Changes

Many changes are happening; some wonderful, some difficult and some a little of both.

This past weekend my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time camping with some very special people and the course of events drew us closer and opened us both up to talking, sharing fears, hopes and dreams, and I think just resolving our commitment to each other.

And what a great thing that is indeed as this morning, prior to my picking up the children I was informed that I will no longer be the childcare provider to the two little ones during my ex-husbands legal visitation time per the parenting plan.

We have a 50/50 custody plan and as he works full time during the day we had a verbal agreement that he would pay me $75/every two weeks to provide care for our children ages 4 & 6. We agreed that this was in the best interest of Kathryn and Liam.

As it is now summer he has had to drop and pick up the children from my apartment that I share with my boyfriend. During the school year he dropped off Kathryn and would than pick her up from the bus stop.
Apparently this past week he saw James in the parking lot and that didn't sit to well with him.

So call me a bitch but it is black and white from here on out, the legal visitation for the paperwork is the legal visitation. No flexibility. I can't be yanked around when it comes to the care of the kids, they need a firm schedule that they can visibly see so that they can have a set routine.

Honestly, there are a tone of thoughts/feelings running through me right now, but I think I have them sorted out.
Hey, at least I got to be there helping my little girl through Kindergarten.
