On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Crazy

I was hoping that the craziness was over. I was wrong.

Christian called me just as I was getting home from work. He said, "Grandma, I'm bored." Which is usually code for - can I come over? So I asked him if he wanted to come over. He asked his Mom who said ask your Dad who asked her - and then he said that he didn't have gas money to drive over. I told Christian I would be happy to pick him up. Anway, I thought that was the end of the story. But, Michael called back and I asked if I could come pick up the boys. He said Christian was going over to Grandma Linda's house. I asked what Wyatt was doing. He asked Mary if it was okay that I come get Wyatt. She said it was as long as I didn't go over to Lindsay's house. I told Michael that I wasn't going to put up with that. That kind of talk makes me angry. I guess I'll put off coming to get Wyatt. We both hung up the phone. I thought that was the end of that. And then, Mary calls. She wonders why I don't want to see Wyatt. I told her I definitely do want to see Wyatt but I don't appreciate being told that I can't go to my own daughters house. I won't be playing those games. Mary then told me that she doesn't want Wyatt around someone who has a warrant out for his arrest. I asked her who she was talking about. She said, "David". I told her that I looked it up and that case was dropped. She said that the judge went ahead and issued a warrant for David's arrest because he didn't show up for court. I said, he didn't know that he was to be in court. We didn't believe you would go that far to file a false statement with the court system. I called Lindsay and asked her if she wanted to hear the news or not. I told her the story and she says she doesn't believe the judge would do that.

I honestly can't believe that Mary would do all that she has done. How does she expect the family to get past something like this? Always before I've made excuses for her actions and her behavior. I even got the rest of the extended family to quit talking so badly about her. I thought I had them sympathetic to her disease. Now she has gone too far though. Filing a false statement to the court. Now David has that on his record. How are we supposed to get together for holidays? I mean seriously!

The boys need stability and love in their life. How am I supposed to see them? I wish Grandparents had visitation rights.
