I caved and turned the phone on but Randy was grumpy so it wasn’t a very good call. He did tell me he heard from the judge and he won’t grant him the divorce until paternity is established and custody can be granted to either him or Carrie since they are married. Blah, that’s not exactly something I wanted to hear even if it does make sense. I just hope they don’t drag the paternity out. You know how court dates keep moving further back and back. I really want this all settled before he comes home. Speaking of which, his hearing is this upcoming week and we’ll find out in less than a week what is going on. AHHH!!

First off, because I’m so stressed out about not seeing Randy lately and edgy he asked mom to bring me up this weekend (the whole problem is that I can’t drive after working, I can’t keep my eyes open so I’ll get into an accident) and she agreed. So either Saturday or Sunday I finally get to see him again after over a month of not (May 31st). I’m SO excited, I cannot WAIT to see him again. *sigh*

Why does it always seem that on one word blog day I ALWAYS have something to say? I’m typing this on Monday but won’t post until July 1st so I still participate in OWBD. Well what is going on now…

Randy had court today. Carrie originally filed for it and it was for custody/support so she would get full custody and child support. Randy filed for paternity so all 3 were supposed to be going on today. Guess who didn’t show up? You got it, Carrie. I think it’s because there is a violation on for the next date so she probably violated the terms of her custody agreement with social services on the child abuse charges. Randy did court over the phone with the judge and appointed him a lawyer who will be receiving all the paperwork and will be arranging the test. The judge asked if he’d ever lived with the child and he told him no, the only way he’s seen him is from me taking a picture. Then the judge proceeded to ask if he was in a relationship already and he told him, the judge laughed and said well that’s longer than your marriage. :-p Pffft.

Their next court date is July 29th I believe which is when Carrie will be told she has to take Dillion to wherever to get his DNA and then there will be another date for the announcement of the results I imagine so we probably won’t end up finding out until the beginning of September or so. Blah, at least it’s in motion right now though and it’s looking bad for her. I hope to god he isn’t his but if he is there’s a long road ahead of us because he’s going to be fighting for custody although it probably won’t be hard with her current record. So there is one less stress on me, that’s all in motion to hopefully be taken care of. As long as it’s before he comes home I’ll be happy. I don’t want to be driving his butt down to Wellsville constantly for court.

Next up this month is hopefully receiving his divorce papers back which say that he is officially divorced and free from her. His parole board is also this month which will determine if he definitely comes home in November. Needless to say, anticipation was the perfect word to use yesterday. I’m anticipating every single day because I just want everything to be done. I hate uncertainty with an undying passion. We’ll stop arguing so much (petty shit) once we know if he’s def coming home too. That’s causing us both to be on edge.

Hurry up July, speed along!

Well I did get to talk to him this morning thankfully but it wasn’t long enough and I broke down and bawled because I just had a moment. I also got my work schedule for next week and guess who has to work friday and saturday again? yes, ME. So I’m calling Rose as soon as she’s in her office because I was supposed to have every other weekend off and I haven’t had one off since I started which was the first weekend in MAY, almost 2 full months. I need to see him, there is no questions about it. He keeps me sane. So let’s hope that phone call goes well otherwise…. well I don’t know right now. Once I do get to do that visit though I need to make sure my jimmy is on the road because my brother is going to be needing to get to work. Thankfully my mom is going to insure it for me, otherwise I’d have to do auto insurance comparison and that never turns out pretty. Being young and having tickets/accidents from the past 3 years = VERY high rates. That will change eventually but for now we’ll rely on good old mommy. I’ll pay her the difference instead.

*falls down on the ground and passes out* Oh hi everyone! I slept from 8am until 8:45pm today. Yes, almost 13 hours. I think my body is just exhausted from working the night shift and then not getting as much sleep as I should be. Last night the concert went really well. We didn’t have tons of people and no major issues with stupid drunk people. Tonight is going to be rather slow I imagine and up until Thursday we should have the same amount of slowness. Morgan comes back on Wednesday thankfully. I miss my awesome supervisor. I’m really just excited for Friday when my cousins from West Virginia are coming to visit. I can’t WAIT to see them.

Today is also my year and a half anniversary with Randy. :) Too bad we can’t celebrate at all but perhaps I’ll look through a travel guide to come up with ideas for future anniversaries. We’ve got quite a bit of catching up to do.

And I just discovered he can’t call me today because global tel had the line blocked. I hate how sometimes it doesn’t update right away and we don’t even expect the line to be blocked. I made a payment but considering it is Sunday… no calls till tomorrow. What a shitty day for this to happen.

Well I got to talk to him so I’m feeling much better. I found out a few things. His parole officer got my letters that I sent in (all 6) and things look incredibly good for him with all the support and examples of how he’s bettered his life and won’t end up in any more trouble. I also have decided I’m not going to court on the 30th because I don’t want to see or deal with Carrie at ALL because she’s just psychotic. That is the only way to describe her. He’s doing court over the phone and hopefully the DNA test can get ordered. I just want everything to get taken care of once and for all. Everyone’s stress levels will dramatically decrease. It’s all going to be established within the next month so how about we just jump ahead 30 days and the stress can vanish? I like that idea a lot. We’re still discussing going to Splash Lagoon for a mini vacation as well which might help the stress. I’d prefer to go somewhere like the Outer Banks for about a week or so. Getting away for a brief time period can give someone a whole new perspective on things and a nice mental reboot.
