You Got Served

They tried to serve K yesterday at her work, but when they went up there, they told the guy she no longer works there. Very interesting as she had just stopped by the house two hours before for a "work shirt". That began a 22 hour freak-out. She had to legally get served by Saturday for court on Monday.

Around 7:30, when I pulled up last night, K pulled in with her friend as I was unpacking the car. She said they had been "off work" for an hour because they were "slow". Yeah, right. But, before I could call the server, she was gone again.

She never called me last night like she said she would. This morning, we left early to run some errands and K called. She was "off" today and needed in the house. I told her I was stuck for a few hours, but I could then come get her at her "work". She called me back saying she was just going to stay at McDonalds because she wasn't "dressed" enough to see people at "work". Yeah, right.

As I was on my way to go get her, I received a text that said "Hey, this is K. I am leaving with a friend, I'll call you." I sent a text right back that said I was on my way and to call me asap. Someone text me back that she had left and she was just borrowing their phone. I was back to square one.

Finally, I got a call from her about 45 mins later saying she was back at the McDonalds. WTF? So, I said OKAY! STAY THERE! I called the server to tell him to meet us at the house and as soon as she got out of the car to serve her.

We pulled up. She was served. And all was calm. For now. Hopefully? For the rest of the weekend. I told her if she would sign the papers, I would drop the case. I'm not asking for adoption or permanent custody. I'm simply asking for temporary custody until she has a mental evaluation, clean drug screen, stable place to live, and income to support her and the baby.

I'll update here if anything else goes down, but for now, this is the calm before the storm. Monday morning we have court at 10 am. I have to be at my lawyers office at 9 am to discuss everything. Please keep us in your prayers for Monday at 10 am EST. Please pray the judge makes the right decision about A. I'm not going to keep K from seeing A, I just need to make sure she's safe. K is free to come see her any time she wants.

As far as her getting fired, I'm not mentioning a word about it until the court hearing.

Thank you all for your love and support. I can't tell you how awful I feel emotionally about everything. I fucking love these two girls and just want the best for them. One will listen to me because she's not old enough to make her own decisions, but the other is and she's fucking it up. It kills me inside, truly.

God has a plan though. I've just have to be strong enough to make through the storm, weathered, but alive.

Sometimes people just need a little help. Hopefully all of this will show K that she needs to straighten up and get clean! You are doing the right thing by protecting A. What a great Aunt you are!!! They are both blessed to have you in their lives! Good luck honey! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!!
