I just wanted to post a short blog summarizing the weekend. We exercised our right to take SS out of town whether BM liked it or not. Twice. She REALLY didn't like it, but has been informed that she can't do anything about it. Our parenting plan only states that we have to give her an itinerary if we're going out of state with SS - it doesn't even require her permission, just her knowledge.

First of all - Hooray! Everything went so well! Ok, now I'll let you know what happened.

So my attorney was there to meet me bright and early in the morning. BF said that every time he has gone to court with BM, they have sat in the 'pews' and waited through everyone else's cases until theirs was finally heard. Today, we were the first people in there - and the only people in there at the time. I was relieved that no one was in there to listen to her air her dirty laundry.

BF was supposed to pick SS up for visitation this evening. When he got to BM's house, he found a note taped to the door. It said "Mom doesn't know where I am. I've been told by several people NOT to let SS come with you due to the highlighted section." This was written on the back of her copy of my restraining order. She had highlighted the part where no one was to contact me for her or give me messages for her. SO she's gone. When we got home, we found a message on the answering machine from SS.

BM was served with my restraining order today! Woohoo! BF was there when she got it because it was served to her in court. Boy was she pissed! She was already pissed, of course. She always is. She tried, yet again, to use this court date as an opportunity for her to bitch about everything she hates about BF, me, and everyone. And, again, she was told that none of that really mattered. Right there in front of everyone she said "Well I'll just deny him visitation then and he'll never see SS." Everyone in the room froze and looked at her. I can't believe she could be so stupid.
