There's............

no place like home!

Safe travels Jace........

Jace had court today. first let me say he had 2 different court times...he missed the first one 8AM and the second one 12noon was changed to 1PM so needless to say I was doing a lot of unnecessary driving around the West Chester area. Finally the 1PM court starts and we sit and sit and sit and sit and sit through who knows how many domestic violence cases...OMG it was crazy...just like "Judge Judy"

Well at 3:30 he still had not been called so I left to go feed Ollie and Jr. By the time I had returned he was finished...with a fairly positive outcome...lucky DOG!

His charge was driving with a suspended Ohio license and no insurance papers in the car. Well before I left I gave him the proof of insurance and he got off with a fine of court cost and a minimum charge for no license which he has until Feb to pay...Oh yea he must return again in Feb to validate the payment has been made.

All in all he skated by pretty easy although he has to come up with a total of about $300 bucks.

He departs again Weds AM...I'm sure I will see him sooner than later

safe travels Prodigal son!

back to

TRANQUILLITY!

Jace back again.....

Well he's back again...Court date tomorrow Tues 9Am....Somehow , someway he's been back to Cincy 3 times in the last month...that's a record. Each time he has spent lots of time with Alex and Payton, each time he has spent lots of time with a variety of Bengal fanatical friends, each time he has attended Crossroads with me...bringing the boys along, each time he has used every bit of gas in my vehicle but this last time he at least donated gas money. Each time he somehow manages to stay with a variety of friends allowing me my time and space. He has a key so he goes and comes as he pleases. The dogs like having him around, the boys like having him around and I like having him around especially when he stays with friends and gives me gas money. All in all I can see a maturing in him over the years if I look really really hard...hes definitely not the norm and as KK would say has away of raising one's stress level ...but as my kids go I really really lucked out with Jaman as a first. Jason as a second and KK bringing up the rear. Which by the way is a whole nother story. KK's rear I mean...I dont think she even owns ONE pair of baggy jeans geeze.

I cant forget my little priness....who will steal the show everytime..at least her pants are still baggy

Thank GOD!
