Friday August 24

Woke up a little behind schedule this morning, so I had to race around and get things ready. Got out the door and barely to work on time. Had a pretty good day, decided that since I came in early a few days this week, I was going to go home half hour early so we could make it to TKD on time, so we didn't have to go on Saturday morning. Today was the day that C's biological father (who was in jail for criminal non support charges, guess he should have been paying his child support!) was supposed to go before the court for his plea date. And then if he pleaded not-guilty (I don't see how he could) then it would go to trial on 9/20. Anyway, I got an email fromt he Assistant DA saying that biological's lawyer was sick and couldn't make it to court, so they re-scheduled for 9/12 and released bio on a signed document saying that he would show up for court. I was a little nervous all day, not knowing if he was going to show up at the house and want C for the weekend (it was his scheduled every other weekend, and then C wouldn't be able to go to his football jamboree). Later during the day I got an email from the assistant DA that he copied me on and sent to bio's lawyer, offering him a deal that if he pleads guilty on the 12th, that they will drop charges to a class A misdemeaner instead of a felony, that they would not ask for any more jail time and that the time served be enough (32 days in our county, and 11 days up in his state before being extradited here.) and then he has to pay the monthly child support and an extra $93 each month towards the arrears (in excess of $22000.00) So this would be good for C to finally be getting his child support. Got home in plenty of time for TKD, found the sitter was making us a stir fry for dinner. There wasn't time to eat before TKD, so we had it setup to eat when we got home. Went to class and one of the kids that G started TKD with was at the Friday class, so they had fun together, becuase they were the only 2 purple belts. There were 3 yellow belts, and 4 senior purple belts. Today G earned his Basic (Nine Movement) stripe, and his kicking (axe kick) stripes. He was super stoked. No football practice today, so after TKD we went home and had the stir fry dinner it was delicious! After that the kids played WII and I hung out with baby. Dad got home fairly early tonight. Got baby to bed late.
