Back to Normal

I got the boys back after a week with their father. They got out of school, and I didn't have anywhere for them to be...he wasn't doing anything, so there we go. I tried to put out of my mind that they have absolutely NO business at this man's home...it's a nightmare...he and his wifey have NO common sense when it comes to daily life, let alone raising children. I swallowed my fears based out of need and hoped for the best.

As far as I know there were only a few incidents: one being that step-mom took the kids to the pool when she herself doesn't even know how to swim...then when my oldest wanted to get out because he was really cold...she GROUNDED him! The second - They don't supervise the kiddos on their trampoline...some sort of fight broke out and Gavin had the HUGEST bruise on the left side of his forehead...by the time I saw it, it was in the super nasty/green stage. Third, since she works late at sonic, they think it's ok for the kids to have the same schedule as her. As in, they don't give them breakfast until noon, lunch is supper and they feed them dinner at 9 or 10! OMG!!! SO, not happening again. My kids get up early and shouldn't have to sit for half the day while they sleep in...it's the MOST ridiculous thing I have ever heard of!

They don't engage the kids, they plug in the xbox (that they bought instead of paying child support) and let them pretty much do whatever. Needless to say, they were ready to be home. We didn't even go through the usual "daddy detox".

Poor Kainan has been suffering the same sinus issues that I have! He spent today snoozing and it's just not normal for him to not want to run, play and EAT! Hopefully tomorrow we will find our sense of normal again.
