So Many Things To Post About......

i am probably going to end up doing at least 2 or more posts because there is so many things to post about and so many things that arae going on right now it is incredible. first of all, as for frankies dad and the whole divorce thing, he had 20 days to respond from the date that i had him served which was jan 25th, and 20 days from that date was valentines day which was feb 14th. so he decided to wait for the last minute until the 14th to go to the courthouse to respond, only to be told that it was 40 dollars to respond, and he didnt have that money at that time, so he filed a request to extend it, and he was told that if approved he would have another 20 days from that date to respond. so who knows if he was approved or not, i am trying to log into the clerk of courts for my county website, and pull up the case, but for some reason it isnt pulling up the case. so who knows if he was approved for the extension or not, i am sure that he is, so that would put him at march 5th as being his last day to respond. i already told him several times that i dont even care how much money that they would give me for child support, that all that i cared about was having frankie the days that i wanted him for which is sunday night through friday night, that way i would get him back and forth to school with kayla (because he is starting kindergarten next year), and i want to make sure that he is getting his homework done every night and not having any issues with getting back and forth to school each day either. and as far as i am concerned that doesnt have to start until school starts in august, it doesnt have to start right away. we could keep things the way that they are right now until school starts if he wants to. i told him that i would even agree to the least amt of child support that the court would allow as long as i got that with frankie. and he didnt actually agree to it, but he sounded like he might be okay with it. so we will see, that is something that will have to waited on and see what happens. his vpk program that he is in right now ends on june 6th, so from then until when school starts i dont know what he is going to be doing with him. i had talked to the owner of the school that he is going to now, and she said that it would be 150.00 a week for summer camp 5 days a week, or 90.00 for a half day of camp 5 days a week in the morning, and i told his dad that and he thought that was very high, and that he wouldnt pay that. so who knows, i know that i am not going to be able to afford to pay that, and that there would be no need for me to pay that anyway, because i am going to be home anyway. so why would i pay anything? if frankies dad wants him to be in camp because he has to work, let him pay for it.

kayla is still having trouble in school, aggravates me almost every day when she comes home with homework to do that she says she doesnt know how to do. and when i ask her if the teacher explained it to them, she says that she didnt know how to do it, because she didnt understand the teacher. i am talking about mostly math homework here. i have never been good in math, and i am sure that i never will be, so as far as teaching kayla how to do it myself, i cant do that. i am lucky to check her papers and tell her if she got something wrong. so like today, she comes home with math homework that she has no idea how to do, and i have no idea how to teach her to do it, and then she doesnt even make matters any better because she whines at the top of her lungs, is very obnoxious and annoying and rude, and mouths off constantly. it is incredible, it really is. and then she keeps not doing things in school like she is supposed to, like writing down her spelling words off the board, instead of writing the 13 words that she gets every day, she wrote down either 5 or 6 of them today, and told me that she didnt have enough time to write all of them off the board. and then because she didnt write them all down, she cant complete the other part of her homework today which was to write her spelling words 5x each. so that is what i am dealing with her, she has been incredible.
