I am trying to keep calm..................

DJ is acting up.  He is bite, hitting, kicking, screaming/yelling, etc....  He is doing this at day care, and he has been doing this for awhile.  I have asked my Ex if he is acting like that with him.  He says no that he is good, gets along with Emma (the girlfriends baby girl, 4 yrs old) and happy.  Well, on Tuesday the day care called that twice he had been in trouble and if it happen again, my EX or I would be called to pick him up.  I was tried of this.  I had a note on Monday from his teacher and now Tuesday a call. 
So I made plans to take DJ to a therapist.  We had a talk about they way he was acting, a serious one.  He knew that I was upset about thae way he was acting.  I mean a serious talk..... 
Well on Wednesday, I picked him up from day care, and His heart was still on the tree.  They have this tree with all the kids names on it, and if the kids are not behaving.  They drop their heart down.  Well, DJ's heart was still on the tree.  I was so happy, he had a good day.   So, I wanted him to know how proud I was of him.  I token him to the book store and bought him a $3 book.  He loves books and for anyone to read to him.  So I reward him......

Yesterday was visitation day with dad.  He picks him up then drops him at 8 pm at the apartment.  He called me to let me know that he was going to be a little late.  He was going to the donut store and would be heading to the apartment.  I said Ok..... 
When he arrived I asked him if DJ's heart came down from the tree.  He said yes.   I was disappointed.  I told him that he should have not bought him donuts, why are you rewarding him.  He said that he does not see him all week, give him a break he wants to please him.  I just look at him. I told him that yesterday his heart stayed on the tree and I bought him a book.  He buys him donuts even if his heart cames down.  He looks away from me then just leaves......
What an idiot......

Well, the way I see it is........

I believe that therapy is going to help DJ and me.  I think that the therapist is going to want to have a meeting with my Ex too, and I believe that he will set him straight.....
So It will eventually come out.....
Oh on Tuesday, DJ did tell Thelma and I that he bite Emma.  So my Ex is not telling me everything and that he is acting this way with him.

This weekend I will have all the kids.  I am so happy I cannot remember when was the last time we were all together.......
This is the nicest Mother's Day gift I could have......
but it will show me how DJ is going to be.  Meaning.....
During the week, it is only DJ and I.  This weekend, it will be all of us.....  I know he wants to be the center of attention.  So this will show me if he will be ok, not acting up.  I do believe that he is reacting to the girlfriends girls.  That dad is give them some attention, he is jealous.  But that is normal, what I think is happening is that my Ex is not take care of this the right way. 
And now, the plans to all live together....
OH YEAH.....  things are going to get more difficult.  I am glad that I am going to have DJ in therapy, plus it will help me, in everyway.  Advice for me and the Ex........

Boy, I am just going on and on..... Sorry.........
I had to get that off my chest.

And yesterday, my car battery went dead.......
Yep I was at the HEB parking lot and it would not start.  I sat there and wonder who do I call.  I am not calling my Ex; I thought first.  Why does that still comes to my mind, I guess after so many years that was what would come to my mind first.....
But I did call Thelma, my best friend....  She told me she was on her way.  But I did thought of Weldon because he knew the wrecker for Portland.  He asked where was I and he told me that he just put dinner in the oven and he would need to call Megan then he would be over.  I asked if I get a boost would that help.  He said yes for me to call this guy.  Well, when he was telling me that.  This man asked if I was having trouble.  I told him yes and asked if he had jumper cables.  He said that he had a battery jumper cables.  I told Weldon Thank You; I have someone who is going to help me.
So we got the car started and I head for the parts store to buy a battery.  $95 dollars, man.....  but it comes with a 36 month warranty......

BUT......  guess who called me later that night.......
Yep....  Weldon.....  I guess lesson learn.
I did Thank him for calling me back, that was sweet of him and we talked.....
I left it by telling him to visit me at work.  He has mention that he seen my car at work.  So that is why I told him to stop by.....
But I left it in his court as to what he wants to do with us....
Will see....

Till next time......
