Took Sarah, Thomas and myself to get our hair cut. N wanted one too so he came along with us.
Another Update
Sarah is doing fine- couldn’t afford tutoring but making her read to me, and working in reading books she had worked on in class.
Enjoying her summer, my stepkids are here and my husband has to work, so Sarah will play with them, her brother Thomas or her friends. She’s learned to ride a two wheeler bike now. She rides side saddle, she like to ride that way and give me gray hair.
She’s lost two front teeth, she looks and talks different. I’ll take pics and send them to him. She tries to whistle and that is funny!
She’s enjoying the pool where we live. I call her my little chocolate drop because she is sooo dark. Must be the Portuguese in her. She tells me she’s not a chocolate drop.
It’s’ her 6th birthday tomorrow. We haven’t told her our plans yet, except to say we have a surprise. She says, “Is it the other tomorrow, Mom?”
I wish the relationship between him and her was there because I would invite him, but oh well, it’s his decision.
We are going roller skating today, I think. Sarah told me I needed to buy her new skates, so we’ll see.
Hope all is well with him and his family. How are his sisters and their kids and family? Hope everyone is fine.
Take care and God Bless him.

The ex told Keith that the only problem she has is “you and your wife interfering in my personal business and causing me problems with my husband and that is the only reference I have given you MEANING STAY THE HECK OUT OF MY BUSINESS”
Page 2 of this email, Keith had told her, “Nice try…the fact is on Feb. 2nd I called for the kids at 454pm and they returned my call on this day. On Feb. 19th I called the kids at 610pm to tell them about my brother passing away on the 18th. (Daughter) called me back at 630pm and again at 634pm because she got disconnected. Not only this, but I remember being told that you were in San Diego celebrating your anniversary! We just happened to find out quite by accident that you weren’t even in (her city) at that time! Thank you for making me sit here and think because it is becoming clearer and clearer…the message we got was that you did not want to speak to me or my wife so you could tell the kids about my brother and that you said I had to, and the reason was because you weren’t even there! WOW!!!! so again…I NEVER spoke to you the whole month of Feb!! she wrote, “My mistake on the month could have been January or March I will check my details and the truth of the matter is probably during the telephone call on the 2nd. Why must you do this? Don’t you have a life? These are your kids not a commodity to argue over and disagree about. They are stuck in the middle here And you did yell at me at say that the papers weren’t meant to have me call each time they had to go to the doctor. You are just lying as usual to make yourself look good or better yet not to admit it to all of us that you really don’t care about such trivial details except your wife makes you”
As usual, she gets caught in a lie, and as usual, she tries to spin it. Isn’t that a narcissistic trait? Funny that she wants me to butt out but mentions me ALL the time.

In a response, Keith told her to leave me out of her harassing correspondence to him. In this current email, the ex retorted: “CHECK YOUR E-MAILS SENT LATELY SEE WHAT YOUR WIFE HAS SENT ME IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS….”
I’ll look up what I’ve sent her and post it later.
Keith told her that she “needs to abide by the court orders, that they were made and agreed to for (their) protection and benefit.” She responded with “You should check with your wife and her e-mails on this one, she thinks or you think differently from the e-mails I received on Friday July 23 1999.”
I’ll have to check into that…will post about that later.

The ex STILL complaining and blaming. in an email this evening, she emailed Keith with bs, including this: “you caused so many problems ever since that summer you let your wife but in on matters that did not concern her and that she knew nothing about…Keep your focus on your own problems which is the lack of money and a wife with no job, two more kids to support when you were having difficulty supporting the two you already had, stability in your life and your own unhappiness towards what the world has dealt you.” HUH? LOL
I do work, it’s summer so I am on Summer break 😉 Why is she so concerned about me and my kids? How hypocritical is she? She told me to “Butt out” how many years ago? Yet she can’t stop writing about me. Who’s who’s hobby? LOL

I just can’t imagine waking up so mad all the time. The ex emailed at 0651am this morning, talking about how her life is the kids life and they are involved in her marriage too.
Of course, she brought me up, shocking. She wrote, “the taping of telephone calls isn’t enough to keep you and your wife busy…” and accused us of reading the kids mail and emails. She said, “I never realized how you are both so jealous.”
She told Keith, ” JUST PALY DADDY WITH YOUR LITTLE ONES AND LEAVE ME ALONE.”
AGAIN, she brings up my kids.
SHE sound jealous. SHE is the one that moved the kids 1200 miles away and they don’t get to spend time with Keith.
Birthday Gifts for L
Sent them on 6-15 and they were delivered on 6-17! WHEW, just in time, for her birthday tomorrow. SOMETIMES, ya just never know with the P.O. LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, L!

Back story, on May 24th, the ex wrote and told Keith that their daughters reading level has improved some with the help of “Hooked On Phonics.” She said, “Maybe you could look into a summer school there or some other special help for her reading.”
He responded on May 27th, explaining that he will do whatever he can for his daughter while she was with him, but registering her for a summer reading program may make it difficult since she is not a registered student in our district. He asked what her reading level was.
On June 5th, Keith wrote her back and asked her what their daughter’s reading is now, that he found someone who could help during the summer, and the person asked what her reading level is.
She then changed her mind. She wrote back and said that she thought her daughter improved on her reading and will complete her “hooked on Phonics” before she leaves for visitation, so don’t worry about it other than to be sure she reads every day for an hour. She adds, “I doubt she wants to spend her visit with you with SOMEONE teaching her to read.”
On June 6th, she wrote back and said, ‘I was thinking she might want to spend time off with you as opposed to summer school of sorts and that you could probably achieve the same results by just being sure she reads an hour a day and listening to her read.”
She never answered what reading level she was at.
Since Keith worked the same hours as the school office, and he wasn’t “allowed” to communicate with the teachers, he asked me to call the school and speak to his daughter’s teacher to ask what his daughters reading level is.
Well, on this day, his ex emailed him and said that her daughters teacher called in the morning with some questions about their daughter’s reading level. The ex FINALLY answered the questioned Keith had asked several weeks back.
And on cue she writes, “Why is it your wife has to show so much interest in what your children are doing. I thought she had children of her own. I would imagine that you would be the one who is interested in their activities. “
GEEZUS….
Updates
Wrote Anthony a letter letting him know what’s been happening with our daughter.
She graduated from Kinder, got a little diploma, it was really cute.
She got a trophy and a yearbook from her Softball ceremony. I didn’t like the constant bickering between the coach and manager and team mom in front of the girls. It was just too much.
Sarah has started summer vacation, going to have her tested to see what her reading level is. She had difficulty in this subject but improved by years end.
I had sent Anthony some pics. I asked if he liked them or if he got them.

Still pissed off and arguing about the Summer ticket that Keith had me buy, his ex emailed him and mentioned me by saying, “If you were to have your wife stick her nose into the mileage plan information you would see that all the times (her husband’s name) has upgraded the kids to first class and they have flown have contributed to the mileage they have earned.” She went on to say that “this” (upgrades?) will never happen again and that Keith was not “entitled” to anything in her life. As if. What she continues to fail to understand is that when it was ordered they split airfare 50/50, that meant 50% of the TOTAL airfare, not what she says it is.
She told him in another paragraph that her husband is “equally as mad” as she is, “if not more” at Keith’s continued interference in their personal business. Personal business? The kids are her and her and her husband’s personal business? Since when? OH and this is rich, like she told me on the phone, she told Keith in this email that, “a divorce is in the making because of the constant harassment over the years from you and your wife.”
She hoped he recorded her phone call to me. It was. If I could attach it here, I would. She also told him, “tell your wife to get a hobby something other than (her name in all CAPS) in her life. How about a job? so you won’t have to whine about the cost of you older children because she has sucked you dry with two more kids who require constant medical attention. If you have something to say I would prefer to speak to only you and when I pick up my children I want to meet with you to finally settle things in person fact to face without your wife holding your ????????”
Isn’t she disgusting to mention my kids like that?
