subpoena

By · 1 Comment

Subpoena- the usual writ for the summoning of witnesses or the submission of evidence, as records or documents, before a court or other deliberative body.

I hear people are getting subpoenas to my custody hearing.  I find it strange that one person who is being summoned only knew me for about a month and a half.  This should really be interesting.  What he can say that has any relevance to me as a fit mother?

So I’m thinking, who should I have come testify on my behalf?  My sister Suz, my son Jarrid or Zeth, my parents, relatives, friends, etc.  Who should I consider to subpoena as to the character of my daughter’s father?  John’s first wife?  Numerous girlfriends?  His family?  Our employees, old and current?

Will people lie on the stand?  It’s happened in the past…

Waiting for court,

~P.

Dear John VIII

By · Leave a Comment

Dear John,

   We just spoke moments ago, but I feel the need to write you.  I give you credit for being active in Tesla’s life.  I even let you keep her extra days so you can take her places and do things that I can’t afford.  Thanks for letting me know she is taking gymnastics and that you are paying for it.  That’s awesome for Tess!  I will gladly take her on my Wednesday nights.

    What upsets me is your statement during our phone conversation.  “I am telling you Tesla will be going to school at Eastern.”  Another thing that upsets me is all the drama you are causing in my family and with my former room mate John Ott.  I realize you want my family to testify for you and John Ott also.  What I don’t get is what the heck are you trying to prove?

Just let a judge decide,

~P.

Limitless

He is hunky

LIMITLESS

Based on the book “The Dark Fields”

This was a movie about a writer who takes a clear pill and in 30 seconds this pill gives him the ability to “know what to do” in his life to survive.  Eddie began taking these pills and always knew what to do next…eventually by taking more he could predict the future.  Eddie was one funny guy, and the movie was excellent.  Actor,  Robert DeNiro really added to the intensity of the flick.

I related to Eddie struggling to survive and liked how he felt free to achieve.  Of course, that was a movie.  🙂  He jumped off a cliff somewhere in the world (well, a stunt double did) and suddenly knew what he wanted to in his life and who to do it with.  I won’t be jumping any cliffs.  Parasailing and jumping out of a perfectly good airplane was enough on my bucket list.

There are so many things I want to achieve in life.  Raising my daughter is most important right now.  I’m thrilled how things are going with Dale and Tesla really likes him too.  I guess Dale and John will have to meet soon.  Whenever John brings it up, he is welcome to meet Dale.  I prefer this over John calling Dale or showing up at Dale’s business.  John is known for doing these sorts of things.  I recommend hanging up on John actually, but I’m sure some people want to talk to him.

Anyway, the movie was great.  Watch it if you get a chance.

Still waiting….limitlessly, for a divorce.

~P.

Now I know

Remember this blog?  http://girlboxer1970.com/2011/02/21/obsessed-with-everything/

Now I get where John got the idea.  This is Tesla’s hand-me-downs from Heather, John’s girlfriend, daughters.  I don’t mind the hand-me-downs at all!  Thanks so much Heather.  I just think it’s weird you write MOM inside your daughter’s clothes.

Now we all know

Off to class

By · 2 Comments

Just had breakfast with Tesla and chatted about what we want to do tomorrow.  She requested the “big rooster” puzzle and I instantly knew she meant Big Bird puzzle, the character from Sesame Street.  Second on her list is brownies that she picked out at the grocery store.  Tesla picked out the really expensive ones and that’s fine by me. 

That was about it on her list.  My list included going through all her toys and organizing her room.  I told her we would make piles of her toys to keep, throw away and donate.  She smiled and asked, “Can we jump over them?”  🙂  She’s soo funny! 

We discussed her hair-length and she informed me she wants to grow it long, like Mommy’s.  She only wants LaDonna to cut her bangs. 

Ok, Tess just brought Ying up from the garage.  I gotta get to class, and put Ying back in the garage.  He ate an entire ear of corn minus some cob.  Hard to say what his digestive track may be like. 

Math here I come,

Dear Dale

By · 7 Comments

Dear Dale,

You have treated my daughter and I with kindness that I would have never expected.  While you were married to my sister, Suz’s, highschool best friend, I had never met you.  Even, your cousin, Joey Keefer, was my friend and neighbor.  Was that confusing?

Joey and I chatted about you and he put in very good words for.  “It’s amazing he’s alive!” he said.  “I remember when we were kids and he was hit by that car.  He turned out to be a great guy.”

I told Joey about meeting you and how you are helping me get settled in.  He said, “That doesn’t surprise me.  Dale’s like that to people he feels close to.”

I am like that with people I care about, and I care about you very much.  You are a brave man not only for wanting to be involved in helping me with life, but wanting to be in my life.  Unfortunately, there is a rather large problem.  I can’t get divorced from John, or at least that is how it feels.  This divorce issue has been dragging my life out for too long.   http://girlboxer1970.com/2011/07/13/dear-john-letter/

What I can do, is show my daughter the proper way to build a relationship.  My answer to your question “if you could marry me, would you?” is yes.  I would.  That’s the great news!! 🙂   The bad news is, I actually have to wait until I’m divorced.  So while I’m waiting, and paying my rent, we have time to get to know each other.

Right now honey, you are the sweetest man I ever met and don’t get frustrated when I keep you from helping me even more.  I can do this, but I appreciate your help.  Maybe in less than a year we could move in together, we just have to be patient!

Not “John’s Good Girl” for much longer, (especially if I agree to get that covered up by your tattoo friend)

Love,

~P.

Dear Dad

By · Leave a Comment

Walt,

You have Suz pretty upset with you today.  She said you were raising hell about Tesla visiting at the Crider household.  Does it ever occur to you that Tesla wants to see her Grandmother, aunt and cousin?  Why do you have such a problem with your only granddaughter coming to visit?  Do you hold it against her that I am her mom?  I know you and I don’t get along, but give my kid a break.  The heat got to her and she had to throw up.  Was it necessary to scream at Suz that there was to much noise for you to sleep, while Tesla barfed?  The child was SICK!  Tesla doesn’t want to talk to you because you are mean.

I find it amazing that you sat with my future ex-husband at the Revolutions Game.  You know, that night you sang the National Anthem.  Tesla missed hearing you sing, because her dad and the rest of the gang were late.  Didn’t you have anyone else to sit with?

My child hasn’t done anything to you.  If you cause your granddaughter to not like you, it’s your loss.  Just like it’s your loss your offspring don’t want to talk to you.  I guess moving FAR away will solve all the problems with having to see your family.  It’s sad my mother has so little say in where she will live.

Why is it I can get along with anyone BUT my husband and father?  I married a man just like my dear old dad I suppose.

Just how I see it,

~P.

Dear John V

Drama

Dear John,

Last night I learned you called my former room-mate, John Ott.  It is outrageous that you are calling around, looking for anything to make up a story, for court.  I don’t call your people….. they call, text, email and message me.  Please stop causing drama and wild rumors to spread.  It’s just not following the rules of Kid’s First. http://girlboxer1970.com/2011/07/11/kids-first/

Tesla is what is most important and she has a same, normal home.  Back out of my life and stop this endless drama so I can enjoy writing about all the stupid, mean, backstabbing things you did in the past.

I’m sure as I blog, I will work through my depression, developed after meeting you.  My therapist, Cathy Snelbaker at T.W. Ponessa has been supportive in any decisions I made.  You had the opportunity to attend counseling to work on our marriage.  You chose to stop going saying I would never change and admitting to knowing you couldn’t.  I’ve accepted that, so let’s move on.

I don’t bother any of your peeps, I treat Heather with respect when I see you.  I am nice to her kids and encourage Tesla to think of them as family.  I hope you can keep it together this time.

Stop calling people in my life.  I have enough to write about as life is.

Thank you,

Pattie

Test

By · 2 Comments

This colorblind test has nothing to do with my blog. Hopefully you see the number 3 there.

Text.  Test.  Test.

What the hell is that all about?  I have a math test due, but not until Monday.  So I’m not actually panicking, just reminding myself I should do it now.  I just finished writing my husband a letter (http://girlboxer1970.com/2011/07/21/dear-john-iv/ ) and should work on my math so I have all weekend to myself with Tesla.  But first, I want to write about something.

Sitting in my bedroom with my “new to me” air conditioner, I want to share a few thoughts while I wait for the gas man to arrive and give me gas.  Yes, it’s been a week since I moved in here and the gas man will finally cometh.

I marvel at the Commonwealth of PA’s welfare program.  While PA isn’t a state it’s often referred to as a State or PA State.  Regardless, there is a welfare system that can easily trap people into giving up in life, just letting the State pay their way.  By taking the time to learn how to use the State assistance program, I have made use of numerous benefits.

The Commonwealth of PA’s assistance program can work for someone who is having some bad luck in life.  My benefits are substantial, including medical insurance, mental health assistance with therapy for depression, dental, tuition money, grants, scholarships, loans, a car purchase, reimbursement of mileage, payment of textbooks and probably even more.  Not all just for me, but Tesla too.  The State will cover my daughter’s allergy tests at Hershey Medical Center because I am one of those people who have fallen on hard times.  My life is a wreck and seems stuck in a rut.

I did notice on the PA child custody website that John could be held accountable for all costs the State covers that they feel he should be attempting, instead of cancelling the little insurance policy Tesla and I did have.  Wouldn’t that be something if he has to reimburse the State?

Life is a test.  An endurance test.  Take it one day at a time.  🙂

Enduring life a little cooler,

~P.

Vic ran away

By · Leave a Comment

Bruiser (rip) Boo (given away) Vic (MIA)

Remember that blog titled Disposable Pets?  http://wp.me/p1j2Ur-cF

Tesla noticed I hung up the picture of her and her black lab, Vic.  She was so excited to see the photo. “That’s my Victors!” she said grinning from ear to ear, followed by,  “He is gone now.”

WHOA!  Where did that come from?  “Where did he go?” I asked.

“He ran away and didn’t get along with the new puppies.  Daddy said he is gone.”  she answered.

Vic ran away?  PLEASE….that dog was to lazy to run away.  Give me a break!  I’m not 5 years old, just Tesla.

~P.
