Weather, family court, and other things

Can someone PLEASE tell me what is going on with this weather? Last week we had a major snow storm. Schools were even delayed then overnight it was in the high 70s and I think even the 80s for a short period of time and then last night it turned wicked cold again! I woke up this morning to TX being hit with killer tornadoes again! I feel so sorry for Sugarplums Grandma Texas as she lives down there (obviously) and was hit by the tale end of Katrina now this... she is expecting to loose power any time if not already and probably won't have any for about a week. Us up here, I don't know if I should send the kids to school in shorts or jeans let alone make sure they bring the right jacket (rain, spring or winter) because in the past week they have used all of them at least once and have even gone some days without a shirt (boys only of course to play outside not go to school).

I was in lovely family court yesterday. Pretty much for the whole day. T had trial yesterday for her 6 year old daughter. She now is the proud parent of primarily physical custody with visitation on Tuesdays and weekends to dad. To anyone who has dealt with family court it means she won - FINALLY after 6 years. I told to just keep plucking away and sooner or later the system will get with her. I go back June 5th for pre-trial for Gymnast, Skater and Bubba. Right now I have sole legal and physical custody and he has visitation 2 weekends on 1 weekend off Saturday at 9 a.m. until Sunday at 8 p.m. Actually right now I have them all the time because he refused to give Bubba his medication and there is domestic violence going on so the judge granted me temporary restraining order. It is hard because I know the kids want to see him but they don't want to be made to see him when the court says so. Gymnast and Skater are both old enough that the law guardian has to speak to them so I am not worried and with the medical complications of Bubba I am not worried about him neither. We are talking about a man that pays $60 a week for child support for all 3 of his kids! $60 a week doesn't even pay for gas let alone anything else. Skater eats as much as My Man does and he is only 11! FatHead doesn't contribute to Gymnast's training/dance. FatHead never pays for school clothes, supplies, or extras! He frustrates me so much because he will stand there and say well they don't need this or they don't need that - guess what - they don't but that doesn't mean I am not going to try to get it for them. My check this Friday is going all to Gymnast's and Sugarplum's monthly fee as well as year end event tickets. Good by $400. but Gymnast wouldn't get it if she were with Dad and she knows it.

Work is pretty boring today. Just trying to catch up from being off yesterday. I missed my first smoking cessation class. Oops! I really want to quit but know know if I have the will power! Especially since My Man and T both smoke and have no desire to quit.
