The custody battle was hard on Julia, even though in the end she didn't have to decide me and Dad. I've taken some time off work to be with her. I know that she knows that being with me is better for her, but she can't help loving her parents. I don't blame her, at least they were there for her sometimes.

I only hope I'm doing the right thing by her. In trying to do that, though, I'm abandoning the internet. I don't know when I'll be online next, but it will probably be only to check my e-mail and see what's going on with court dates.

Thank you all for being there when I needed a shoulder.

My boss dropped his charges when he realized I had the receipts. My dad is still trying though.

The courts heard our story and after about two weeks the judge decided that I was right to take Julia from my dad's place. Now we've moved to family court where another judge is deciding whether or not I get custody of Julia for the next four years until she's 18 and can decide for herself.

Julia's really upset with all this, and I'm not suprised. This is really hard on her. I know that she still loves our dad, even after all he's done to the two of us. I also know that she knows that I won't go back to South Dakota, even if she does. I hate that she has to go through this, but I know that neither of us can live until this is all over. I just wish I knew a way to make this easier on her, to make her happy while we deal with all this.

My dad is charging me with "Kidnapping" my sister. The term used in the letter was "abduction of a minor."

I didn't think anything would come from our dad. He never cared before, and it's not like he really ever provided for either of us. I shouldn't have been so stupid.

I think I can avoid the charges. I called my boss and he seems to think that there is enough against my dad to charge him with neglect and for me to be granted custody of my sister.

I thought we'd left the nightmare behind. I guess not.

I got another letter today. My old boss decided to charge me with stealing. I bought a lot of stuff for the pinto when I worked for him up in SD. I know I bought it all legitamately from him, I even have all the receipts still. I don't know where the charges came from, all I know is that they are rediculous and I will have to find some way to force him to drop them.

I don't know when I'll be online next. So, in the meantime, thank-you and good-bye.


As for my screen name, my kid sister (she's 8 years younger than me, half sister) "borrowed" my msn account and put in this screen name a few years back, it became a kind of joke and just stuck. I use it for all my sn's now, I don't mind that people think I'm a young girl, I just politely correct them and move on.

Well, my dad's home from the hospital, on the mend. Julia has been coming to Lucky's to study until I get off work, I don't trust leaving her at home alone with Dad when he is drunk all the time. The Pinto is almost ready to drive, just waiting for a few more parts.

I hate my life right now.

My sister is still sick with the flu, but she got me a new wrench for my birthday, she gave it to me yesterday, after we watched Brother Bear, it was nice.

My dad and Adel (my step-mom) gave me a car. It's a '71 Ford Pinto. It probably cost them $200 or so. The thing is a piece of junk and needs a lot of work before I drive it anywhere, but it will help me with my apprenticeship, so I don't mind.

In the evening, around 9, the guys came and picked me up and we went out to the Silver Saloon, a local pub. We ate a couple burgers, some fries, and had a few rounds of beer. I don't remember what happened later, last time I can remember is about 10:50 or so, I think. I am curious as to why there are three empty beer bottles sitting beside the computer, but I guess the night wasn't very eventful because I woke up on my bad in the clothes I was wearing when I left.

I did have a massive hangover, it's almost gone now though.

Happy Birthday to me...
