my babies are coming home!!

if you missed it, its a long ugly story of cps being called, custody battles, blah blah but the NY judge threw out their petition, they filed in texas, i have 20 business days to answer... TX cps waited and waited to hear something from NY cps about assessing the kids, all i know now is that CPS said they are waiting until the kids return home to talk to them and see what they think, so apparently nothing too drastic going on there. daughter called me today and i asked her if she would consider coming home and seeing how this semester goes and if she truely is not happy here and still wants to live with her dad, when she flies to visit him for xmas she can just stay up there. she agreed! stepmom assured me last night that they would never violate a court order and that even though they had filed for custody they would be putting the kids on the plane and if court ends up some other direction we would reevaluate then. they have now decided to call the courthouse and tell them never mind and just see how things go. if they had just called me and had a conversation in the first place... but anyway, bottom line is that i get to see my beautiful babies in 6 days! thank you all for the pages and pages of support in my ongoing thread about this. i couldn't talk about it on fb and i've really had a hellish time of it this summer, many tears, lots of stress in my marriage due to all of this, drama, anxiety, you name it. hopefully we can get back on track and move forward from here!


here we are at the airport when they left for the summer
