Summers Over?!

Well summer is coming to a close. We have had a busy summer & I kinda hate to see it all end. It has been nice having all these camps that last a week or two. Really get Hayden to open his interests with lots of different things.

We have had football, swimming, tennis, gymnastics, art, and sailing. I have had a ball. Due to our full schedule we didn't get as far along in school as I had wanted, but I do think Hayden had a full summer & learned lots of new things. He was able to deal with different people and work on his social skills. We had a few bumps in the road, but over-all I'm looking at this summers work with a positive light.

You may have noticed that the spelling of Hayden's name has changed. We are moving along with the adoption process. Hayden wanted to change his name to a more common spelling, so he wouldn't have to keep correcting people. I was kinda use to the old spelling, but I do think it will be easier in the long run & we honored his decision.

On a more dismal front, really insisted Nina get a job, & she did. We were thrilled, then I noticed there were inconsistency's in what she was saying, such as her managers wouldn't let her leave when she was suppose to get off, they were asking her to come in before there was 8 hours between shifts, checks not adding up to hours worked. I even stopped by once & observed Nina with a male customer -- very inappropriate, actually the boy chased Nina through the restaurant. Wanted Nina to quit that very second, but she said she needed to stay with her co-worker & she did quit soon after. She got a job across the street. Well one night she just didn't come home. Said she got off at 9pm & at 1am I went looking for her. Needless to say I had already called at her work place & they told me she didn't work that day. I spotted her out & followed her home. Of course she told me she had been at work. Well she had been lying about hours and hanging out with these undesirables. The ship hit the fan. Now a few weeks later she is growing larger & larger, we are afraid she is pregnant. We will get a test this afternoon & see what it says. I'm holding my breath & crossing my fingers that she isn't. If not I think it is time for her to move on. I believe the military is the best place for her & we will help get her into the Coast Guard. There she will have a job, a career, a home, & an income. When she gets out of line the military will put her back in. I really hate to see her go, but I don't like where her life is going & I don't want to babysit a grown person, whom I don't trust & really don't like. Things will never change because Nina is unwilling or unable to change herself. She lies to everyone & I mean everyone, us, the people she works with, her friends. God only knows what she says, I have heard some stuff. I just don't want this kind of bull in my life & it is time for her to go away. What saddens me the most is that things could have been wonderful, but she won't let them be. She isn't welcome here anymore, & it is time for her to go. More on this later.
