C-man's waivering, a planned vacation, new nails, and a cook-out, ..

Something I noticed on Thursday that I kind of found a little disturbing was that C-man knew we had court on Friday and when I picked him up from school the teacher told me he was really, really bad at school.  When we got home I asked him what was wrong and he told me that his mother had told him to act really bad at school to help her get him back.  I asked him if he wanted to go live with her and he said "well she said she would move close to you guys and that she would give me my own cell phone if I lived with her" (who gives a 2nd grader a cell phone?!).  Then Friday when we won custody he didn't act very happy about it.  Somehow I get the feeling that this is not over.  She will probably continue to try and get him to act bad at school and bribe him with things.  I'm sure we have not seen our last day in court.  Hopefully we will at least get a year or two rest though.  It's like we always have this evil force working in our lives just waiting for a chance to pounce.

We are planning a weekend in a cabin at a lake for mid June.  I've already made reservations.  We are taking the kids, it's my moms family reunion so we are taking everyone.  I don't know if my oldest son will be able to get off work.  I really hope so because I don't get to see nearly enough of him.   

My daughter took me and her little 5yr old soon to be step daughter to go get our nails done on Saturday.  I got tips put on because I was so nervous last week I bit all my natural nails off to nubs.  Sunday we went to church and then went over to my father-in-laws house for a a cook out to celebrate us winning custody of C-man.  The boys rode the 4-wheeler and a little motorcycle all afternoon.  Now it's Monday and they are all gone off to work and to school and I'm sitting here in the middle of a huge mess that they made.  And I DO NOT WANT TO CLEAN IT UP!!!

Thanks everyone for all the happy comments on my last post!!!!
