Poor Gia. She wrote in my diary obviously thinking she was updating in her diary. For some reason there were about 10 of the same entry and I don't know how that happened. It may not have refreshed for her.

Her dad and the porn thing again. Apparently Gia gets attendance from the classes every morning and was telling her old teacher from second grade things like "You shouldn't be friends with my dad, he's disgusting." and "I don't want to be around him." (Gia thought her old teacher and her dad were friends. Not the case) He was worried and talked to her current teacher who gave him the situation run-down. He called me last week and asked if it was ok that he talk to her. I told him Gia came across her dad's "collection". Their dad wasn't purposely exposing them to it, however they've known for a while he's liked to "look at naked women." It makes them ashamed of themselves.

And yes, I checked into what legal rights they have and what we can do about the situation.

Nothing. Unless he's actually done something to them. Still makes me want to chew glass.

The girls and I have discussions all the time. Cath said "He would never do anything because he KNOWS we'll go straight to you and he'll never see us again!" That's all from her.

Anyway. He's a weasel. The second grade teacher wanted to talk to Gia just to get reassurance for himself. Gia's embarrassed now every time she see's him and Cath said: "Gia, DAD's the one who should be embarrassed, not you!"

Mother's day was good. Just my mom, dad, brother and I went to brunch and it was odd not to have the rest of everyone there. It was SIL idea. I think she wanted to avoid the stress of the whole restaurant thing or the stress of dealing with cooking.

Later our family went to *Chuck*E*Cheese. The girls asked us how that could be fun for me, but to me that's the best mother's day. We can go somewhere where they're having fun and I'm having a good time too. I'm not a game player at all. I held the Baby BenKenobi while the girls totally took over the watching of the BoozerBee. We didnt' ask them to and that wasn't the expectation. They just grabbed her hand and said "C'MON BOO!"

Later Cath asked where we went to brunch. I told her and said it wasn't a lot of fun because they weren't there. I kept thinking stuff like "The girls would love this or that.."

Cath said she knew it was her Aunt's idea for just my brother, mom, dad and I to go, however she thought it was sort of selfish. She said it was excluding the rest of the family just because her aunt didn't want to get stressed out. CATH came up with that. I hadn't said anything of the sort, nor had Lee.

I was thinking it, but wouldn't say that in front of the girls.

I could tell my brother missed his kids too. Because we kept talking about our kids. It was just odd. SIL said she would love to do something with just her brother's and her parents together without her SIL's. Sure, we want things to be the way they were, but it's not that way now. We have families and kids and to exclude them from a celebration that we always celebrate together is just weird.

While I was pregnant I was very negative regarding them and some of the stuff they do with my autistic nephew. But I knew that's because I was pregnant and had no patience and was grumpy and hormonal.

Now a Holiday or celebration just isn't the same without Zachman swinging from a chandelier or climbing onto the mantel and jumping from it to the couch.

Gee my stats have jumped up dramatically. Wonder why.
