Sent N’s cd on 10/8. The package was delivered 10/12 at 2:26 pm.

Sometimes sending things to the kids takes 2 days, sometimes longer. I guess it depends on the mail volume. Weird, but it is what it is.

9 days later….9 days…. Keith gets this letter today from the ex. Right off the bat, “(daughter) lost one of her contact lenses.” She says the replacement won’t be paid by any insurance company and the out of pocket expense for it is $75.00 and she “Your prompt payment for half of this will be appreciated.” Can you believe that shit?!

A letter this time from the ex. Apparently she isn’t happy again…SHOCKING.

Between August 1999 and this date, the ex has been emailing or writing letters to Keith about a Vision bill and provider. I wasn’t mentioned in any of them until today. The ex wrote that at an appointment for their daughter, she was told “within ear shot” of their daughter about a conversation he had with the Doctor. The ex said she had also been sent a copy of a letter Keith wrote the doctor’s office. She said she and her daughter were “both quite embarrassed to find out what you and your wife have been doing.”

What have we been doing? Interesting. She went on to say “Because of your harassment and your insurance company this has caused an inconvenience to me and to your children…Please be advised that I don’t want any harassing response from you regarding this. I will seek an attorney and file a restraining order.”

REALLY? BRING IT….she won’t. She threatens this shit all the time and has never brought a restraining order against either of us. On what grounds? That SHE isn’t using the insurance properly therefore causing the insurance problems herself because she’s not using providers contracted with our insurance company? Bring it!

According to the FL-192- Notice of Rights and Responsibilities #7 says that if there is a designated healthcare provider, that provider must be used at all times, and if they aren’t, then the expense that would have been paid by the preferred health care provider will be the “SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARTY INCURRING THOSE COSTS.” CHECK IT OUT. https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/fl192.pdf

Thanked Anthony for sending Sarah’s new care. I appreciated it. Told him we got it yesterday.

She’s good, her first week of school went well. She got a warning for talking though and she got her seat moved. Teacher said she moves seats around anyway often during the school year, it just happened to be Sarah’s turn I guess, she is chatty though.

She also lost another tooth yesterday, a bottom one. She was wiggling it back and forth and said she heard a “crack” noise and out fell her tooth! Her teacher put it in an envelope so she wouldn’t lose it. She’s pretty excited, I guess she knows what happens next…MONEY!

A day before school started I had to take her to the docs. Ear infection and sore throat. She’s not sick all summer then just before school starts she gets sick. She’s on antibiotics, doesn’t like it, but hasn’t missed any school.

I still plan on sending pics, but have to get them developed, probably this week.

Take care and God bless him and his family.

Received a new insurance card for Sarah from Anthony.

His birthday gift was sent a little late. On his birthday, 9/4, along with a $50 check for his birthday. It was delivered today, 9/7 at 2:01 pm.

On August 25th, we sent the kids 4 boxes of gifts.

Two boxes were delivered on the 28th at 1:11 pm.

One box was attempted delivery on 8/27 at 12:52 pm, but a notice was left to either be picked up or redelivered or it will be sent back to us. It was eventually delivered on 8/30 at 11:34 am.

One box was attempted delivery on 8/28 at 1:14 pm but a notice was left. This box was eventually delivered at 11:34 am on 8/30.

One other box was sent to L on 8/26 and it too was delivered on 8/28 with the other two boxes delivered on that day.

Got an EOB from the primary insurance but realized it wasn’t for Sarah so I had to send it to Anthony.

I also told him she was good, we had gone school shopping for her the other night and got all her uniforms and things, and last week we went school supply shopping, pencils, papers, glue, tissue. She is very anxious about starting school again, and she wants to go NOW, not start in 2 weeks. I reminded her that there is no rest time since she will be in first grade now and that she is going to have to buckle down and pay close attention, of course she said she KNEW this.

She got a blunt cut and it looks good, my sister came by and really liked her haircut. It kind of makes her look older.

That was it for now. I hope all is well with him and his family. Take care and God Bless them all.

Took Sarah, Thomas and myself to get our hair cut. N wanted one too so he came along with us.

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.
