This evening we had a fairly good thunderstorm and it nearly scared the wits out of little Skyler. He was already tired because his sweet Auntie Carrie took him swimming this morning. What a blessing she is to me because she has been helping me out tremendously with Sky during this time when I can barely walk sometimes. He had such a good time in the wave pool, it was his first time ever and he nearly wore her out...but she was such a good Auntie and so loving and let him have so much fun. Thank you Carrie!!!
Later when we got home I got to talk to my other three sweet kids on the phone. There dad has been so great to call me and give me updates on the kids. I would have been quite happy to hang up the phone with them and be content with there happy voices in my ear....but that was not to be had this evening. LOL
Soon after my great phone call with the kids I received another phone call from there dads phone; however, there was nobody on the other end. After saying HELLO HELLO several times and nobody answering I just listened. I was SO LUCKY to overhear my ex husband and my sweet older kids talking about beer, marijuana, and smoking. It was hard to make out exactly what was going on...but my favorite phrase from there daddy was "actually alcohol is worse for you then marijuana because marijuana only makes you silly for awhile."
They were asking there dad many questions about alcohol and drugs upon which he is very educated in. I was trying to keep calm. I couldn't figure out why someone had called me and allowed me to listen in on this conversation. At one point in the conversation that I overheard they were talking about how you should eat food to absorb the alcohol in your stomach, and how the kids would be OK because they have been eating as much as daddy had the whole trip. I was very concerned but I was, LIKE I SAID, trying to keep calm. I hung up the phone and called him back right away and asked him what was going on and told him what had happened. He assured me that the kids had only had a couple sips of beer and they were not drunk.
Lord help me!!!!! I'm telling you, my mind is on my kids tonight........

WOW I cant even imagine how hard that must have been for you to sit there and listen too. I was upset for you just reading it! I will be praying that you can get some kind of rest tonight
Oh my gosh. When are these kids coming home?
Um can I just say ART IS AN IDIOT! Sorry but cmon, if the police found out what happened would he get in trouble? Does he think his life has been so great that he should pass on his crap to his kids? Get a freakin clue jack, you barely get to see your kids and when you do this is what you teach them? Sorry becky but he's an idiot! All that being said, this is the time your kids decide for themselves what they want out of life. Oh becky so sorry for the hard time ur having.
Love u!

Oh my goodness...Girl, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. Please know God is holding your sweet children in his arms while they are away from you.
sounds like a real winner. in fact, both him and birthfather do. nice.
if my Mom knew we were getting alcohol from our bio father when we were their ages, we never would've gone back.
of course, we were later kidnapped so we didn't see him anymore, anyway. but still. i'm furious with their father and i don't even know any of you!
OH wow, R, I would be soooo upset! Also for the anony. comments, I would prob. set my comments to no anony. That way you don't have to deal with them. Huge hugs!
Oh Bless your heart. I can't even imagine, oh wait... I adopted out of the foster care system, YES I CAN. I am so sorry. I know your heart is heavy when they are not with you. I will be thinking of you and especially later this week. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Oh my goodness... what is he THINKING?!? Mak'n Changes said everything I am thinking!
