For those of you that are noticing my blog....I sometimes write down multiple posts but not posted them until later when I have more time--I wanted to find a Stepparent sight I liked..and I researched and chose this one. This is an update! Feel free to comment your opinions..good or bad. There will be times I will be judgmental and negative...in my posts...I hope we all understand...this is how I feel at that moment...

July 3, 2012: Whew! I think I choose the short straw moving to Kansas. We have scorching summers just like I experienced in Texas and I am told bone chilled winters. Ugh! Temperatures have been 100+ all last week, just today it has been lower by a few degrees.

We are finally getting some issues resolved with the Wife in Law AKA my boyfriend's Ex Wife; involving the kids. They went to court because she was refusing for him to see the kids on his allotted time... She just needed a judge to tell her she's wrong. We are seeing them as scheduled now.
Task for kids at the moment: We went over a responsibility list. *chore list* sounded bad. We have to remind the kids for a while to check their list but it will work out! I Pray!

Update:
July 28, 2012:
Divorce is Final final...not just "final" like I thought--but FINAL...thank goodness!

Wife in Law which we dubbed D.B. (for a harsher name) recently moved closer to us in a sh*thole rental home with her boyfriend--Oh I mean fiance, because the house my boyfriend owned was finally sold. (Long story but...not worth rehashing)

The "original" decree has FINALLY been signed by her too..Which is also a year and a half over due. The judge (in early July) had told her to get is signed and stop making everyone wait around. Now the next deal is Child Support. Oh baby jeebus...*sigh* My dear boyfriend has been paying her child support directly...He use to pay her whenever she asked for money but then I moved up here and got that straightened out. I understand he feels guilty and wants to provide for his children. He is a wonderful daddy. But she knows his weaknesses and plays the game to get what she wants. So, now he pays her as scheduled and the judge told her to get the payment center set up ASAP so that we no longer have to pay her directly. Regardless of it being court mandated and that it is suppose to be for the children, nobody enjoys writing out checks to someone they don't like do they?

We are glad she moved closer only because the kids are closer too. She is suppose to share pick up and drop off but gives us excuses about gas or her loser fiance having the vehicle..or whatever but when we have the kiddos, we do not talk about her or her new fiance of the month. We are all about being our own family and the kids and I get along pretty good. Our boy is a momma's boy so I am sure she gets told whatever we discuss by him. BUT we do not talk badly about her or her fiance in front of the kids.

I am still looking for a job--had a few interviews last week..and I had a temporary job but I am not unhappy that it ended. sometimes--a job just does not fit a person ya know? Plus, I am much more refined with my skills and coming from a large city to po-dunk KS I just have to grab what I can for now until I get more established.

On to more good news. We have a family vacation coming up in less than a week for approximately 10 days and I am super excited!!! We are going to visit my boyfriends family in PA. We get the kids for 2 weeks straight during the summer and decided to do it right before they go back to school.
