Happy Mother's Day!
It's been a rather sad week for me in remembering my mom. Everyday when I go to work, I'm reminded of her as I look at the flag pole dedicated to her honor. If you go to look at my pics, you will see a pic of the first American flag to fly on it. Unfortunately since my computer was stolen, I no longer have the pics of the whole ceremony of that day.
I sometimes wish that others could have been here to know what she was like. For some, they only need to come to the house and feel her presence here. Hell, her ghost scared the shit out of my ex-husband. hehehehehehehe! I guess she didn't like the evil he brought to this house and shortly after his departure, it was oh so peaceful here. You know what they say, "Don't piss off a ghost!" She probably could see all the lies that he was telling and she let him know she was not happy about what he was doing.
My mom would get really mad if we told a lie. If she found out we lied to her, man she would whip our asses hard. I learned really quick to just tell the truth or it would come back and smack your ass. Through out my life I have found that people who build their lives on lies will always get punished in some shape or form. It might not be the next day. It may not be in the next year but it will come back on you.
The problem that I have found is that many folks don't have the parents that I did who taught that lesson. They lie within their families as much as they lie to the outside world. I've had two marriages to men that lie. The one that didn't lie to me is the one that I stayed with the longest.
My mom was so upset when we separated. She liked him a lot. As I told her and my aunts, if you like him so much, you go live with him. lol Travis is a good man. He's just not the right man for me. We get along much better as just friends. He's been very supportive of me through my parent's death and Gary leaving. I really appreciate that and that is why I'm trying to move closer to where he will be living when he gets out of the military Sept 1st.
His mom lives in Ohio and is in need of full time care because she is being too forgetful. Apparently, she has gone and gotten the mail from the mail box and has almost gotten hit by a car because she was standing in the street. It would be nice if our children got to spend some more time with her before she passes. She is the last grandparent that they have now.
The move has to be put on hold for now. Both of our children have applied and been accepted into specialized schools for their abilities. Yeah! Since Thomas has been in all Advanced Placement and Gifted and Talented classes, he has already taken the exit level TAKS and will be graduating in December ahead of the rest of his class. Yes! What a wonderful mother's day present to have received news of on Friday. We are all really excited about this turn of events.
Toward the middle of the week, I did get to talk to a tax payer advocate for the IRS. I explained to her again that we never received the 1099s of the money in question and she read off the address as being on Paxton St. in Kansas! Hell, Gary hadn't lived there for at least 6 months prior to me even marrying him.
Well, to me that is one mystery solved. As I told Gary outside the divorce court, you CAN NOT report something that you know nothing about. DUH!! The only one that could have changed that or even asked for a new one to be sent to us would have been him. If he had ever received a statement of interest from them, then he would have known that he should have received one again that year! Everything that I did know about, I did do correctly. So, therefore I am innocent. AND since I can prove that all of the support for the 4 children that lived in my house, I can by right take both of his kids as deductions. Oh that's not going to sit well with Gary's other ex. Do I give a flying fuck? NO!
In fact, I wouldn't even be writing anything about Gary if he would take care of the debt that he owes me and the IRS. That's really the only reason I do it. I know that his g/f comes over to my blogs (On myspace) and reads them. She even created yet another damn screen name on 5/12/07 to reply to what I wrote in my last blog. I have her other screen names blocked. What's so funny is she always slips up and I figure out who it is. I guess she thinks I'm still a threat to her. *shrug* Whatever woman! If I had really wanted to keep Gary in my life, you or anyone else couldn't have stopped me from keeping him.
Anyway, I'm off to get some sleep.
