Wonderful Beginnings of October....

It's hard to believe it's already October. We've been living with Mom and Dad for a month now, and am feeling pretty useless around the house. Lately I've been fighting a toothache, and just got it fixed. I guess my teeth are so bad that I'm now on a prescription toothpaste.
We finally met our attorney today. His name is Kevin Peterson (Pronounced Keevun) and is located in Blackfoot. I was really impressed with him, so much that I left my wallet there by accident of course. He looked at the paperwork, and said "That's the worse attempt at forgery I've ever seen". I laughed and still laugh when I think of that comment. He is going to contact the Idaho Attorney Generals office to see if they can handle this pro-bono, but he also said that we did everything right.
I can honestly say that it was a relief to speak with him, he's going to see what he can do to get us some damages. I'm babysitting again, at least for now. I'm watching Layla and Colby
three days a week, they're pretty easy to care for, and sometimes a pain. I'm also watching Kaitlynn full time, just recently she got bit by a dog. She was antagonizing it, and it had enough, 24 stitches later she knows it's not good to be mean to the dogs.

My heart goes out to her, and I know her mom feels real bad about it. I've learned that her father needs to back off and stop using me as an excuse. His latest thing is that Kaitlynn is underweight because I am always feeding her junk food. (explain how that adds up please.) He knows this because I always eat junk food. (BULL) Anyway, I've been instructed to keep a journal of everything she eats and when she eats. We'll see how long that lasts. I told his wife that I'm tempted to buy him a Binky and box of depends because he's being a big baby about everything. If it keeps up, I'm going to have to tell him to find somebody else to watch her, I don't need it in my life.
We found a place for Dante and Tika (YAY!). One of Dave's co-workers lives about a block away from us, they have a Great Dane (Inga), Shih-Tsu (Moo), Border Collie (Lady) and a Chihuahua. They've been there for almost a week and Dante is fitting in quite well. Tika is terrified of Inga, and tries to tell her whose boss. Inga gets tired of it and pins Tika to the ground, it's kind of funny to see a Great Dane laying on top of a Lab. The 3 boys that live there really enjoy the dogs as well, the oldest is in Mom's class and always talks to her about them. Dave's been told that Dante and Tika behave better than the boys, I find that funny.
Anyway, enough of my soapbox, I should go, I've got Layla and Colby still, and Dave is hungry. As for the Kaitlynn thing, Janelle, if you're reading this, I don't mean to slam on Lee, he just irritates me with the GARBAGE he says about me, if he doesn't trust me with Kaitlynn then he needs to find another sitter or shut his mouth. To everyone, I love you and will keep y'all posted on things.

It's nice to hear from you again. Sounds like things are going better. I'm so glad you found a home for Dante and Tika - I bet that's a relief.
