Sorry about the departure from the promised standard updates. Jennifer’s mother has been going through some rough times — she lost her home and has no job — so the wife and I have been watching her kids continuously for the past three weeks. I currently get off of work at one in the morning, have to leave to take the kids to school around seven, and have to pick them up again at three. Then I have to go to work at four. So, needless to say, I am sleeping pretty much any chance I can, leaving little to no time to blog.
We are actually quite annoyed by current circumstances. Her mother has no way for us to get ahold of her, and no address so we can’t even go by to catch up with her. We would like to transfer the kids from the school they are in on the opposite side of Ft. Worth to the better school two blocks from our house, but can’t as we don’t have custody. We can’t even take them to the doctor without their mother — we don’t so much as know their social security numbers. We are trying to get temporary custody or power of attorney so we can take care of the kids, but it is not easy because their mother is afraid that if she lets us have any type of guardianship she will lose her child support or food stamps. We don’t give a shit about the money — we want what is best for the kids — but it is really hard to get someone who doesn’t think the same way to understand that.
Anyone reading this have experience with similar circumstances who can give us any advice? If so, please drop me a comment or email me.
