“well, we missed Thomas’s game this morning since it was at the same time as Sarah’s…AGAIN 😦 at 8am! I got an earful from Thomas about it of course , then his coach showed up at the park we were at for Sarah’s game and he talked to Thomas, which seemed to help.

Sarah’s team won again…37-17. She played real well, caught a few rebounds and passed the ball. She even started to dribble down the court but the ball was stolen from her, she was not happy, but everyone was cheering her on for her efforts! PRETTY COOL! There are two boys on her team who have been nicked named the “Twin Towers”! They are NOT twins, not even related, but they are both big boys, TALL and great players! Another player on her team is in commercials, and Sarah saw him in a McDonalds commercial this morning. That was cool!

Next week is their last game…:-( what a season! They will be getting trophies at that time. The coach was talking to a couple of us parents after the game to see what they plan was for their last game. Nothing was decided yet.

As of today, Sarah’s tea is 9 and 0 (somehow over the last couple weeks, I lost a couple games, but they only played 10 games and Sarah’s team has won 9 so far) If you ask Thomas, his team has won all of their games as well!

This is about it…I did get their pictures today, so we are soooo excited and they are attached. I also signed Sarah up for softball for the Summer! Not sure what we are going to do with Thomas yet, gotta find a summer baseball league for him or something.

Have a great day!

Toodles, P~”

“Sarah’s coach just called to cancel practice tonight, and told me he missed us at the game! (how sweet!) I didn’t have the heart to tell him WHAT we were doing, but I did apologize for Sarah not being there.

He did say even with 6 players, they won YET AGAIN…24-11 so they are 7-0! Incredible!!! There is practice on Thursday and also us parents are going to figure out what to do for the kids at the end of the season…FUN FUN FUN! There’s only 3 more games left! 😦

That’s all for now!

“Good evening…

Sarah did have a game today, and was all ready to go but she ended up not going so I have no report…not even a score yet! Sorry!

We did have a GREAT day today though! We went to the Lakewood Sheriff’s Dept for a pancake, sausage, scramble eggs breakfast this morning, and then visited their Open House.

While Keith and Thomas did their thing, (Sarah and I lost them for a little bit) Sarah and I took a partial tour of one end of the dept. (the jail side, LOL) and Keith and Thomas tool a tour of the OTHER end of the dept., the Detective side (sounds more interesting actually) They had their horse, and canines and helicopters and fire engines, CHP motorcycle that both Sarah and Thomas got to sit on. I took a picture and when I get it developed I will scan and send them, and all kinds of things.

Sarah, Thomas and Keith rode in the Quakey Shakey School House which was a bit too shakey for me. It was a ride that is assimilated to the Sylmar earthquake of ’71 which was 6.5 magnitude… of course it the “Yogi Bear Earthquake” didn’t last as long as the ’71 but it shook like the ’71 quake did! Thomas and Sarah laughed through it the 2 times they were on it! As they were walking down the stairs to exit…Keith and all his Gracefulness decided to “slide” down the steps! Goofball! They shouldn’t have told him to be careful because right after they said that he lost his footing and slid! He was ok though. I think my dad would be proud to see his grandkids following in his footsteps! LOL!

After that, we drove up the street and around the corner to the YMCA because they were having a “health faire” for the kids mostly. Another fire engine was there, an ambulance company, chiropractors and students from the Bellflower School of Cosmetology were giving free haircuts. Keith of course was butchered,… BUTCHERED! My oh my… the lady did a horrible job on his hair, but he came home and “shaped” it up…yikes! Sarah had someone trim her hair and it came out a lot better than Keith’s! She had her split ends cut off and a little more, but it is still long.

All in all, it was a great day! Hope you had one too!

Toodles, P~”

I wrote Anthony yesterday and enclosed more letters between Keith and his ex and I, between March 8th and March 11th. I told him I hated dealing with her and avoid her as much as possible, like the plague actually, reminding him that whatever he decides to do, Keith and I are behind him.

He received this letter today.

Quit threatening? HUH? So, he’s to ask the kids about what they’re doing, their jobs, but then he’s trying to invade their lives if he does? Huh?

“Hi Everyone,

it was another day of basketball and another set of EARLY morning games, both Sarah and Thomas had games at 8 am. I went to Sarah’s and Keith went to Thomas’s.

Keith said that in Thomas’s game, he got elbowed right on his face, his cheekbone to be exact, and he never cried. (Tough Guy!) He also said that Thomas was making nearly all his baskets in warm ups this morning, and wondered why he wasn’t given the ball during the fame. He is a hustler, that’s for sure! He is now taking a nap! LOL!

In Sarah’s game…Well, I am having visions of her softball team, Purple Princess Bombers! That great team went all the way to the Championship and won. The Mavericks are 6-0 and with todays win! They beat the Kings, 41-11! 41-11! FORTY ONE TO ELEVEN! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! That is their highest scoring game yet!

Sarah did real well today, got a couple assists and a couple of rebounds but passed the ball to another teammate right away. Her coach told her to just try and make the shot next time, and she tried, bless her heart and got way-laid. by the other team! She got knocked down sideways, landed on her left knee first then her side was out the rest of the game, about 10 minutes or so. She could hardly walk earlier today, but the swelling has now gone down and it’s a little bruised, but she is fine. Another teammate took her free throw shots, and made one out of two, and all the boys (she was the only girl on the team today) kept asking her if she was ok. She liked that a lot.

And THAT is the D’s sports reports for the week… next week Thomas has no game, and Sarah’s is at 11am (Thank God! LOL) at Sims Park.

Toodles, P~”

“Hi L & N,

Hope all is well with you. Thomas really enjoyed talking to you the other day. He asked about calling you for a week or so already! Hopefully he will be able to talk to you again! He just thought that was the greatest thing! He told Colleen his “girlfriend” that he got to talk to his “big sister” and he was just smiling away! He loves you!! He was bummed that Dad had hung up because he wanted to talk to you too N, but dad told him you both had to eat dinner and you L, had to get off the phone. Maybe next time…

His team (the Lakers) practice on Friday nights and play on Saturdays. Last Saturday, if they kept score, they would have lost, thank goodness they don’t keep score! 😉 He wants to join to join the childrens choir at church. They youngest age is 5, and since he will be 5 in a couple months, they might let him.

Sarah is doing good. She is looking forward to Spring break and no school hard to believe that school is almost over! Her class is going on a field trip on Monday, the 25th and she is real excited about that! They are going to the IMAX theater and a museum in Los Angeles. Her basketball team won ;ast Saturdays game too, 25-?? I forget right now, I think 25-18 or something like that. So the Mavericks are 4 for 4! She will join the childrens choir at church, this is something she REALLY wanted to do for a long time.

As you heard, my stepmom passed away last Saturday. She was only 63. She would have been 64 this year. She is my dad’s second wife to die. I feel bad for him. They were married nearly 33 years. Am I happy she died? No, not in the least. Granted we had our ups and downs a lot, but she is/was the only mother I had ever known, since my own mom died when I was 4. My dad is doing ok at the moment, it’s tomorrow that I am really worried about. The funeral is tomorrow. It has been a pretty rough week, but YOUR dad has been a Prince and very supportive. He went to to work today, for the first time since Saturday, and he will go in tomorrow for a couple hours, then will be off the rest of the day. My stepmom had some kind of disease that is more prevalent in people from the midwest. People from the midwest get this disease, whatever it is, more than anyone else. She also had a feeding tube. She couldn’t eat anything solid as she would get very sick and she had had a couple heart attacks already. she when she was taken to the hospital on Thursday, that was the last time. Her kidneys just failed. The doctor told my dad that had she even come out of this, she would have had to have dialysis and she would have that. My older brother and his family were down, and went home friday because they all thought she was getting better, she had been stabilized, only to find out by Saturday, she was not, and they came right back. My dad said it reminded him of when my mother passed away. He and my grandparents had been at the hospital when my mom came out of her coma, and had just left to come home to regroup, only to be called back because she suddenly turned for the worse. My mom was even up talking and laughing with everyone before she died. Weird, huh? Anyway… no one really knows the cause of death. She had been taking a lot of medicines for different things. When they would diagnose one thing and treat it, something else would pop up. When they would diagnose that and treat it, it would be something else and so on. So when we know for sure, I will let you know. A weird thing too, is that she was in the same exact room as Uncle Johnny when he passed away. Those memories of seeing him in that same room flooded back. 😦

Anyway…Thomas is calling me, so I have to go, take care!

Toodles,

P~”

Written 3/21/02 at 12:15pm- because my husband had told me my stepdaughter asked him if I was “happy” about my stepmom’s death.

This was the subject matter of emails. This one she wrote to Keith today, March 20th, at 0714, she asked “Are you dumb, Don’t you get the point?” She talks more crap to him, then without missing a beat she says, “you let your wife create a mess and then ask why the kids treat you the way they do. You let your wife interfere in my personal life and yet are not smart to realize that this is all wrong. Well you just go on believing that everything is right in the world for you . And the rest of us will move knowing the truth you have made sure we all know how you and your wife feel about us….If you are slow to learn then you need to understand there is not much time left to rebuild what you and your wife have destroyed.”

WTF….seriously.

Keith wrote her back at 0917 stating, “(her name), No I am not dumb at all. I will talk to the kids. I was talking to (daughter) last night when you told her it was dinner and she had to eat “right now.” OF COURSE you knew she was talking to me. I was going to ask to talk to (son) when (daughter) hurriedly had to get off the phone.

My wife has nothing to do with anything. She didn’t create anything. YOU are the one that talks to the kids about me and her. YOU are the one that tells the kids its ALL mine or my wife’s fault and it’s YOU that causes conflict. It is YOU that blames your divorce on me and my wife and you even told the kids that!” He went on to tell her that he “can prove how you talk bad about me (and my wife) to the kids. Basically everything you say you haven’t done I can prove you have. You have gotten progressively worse since July of 1995 when you called the cops tried to have me arrested for kidnapping, only for it to blow up in your face. You seem to think that because you “weathered” your Grand Jury experience, you are above the law…I guess time will tell.

My wife has not interfered in your personal life at all… Your personal life was made known when YOU told us and blamed us for your divorce, so she has not interfered in your personal life at all, YOU are the one that made it public. I did read the letter you sent my wife. You said she couldn’t use the letter in court because it doesn’t concern the kids…think again.

You have NO IDEA how my wife feels about (son) and (daughter), but at LEAST be truthful, because we ALL know, including (son) and (daughter) how YOU feel about me and her, because YOU have made sure THE KIDS know how YOU feel about me and her. That was even more clear after a conversation I had with (daughter).

I do pay for my kids. I pay child support. Everything over and above that, is extra’s that if I am lucky enough to KNOW about and if I have the money, I will contribute. I don’t hassle you about anything. YOU on the other hand, are QUEEN of hassling me for EVERYTHING. You have taught the kids to tell me that Nothing is new, nothing is any of my business, and nothing concerns me, where THEY, the kids are concerned. You have apparently taught them that for YEARS and YEARS, because they have it perfected. How can I contribute when I don’t know about it? The only thing I ask is that THE KIDS ask me for help, and they don’t. YOU obviously have to control THAT too. Yep, I haven’t paid anything on (Son’s) car, because for 1, I wasn’t consulted about, for 2, it wouldn’t of mattered what I thought anyway, for 3 (son) didn’t and doesn’t have a job. You even have control over the car. Per your email, you say what, where, when, why and for how long. Never say never….I at least have faith that one day, I will be able to have a heart to heart talk with the kids, when they are out on their own and don’t have to report back to you about what I say to them, and even if they did, they will adults and there would be nothing you can do about it. I have a good life, thanks for your concern.”

She writes:

” If you had not instigated this episode plus the many others then maybe the relationship between (son and daughter) and their dad would not be so strained. You know as well as the kids also that you are the one sending the e-mails and even talking on MSN.

You must thing we are all stupid pawns in game of Richard’s life. The truth be said that you started all the situations that have come up since you arrival in his life. My life and my friends are none of your business and none of Dicks business either.

If he thought I was bad parent or put our children in a bad situation, then it is up to the man with no spine to do something about it.

If he had a spine you would not be the one starting each hassle. You are a nothing of a person and have a miserable life. Therefore you feel the need to hassle me. By doing so you have created such bad feelings between Dick and his children.

It is none of your business about me or my ids. The only reason you know anything is because he was stupid enough to let you.

You can’t repair 9 years of your bullshit and pettiness. But I can.

I will hire a detective to investigate you and your life because I believe you are an endangerment to my children. When and if Dick and I go to court again, I will get a restraining order to keep you away from my kids and me.

Your actions and dwelling in to my personal life will support a restraining order.

If you think you are funny by upsetting my then you never about my children. You are so jealous and self centered and you have no life and that is why you are so interested in mine.

Why don’t you get your fat ass off the couch and out of the drive up lane of every fast food restaurant in town and get a real job. Why don’t you help support your family or are you too good to work.

The truth is you can’t get a job because of this attitude you have about people.

You are not going to upset me any longer, because you have done so much damage that you ruined whatever relationship the kids had with their dad. You waste so much of your time researching, keeping and looking for hassles. You must have wasted a lot of time researching my friends and for what purpose. You continue to waste your time on things that don’t matter and cause even more problems.

I will be sure to piss on your grave and make sure it says that you wasted your life being a bitch and getting into peoples business, not to much ruining dicks relationship with his entire family.

Go ahead you keep this e-mail you can’t use it any court case because it has nothing to do with my kids. It has to do with you being a female dog bitch and being so consumed with jealousy you have created a life out of being in mine.

By the way I go to the bathroom at least 6-7 times a day, My kids love me and respect me too bad you will never get that not even from your own children.

If you so much as e-mail me one more time as a pretense of being dick or even e-mail personally, you will find a lawsuit on your hands. I am sick you and everything you are involved in.

Your previous lover is out of the picture but you continue to e-mail. You are such a liar and you like this crap.

Well I don’t have any time for you and your stupid doings.

You are mean, vicious, vindictive, jealous and just plain ugly. what kind of person does this to people.

Don’t bother answering I won’t read it. You are a loser with no life. So stay out of mine.”

At 10:05am I responded to this psychotic spewage: “WHY wait? TOODLES, P-“

OH this lady….ANYTHING to put me in a bad light. She lies about EVERYTHING. Here is my response at 4:31pm, to her after her phone call to Keith.

“Hi J-

You have obviously misunderstood what I told you about my daughters father. I checked the recorded phone conversations back from 5 year ago.

You said to Keith the other day, that about 5 years, I “cried” to you about my daughters father. First of all, that’s wrong. Cry? PLEASE…My daughters father was mentioned during a normal conversation we, you and I, were having about the birth of mine and Keith’s son (since I just got out of the hospital), visitation arrangements for N and L for summer that year, and who our son, your son and my daughter look like.

You also asked Keith how else would you know that my daughters father was in jail for selling drugs. NOT from me, I assure you. During our conversation on May 28th, 1997, I told you that my daughter looked exactly like her dad and half brother. I told you that she doesn’t even know them, and you made a comment about her not seeing them ever. I told you she didn’t, that he was an “ass” and that “Criminal charges were filed against him,” and this is where you obviously have misunderstood what I said, even though at the time, you “sounded” like you understood. Yes, I did say he was a “druggie” and I told you that I “didn’t need that” and you said, “but he is still her dad.” Our conversation, like I said, was on May 28, 1997.

On May 30, 1997, the criminal prosecution against him was set for Sept.23, 1997. The People of the State of CA vs My daughters Father. It was for FAILURE TO PAY Child Support. The case was continued for arraignment and/or sentencing to October, 30, 1997. AT THAT time, he was placed on diversion, he had to pay a restitution fee, he had to pay the remaining arrearages and current support, and he was to apply to have his drivers license released, since it had been revoked for failure to pay, and he had to appear in court on 10-14-98 for a progress report. According to THOSE court papers of 10-14-98, the criminal action was dismissed, terminated or completed, because he had COMPLIED.

So for as much as you would like to accuse me of saying that I told you my ex had “dealt drugs out of the country and was arrested and thrown in jail for drug charges and child abuse,” it is just not true. I don’t know anything more about him or his life, than the last time I saw him in June of 1994, during a visitation day with our daughter, and then again in Feb or so of 1998 at court, where we sat together and laughed together and guess what? Keith was there too!

Another thing that is really out in left field is your comments how you do not want YOUR kids subjected to MY “previous life.” This is one of the MOST ridiculous things I have ever heard you say. Incredible that you would think my daughters father was any kind of THREAT to “your” kids, when he has no contact whatsoever with our daughter since she was 10 months old. She will be 9 this year.

I don’t know why you brought my daughters father up to begin with anyway. He has no bearing whatsoever on N and E, although I can’t say the same for your buddy D. S., who HAS been thrown in jail for drug trafficking (and charged) and HAS stayed in your home and HAS been around your kids.

I also remember a conversation you had with Keith where you told him to not be surprised if N “smokes pot” and how your own niece has been in juvenile hall for shoplifting. I remember hearing him tell you that if he ever caught or found out your niece was giving N and E any kind of drugs or anything, he would be calling the cops. I remember you telling him that he had no right to do that.

Before you start throwing accusations around about people you know NOTHING about, (my daughter’s father and his life) maybe you should look in your own back yard. Very rarely do I e-mail you or talk to you about anything, but I am sick of this particular thing that is going on where you bring up my daughters father when he has nothing to do with anything.

Hopefully this will be the end of your talk of my daughters father (and of myself and of my kids, thank you very much…hey, I can dream can’t I?) in your conversations with Keith.

This email is being sent to my daughters father.
