PATERNITY TESTS, RATS, HUMMINGBIRDS, MIMOSAS, HOSTAS AND LIMESTONE
A court date has finally been set for a "hearing on the COMPLAINT TO ESTABLISH PATERNITY, CHILD SUPPORT AND REIMBURSEMENT SUPPORT". C-A will be almost 10 months old. It is August 23rd. I don't really know what to expect. I know who the father is, although, I guess he doesn't think he is. I am not a slut and just because I got accidently preggers does not make me one. I know he is the father so, I guess he will be the one suprised. I have been to family court before but never to establish paternity, Sam was a stand-up guy, knowing he was Joey's dad during our divorce, even though he doesn't pay child support now and owes me almost $24,000 in back support. (yes, that is twenty-four THOUSAND). Not that money is an issue for me, although a little bit extra would help those "shopping for Charleigh-Anne" splurges . . . LOL I don't know if they will order a test that day or if they will set a date later or if he doesn't show up something else happens or what. I put a call into WVCSEB last week, looking for a status update and am still expecting a call back, so I will ask them at that time.So, while mowing Mom's yard Friday, thank God that I always look around. I had to move the truck, which was backed up to the cistern in the yard and I started mowing along the sidewalk and I am looking for "stuff", which normally consists of looking for large legs parts from the deer (plural) from LAST year. The dogs like to lay over the area of the cistern, as it is cooler there, even in the sun. Needless to say, it is a fairly bare area but they like to keep their animals and their "parts" close by. As I said, thank goodness I was looking because, blech, there was a RAT. I haven't seen a RAT in YEARS . . . . since I worked in S. Parkersburg. S. Parkersburg is close to the river, hence the name "river rats". Then, last night, under the deck, next to the concrete breezeway, the dogs are digging like mad. (DID I MENTION THEY ARE FOX TERRORS??) Their front paws are more "claw" like and are used for the purpose of digging.
I am thinking after the first dead rat (which by the way, had NOT been eaten on, they killed it just because, well, they were protecting us) that possibly there are rats feeding on the decomposable trash that Mom throws out (AKA lettuce, egg shells, spoiled food from the frig) to prevent overuse of the trash disposal and I guess it has something to do with the septic tank. I don't know, Mom has her quirks and I don't get involved with her "issues". LOL I don't have a disposal and pretty much do the same thing.
I have always worried about raccoons but never rats. Besides, with all the black snakes around you would think there would be no rats. There was also the time that the black snake went under the breezeway, where the dirt had washed away from under the concrete on the side opposite from where the dogs were digging. RIGHT BY THE FRONT DOOR. So, I didn't really worry about rats . . . but it may be that Mum will have to stop disposing of "waste" by throwing it off the deck. LOL Either that or she will have to keep the dogs when I move home . . . . LMAO HEHE
Over at my house, the Mimosa tree attracts 10-30 of hummingbirds at a time. The hummingbirds also like my plums which for years I thought had worms from the little holes in the small fruits. I also hang feeders on my porch just because I like to duck when the small birds coming flying at my head. LOL For some reason over at Mom's, who has three Mimosa trees in bloom has no hummingbirds in her trees. So, she has two feeders that need refilled almost daily! LOL
Mimosa trees have the most lucious fragrance and provide lots of shade. If anyone would like on of these hardy trees, please let me know. I have thousands of seeds every year and right now, I have 8 seedlings that I dug from my flower bed over at my house. Just make sure that when you plant it, it is where you want it to be. I have one, that I CHOP out every year, next to my porch that also regrows every year.
I am planting three of them (again, Mom did mow over them one too many times) to provide shade for my Grandma's hosta plant that survived bulldozing and came back up in the spot that used to be the corner of the end of their porch . . . . it does not thrive well, as it is smack in the middle of the yard with full sun. (for those of you with brown thumbs, hostas are a shade plant) I did dig some of it up a few years ago and transplanted it to the corner end of MY porch, where it gets enough shade to survive. There is also a new hosta plant taken from Grandma's plant growing outside Mom's door, which I transplanted last year.
Now, if I could find out what those people in my house did with all my limestone rocks that I had lined around my flower beds, the hosta plant in the yard, some marking plants in my beds, most of which belonged to my Grandma (they say they don't know) and even if they didn't do most of the "repairs" that were outlined in the verbal agreement, I want my fucking limestone rocks back. I don't know if someone who helped them move took them or if they threw them over the hill or what, but I want them back. It was funny that her mother "borrowed" my shampooer by "accident" and I am pissed that my limestone was gone. If I can't get them back, I don't know what I will do. I may use Pooh's gun over there.
BTW, tomorrow is M-Day. They should be outta there and have the house cleaned by the end of the week.

Dead deer lying around don't bother you but rat does?
Good luck with child support bs.
Support issues are a double edged sword aren't they. On one hand the support would be nice but...on the other hand, do you actually want to share her?
Keep us posted.
Question #1: Yup
Question #2: Nope
Q#2 cont'd: Um I am hoping he doesn't but if his parents do, that's okay. His GF tho, talks about how she LOVES kids to one of our "mutual aquantainces" but as our "MA" told her, "It's different if they aren't yours". So, we'll see and well, I will fight against visitation. He hasn't had any inclinations to see her, even when offered.
