Court...

I suck..and no not in the good way either. haha :-D

I went to court on 2/27..and have I updated about it? Nope..not a email mention..or a blog post.

So we wake up to SNOW!! Of all freakin days to snow..yes the day I am supposed to meet asshole..I mean Jamie.. in court. Luckily the roads were still safe..and the daycare was still open. Mom and I took Dalton to school, then drove downtown. We got there right around 9am, which is what my papers said to be there. I check in..and we have a seat. Honestly, I didn't think he would show up. At this point, I hadn't heard from him in over a year and he hadn't called or seen Dalton in over a year either.

About 9:30 am he showed up. I don't know if he didn't see me..or was just ignoring me, but he didn't speak. About 10 minutes later, I walked up to him..and made small talk. He asked about Dalton..and I asked about his other son.. He said that L's mother was keeping him from him..and I reminded him that I had NEVER kept Dalton from him..regardless of how I felt..I never told him no if he wanted to see him. He said that he knew that and he had been keeping himself away. WTF?? Seriously?? What kind of fucked up person does that?? Anyway..he said he was trying to get his priorities straight. @@ Oh I told him that Dalton has been asking about his daddy..and he said "why..he doesn't even know who I am?" and I said.."I know..but he does". I told him that I had tried to get in touch with him through his sister, but never heard back from her. He said they don't speak still. So they call everyone into court..and we check in w/ the judge..then its back out to the waiting room. Fun fun. About 20 min. later, the bailiff comes out and calls our names. The judge assigned Jamie a lawyer and reset our court date for April 2nd at 9am. He told Jamie.." If I were you, I would pay as much as I can in Child Support between now and then." So that way my day in court.

We were walking out..me, mom, and him. I flat out asked him.. do you want to see Dalton? Because if you don't, I will not ask you again..and I refuse to force you to be a part of his son's life. He said that he does..and he will. He gave me his cell number and told me I can call him anytime. Mom..being the butting in kinda mother she is..asked him if he wanted to see Dalton today. We were planning on getting him from daycare since I was off work. He said yeah he would like that if I didn't mind. So I told him..meet us at my house in 30-45 min. So I can get Dalton settled..

So Mom and I go to get the boy..but I didn't tell him what was going to happen. Not long after we get home and changed..he knocks on the door. I tell Dalton, hey buddy..your daddy is here to see you. What does he do?? Runs to me..crying ..begging No Mommy No. It was so pitiful. So I pick him up..and hold him..and comfort him..telling him Daddy just wants to see how big he is..and talk to him..and even play. That he isn't going bye bye..he is staying with Mommy like always.

He whined/cried for about 10 minutes while Jamie tried to talk to him. Then slowly started to warm up to him. Then BAM! he was all about his daddy. They played football, basketball, bowling..you name it. They rough housed..and everything was "my daddy" this and "my daddy" that. It was sickening lol. All in all he stayed for over an hour. Dalton started to get tired..and asked if Daddy was going home. I said yes Daddy has his own house. He asked if he was going to Daddy's house. I told him not this day but maybe another day if Daddy says its okay. Then dalton said he wanted his daddy to live with Mommy. Ugh.. where did this come from?? I explained to him that mommy and daddy can't live together. Mommy and Dalton live with Mamaw at Mamaw's house and Daddy has another house. Not sure what he understood..but I had to explain it a few times. So they play a bit more..then its time for Jamie to leave.. I tell Dalton to give Daddy a hugs and kisses. He said no..MOMMY KISS DADDY> lmao I was like..ummm NO..I'm not kissing Daddy. I said then just give Daddy high 5s ..thats cool. So he gives him high fives and a hug.

Fast forward to the next day.. Mom picked Dalton up from school and Claudia said ALL he talked about all day was his daddy and what they did. Mom called me at work later and said that for the past hour all he has wanted to do was "I call my daddy..talk to my daddy". So I called him..and explained that I was sorry to bother him..but Dalton was really wanting to talk to him and could he please call the house. He seemed really happy that Dalton was thinking about him..He called they talked for awhile and Dalton was good.

Okay..I am done typing my novel..for now. LOL
