Thanks for the wisdom OT.
     All I know is American Idol is on tonight an Little Bit aint here to watch.  Sounds silly, but it's been kind of a tradition.  I know they will come of age someday (soon) but I want them to have the proper foundation fore they get there.  Lil sat down with the ex on the phone last night (they usualy get along) to explain our intentions, but to no avail.  Lil keeps a cool head, but even that was a challenge for her.
     We have mediation regarding part of this business on Thursday an I hope we end up with more than a train wreck.  As we both agree, this is about the kids.  I'll pay all the money they want, I jus want my due say when it comes to teachin them girls to be women.  In the mean time I'd like to enjoy them as kids.
     An yer right OT, they is smarter than a lot give em credit for.

Couple of weeks back my seven year old grandson was demonstrating his skills at tai kwon do.  Trying for his next belt.  Several of the schools in Vegas work as teams to judge the other kids so they aren't judging their own students. 

Logan did his moves almost perfectly and threw in a couple he'd seen more advanced kids doing.  At the end, the judge looked at him and said, "You're an over achiever, aren't you?"

Logan stood up straight and tall, looked the judge dead in the eye, and said, "NO SIR!  I'm an American."

The judge said, "Yes you are." and turned away.  He was halfway back to his seat when he broke into a big grin and the crowd started clapping.  Logan got his promotion.

Family values?

Damn right!

Well it was an innerestin day in court.  Turns out all they wanted to talk about today was health insurance.  Kind a silly beins that my girls have never been with out full coverage ever even though I haven't had any fer maself since the early '90s.  A complete waste of time (which is money) an jus another way for the ex to dig her spurs in  ???
     One thing that did amuse me was a point where another lady was sayin her piece in another matter.  I couldn't help but think "that's zactly what the ex would say".  When she was done, the judge spanked her little hiney but good fer self ritgeouly admittin to casting despersions on her ex to their kids an discussin finacial matters with em.  I almost wish my ex hadn't heard that, she may have been smart enough to take it as a future warning.  If there ever was a "most likely to shoot themself in the foot in a court o law" it'd be her.   ;)
     Well enough a that for now.  Won't be another hearin till April Fools Day.

Thought I'd dig this one back up cause I got a letter from my oldest today :)
     She broke contact with me months ago when Lil and I caught on to her shenanigans.  In the letter she tells me that she has moved away from her mother and is now helping her grandmother run a bed and breakfeast in town much smaller than this one.  She is home schooling and doing well it seems.  All her old friends are history and she's focusing on the important stuff.  Guess she finally realized what me an Lil was trying ta get through ta her. 
     Can't wait to see her again and take her out shooting (she's a natural) with the new guns. :D

Hope all this aint too self indulgent, I know we all got family issues but getting that letter taday made me a happy guy.

Kids work on ya in different ways too.

The youngest will be in her new home tonight. Was real strange walkin’ past the only bedroom she’s had since she was three ‘n seein’ it empty. Almost twenty three now. It’s time. I’m really glad.

But, geezzzz. Give it ta, let’s say, Wednesday mornin’ when her Momma is gettin’ ready for work  They used to compete with one another for kitchen space ‘n such. When it’s quiet ‘n no one’s in the way – the empty-nest syndrome is gonna hit. It ain’t gonna be pretty.

That'd be Alley Arcey?  After 23 years it will be strange.
     Lil's 22 year old keeps comin back an she is always so happy even though he takes hour long showers and eats all our food.  When he is gone she gets the empty nest thing.
