Bartlemay

Bartlemay, is the name of my lawyer. He is fabulous, I had a long conversation with him yesterday when I got my papers that Chris served me with and he is excellent. He made me feel much better and more in control, I'm meeting with him tommorrow. Let me tell you getting served with papers just made my day, especially when my name was spelled wrong in all of them and the best part, he didn't even get his daughter's birthday right. Not even close, 6 days off. Pretty sure he's gonna have to re-file, more money for him to pay. Honestly, what a douche bag. Ireland slept really well last night, she went to bed around 9:30 and didn't get up until 8 today, she always wakes up so happy, and the look on her face when I walk into her room is just priceless, it's like, 'there you are mommy, I'm so glad to see you." She is so freaking cute I can't even get over it. We're going bowling today, some people at work started a league and asked me to join when someone else quit, and it's really fun. Ireland loves going there and everyone plays with her. For someone who can't even crawl yet she sure gets around. Yesterday I walked into the kitchen for like 30 seconds and when I got back she had made her way to the DVD player, opened it and was waving the DVD around like it was a great new toy. She's hilarious. Today is my Friday, which is nice, but I only get one day off because I have to work mandatory OT on Friday, so not so nice. But I took Wednesday off next week so Ireland and I can go to Missouri and visit her other Grandma and Grandpa. They are so wonderful to us, and they love Ireland so much which I'm very grateful for. They actually act like they care instead of just talking about it like her father does. I found out the other day that he was talking about moving to Wisconsin to work at another casino. I doubt he'll actually do it, but it would be great if he did. I honestly don't know why he's trying to waste all this money on lawyers when eventually he's just going to leave like he did with his other daughters who still live in Missouri. Whatever, someday he'll realize what a total mess he's made of his life, too bad it will be too late. Time for our bath, someone is very stinky today!

Welcome to us

So I love reading my friends blogs and I've decided to start one of my own. My darling daughter has just passed out while playing with her millions of toys on the floor, so this is the perfect opportunitiy. She is seven months old now and the best baby ever. She's so happy and it's so much fun to watch her discover new things every day. She just got her first two teeth at the same time, and she's doing pretty well with them. I highly reccomend the teething tablets that disolve in their mouths, she loves them and they help her alot. She's a good sleeper, she'll go down around 9 0r 10 and sleep til 6 or 7, which is great for my mom who watches her for me while I'm at work. However I don't get off work until 2 am, so my sleep is pretty non-exsistant. You just get used to feeling like a zombie after awhile, but I wouldn't trade it for anything, I love spending my days with her, and I can't imagine missing out on any of the things she does. Her father, who currently lives across the street from us and works 8 hours a night with me, has not seen her for almost 2 months, needless to say, this disgusts me, and I'm about done with his lame-ass bullshit. I try to do what's best for Ireland, but is he really what's best for her? Especially since he decides to send me a text message a week and a half ago telling me I'm going to be served with papers and child support (which I have never yet gotten) is suspended until a PATERNITY test is done. Are you kidding me, honestly just when I thought I was immune to his bullshit, he finds a new way to rip my heart open. Then he lies to me (yet again) and tries to say he didn't ask for it, it's part of the 'procedure'. Bull shit, I know the procedure, and he signed her birth certificate at the hospital when she was born. So obviously my tax refund will be going to hire a lawyer, and hopefully soon I will be done with this bullshit once and for all. We'll see what happens, I still have yet to be served, I don't know how long that's suppossed to take. So yep, that's my life these days, I'm deliriously happy with my beautiful daughter, and my wonderful family and great friends. I have a good job and I usually enjoy it. Ireland and I have a crazy life, but it's our life, and so far we're loving it.
