decision of living with you full time.

I can't believe how hot it is outside today! I can't even wear makeup bc it all just melts off my face..not pretty! lol! Hope the rest of your day goes great! I got open house at 6 so I need to get going here soon. ttyl!

At 3:25pm on September 3, 2008, Crystal said…: hey. yeah Im trying to get a hold of a good picture of her cuz all the ones we have are when she was younger and I already have a frame for it im just waiting for the picture. he been doing fine as of now we have had him for a week and a half without seeing her, hes been pretty but does ask where she is and we all say she at her house and you will she her soon and he takes it pretty well. but its going to be different once she leaves for bootcamp and not back for 4 months. also she has an 8 month old girl (the kids half sister) whos going to her grandparents awhile she away and they live in cali so I think that is going to be a little hard for him since he wont be able to see her..

At 2:10am on September 3, 2008, Its me..Marie said…: lol! I changed the name but I'm back! just having fun on a boring day..I'm weird, I know! The weekend was good, we didn't do much, just stayed home and hung out with the kids. Oh no! Not the joint custody... I have friends that deal with it all the time and I know it's no fun for them & sounds like the same for you. It's so hard to be a good parent to teens and unfortunately, some people don't care to put their feelings aside and be there for the kids. I'm sorry that your son is rebelling agains his dad, did you ask him if everything is ok? There has to be something there for him to act unlike himself when he's around them.. Can't he choose who he wants to be ft now? I hope it all gets better, though I do have to say that from my experience, my son got a little harder to communicate with between the ages of 14-16, he's 16 and a half now and he's much better and acts a bit more mature. Though I know everyone is different and I don't like to compare but I've heard it from a few people. How is he liking school? I'm a little nervous, homecoming is coming up in Oct so that should be fun for him, but I don't like him being out late so I get panicked. I'm trying to let him grow but it's hard! Hope the rest of the week is smoother for you.

At 2:07pm on September 2, 2008, Crystal said…: as of now yes she is in the picture but she leaves soon for basic training and will be gone for about 4 months then after that leaves for iraq for about 18 months.

At 7:00pm on August 26, 2008, Its me..Marie said…: He goes to Silverado, he's in 10th grade. I've heard that Foothill is a really good school, I had a friend that had both their boys there and they did really good. Oh, yeah I know, Henderson city is great, unfortunately Silverado is concidered Las Vegas so I can't say the same! We're looking into maybe moving away but we don't know where yet! lol! Oh yeah, I did the same thing with my kids, decided that I would stay home with them for a little bit but then it ended up being like 5 months.. pretty fun 5 moths though. I think it's great that you're going to spend sometime with him before he hits the highschool stage, although Oscar still likes to hang out with me, but he'd rather with his friends.

Oh the age gap is a bit big, 11 years! But I have to admit that it's nice because you have different relationships with each of them and they don't get jealous of each other at all plus, they don't have to share...anything! I think as long as you're ready, your son will do well with it and he'll be very supportive and helpful.

At 3:49pm on August 26, 2008, Its me..Marie said…: Yes! The schools are pretty bad out here so when you find a good one, you need to hold on to it with dear life! lol! I have one in h.s. and am not very impressed with it at all. I'm a real estate agent but am taking some time off from it since the market is so bad, I'm doing accounting for the time being, how about yourself?

I'm the biggest Twilight fan because I was even on our local radio station as the Twilight expert which is pretty big since I live in the DC Metro area. Makes me quite the expert dontcha think?!

This has to be the ultimate classic movie. It still amazes me how much work and time went into the production of this movie.
