Back Again :)

Things have been going pretty well, I guess. My oldest's father has decided that he wants to take a more involved role in Alex's life, which is weird and honestly over 4 years too late. But, it's Alex's right to know his parent, not Mike's right to know Alex, and legally I can't stop it since we never went to court over a custody arrangement. SO....he gets it. When I told Kyle, he came undone. Literally started crying, begging me to fight it - gave me the number of a family law lawyer to help fight it. I couldn't understand why he was so upset by it, and we both got frustrated and angry. When it came down to it, he finally came clear with it and it all made sense. He said he loves me, loves the kids, and that he is scared Mike's going to take Alex away from him. I think he's kinda calmed down about it now...Mike is in Florida, and just some guy Alex is talking to regularly. Kyle....Kyle's a lot more then that. He's here, he's everyone's friend, he's becoming more of a partner every day to me, and Alex looks up to him SO much. He's an influance on everyone and every aspect of our lives and I Love him. I've known it for awhile, but I wasn't about to be the first person to say it..I was so glad he did, it's been hard to keep myself FROM saying it so many times.

Fourth of July was meh. Rained all day. We shot off fireworks anyways, but, we were literally flooded. My best friend stayed the night here with Kyle and I because her car couldn't handle it. Either could Kyle's, thus the extra night. Was a very pleasent holiday though, I really enjoyed myself. We got a little too drunk after the kids went to sleep - yay for tequila shots? But all in all I would call it a success.

Gah...I have a lot of faves to catch up on, and I have a lot to do this evening - aunt gets in from Georgia tomorrow. Oh yay. More time with my family....I like the aunt coming in, but consideringn it means more time with those I don't like, I'm tempted to just say fuck this shit. Or take Kyle to all family functions he can make it to in the mean time and thank God the crazies wouldn't say anything to me with him there...they like him. Unfortunately, they hate me and it's all for bullshit reasons...I'll have to get into that another time though. Whatever. Bleh. I'm tempted to just cut ties beyond my Mother.
