Ok time to brag on FDH for a minute. His mother is a fairly constaint thorn in my side and I am fairly vocal about my displeasure with her.  So it just so happens that one day earlier this week school called FDH and said that SD was running a slight fever only a degree or so but per school rules they had to send her home. Perfectly understandable. He calls me and asks if I can keep her home with me because I just happened to be off work. Ok sure no problem. When she gets home she is her normal happy hyper self and doesnt seem to be sick which is what the school nurse said too. (Only reason she was in the nurses office is because she got a bug bite playing in the yard and it was itching and SD mentioned her throat was a little sore so they checked her out.) Anyways she hangs out with me for the day but continues to have a low fever through the night and into the next morning so I decide to keep her out and do my work from home.

Now its Wednesday and even though SD acts like she feels fine she has been out of school for 2 days now. MIL calls that afternoon wanting us to bring the kids to her so she can "take them to church" which literally translates into drop them off in the parking lot and come back later to get them. She has been doing this for awhile now and its how she gets the church to help her will things. We allow the children to go because they seem to enjoy it and have friends there. FDH tells her that they will not be going because SD has been running a fever for a couple of days and just in case she has something we aren't passing it around. MIL doesnt like this answer but nothong she can do about it. So she asks FDH to go ahead and bring just the car seats to her because she is planning on picking the kids up Friday (like we wouldnt need the seats for the next 48 hours) FDH tells her no because This Is Me will be getting them from school Friday they have plans with her. I am not exactly sure what MIL said next but whatever it was set FDH off! He told her that he didnt care what she thought and that if she didn't like it we would finish filling out the guardianship papers we had picked up and it would take her completely off anything involving the kids (yes we now have the legal paper work) and if that wasn't good enough for her we would pack the kids up and ship them to her so she really could raise them like she loves to tell everyone she comes across that she does. But that they both know she can't financiallly afford that so its not really an option anyways. 

She was very quickly ready to get off the phone with him after that and I can imagine quite upset. I'm really proud of him for telling her its not happening how she wants it however. Seems like a step in the right direction. Now to just finish filling out these papers and get them filed at the court house. 

I'm guessing it must have scared her because she just knocked on my door wanting ME to fill out her renewal of guardianship papers because she said she didn't know what all to put about the kids. I refused of course! I saw what she had put on a couple of the pages however and its all lies about how the kids live with her. I think a phone call to an attorney is in order first thing next week.
