Halloween….

Ok I am finally posting pictures from Halloween…hey it’s not Thanksgiving yet, so….  I’ve been a blog slacker, both writing and commenting on others.  Part of me wonders how much longer I’m going to continue.  I don’t want to make the blog private because no one really wants to type in more passwords. I don’t want to stop writing completely because I know there are new families that have reached out to me on Facebook after finding my blog.  But it pains me to know the only way Preston’s father knows he is still breathing is by checking my blog.  I even once was the lucky recipient of a snotty blog comment “anonymously” of course, from his girlfriend.  More time and effort should be spent delving into child support arrears (by the way $19,000) and less time on what is going on in my life and making fun of how I look like we are eight years old.  So that is my blog quandary.

Halloween was both fun and miserable.  Fun because Preston couldn’t get enough of the trick or treating, miserable because the skies opened up as soon as we walked outside.  My friend Kim and her mom and boyfriend came with us.  Kim’s boyfriend’s daughter and Preston had a blast going from house to house and got a bucket full of candy.  He dressed up as a convict this year (like someone we know).  Despite the rain, he had a great time.

OMG! You are f'n killing me with his costume. CANT STOP LAUGHING! Does he know he was dressed as his father?! :o)
I'm behind in blog land too(especially commenting) ... its hard to make time for it ~ However I know my family lives for the updates, so that's what keeps me going ...as well as for the new families. I remember it was your and Cat's blog that reassured me Caden would be like any other kid when we received his diagnosis!
Again ... Pres gets best costume. Love it!
XOXO!

Preston looks so cute in his costume! I know that it is very hard to keep up with the commenting and posting! But don't let IDIOTS deter you from doing this beautiful blog in honor of your son. I know all of these wonderful blogs helped me when I found out about Lyla and it's only been a year since i've been a part of this new blogging world. I absolutely love it! You are doing something positive for people like me who love to see our children act just like anyone else. And anyone who doesn't take care of their children is a LOSER and an A$$hole! And like I've said before........who needs a dad with a MOM like you! Xoxo

Kim if I've learned anything from my years of BLOGging it's that never let anyone stifle your creativity. Keep writing and updating because you enjoy it. If Boat Boy wants to spy on you via BLOG it's because he's jealous of your life. He's missing out on an amazing, fun, smart, awesome little boy so it's his loss. I completely understand where you're coming from on the issue but don't let two petty people ruin this wonderful communtity of friends that you have. I enjoy your BLOGging friends and they love reading about you and Pres so keep up the great work!

Oh and Preston looks so cute in his jailbird outfit! When he tried it on in the store the smile of joy that was on his face was priceless. I heart him and can't wait to see you guys again soon!

Ok...I have been a blog stalker...whew, there you go it is out!! But I need to comment on this one, you are not only helping the LP community, but you are also educating others too. My 12 yr old son & I found your blog, when 2 LP's began going to school with my son. He had questions & so we found answers....many of them answered from your blog. He is now great friends with them :) DO NOT let CREEPS (being nice there!!)keep you from educating & helping others!!

I love so much that he dressed up as his dad. its too bad it wasnt an orange jumpsuit.. or he could have just worn blue pants with the dark red tshirt lol. and dont stop blogging just because some white trash pathetic piece of you know what likes to call us fat.

Oh, you know...Just remember that you got the very best that man could ever do and that is Pres. The light of everyone's life.
I get so frustrated with deadbeat dads and the women who stand beside them. It's so sad and WRONG and pathetic and ... well the list of nice words is short and I try to keep my posts rated G.
Kim, can't you block people? I am not a blogger so that was just something I wondered, I'm sure you would've already if you could've.
You're gorgeous, that son of your's is gorgeous and the love between the two of you is PRICELESS.
Anyone who can't comment nice here can't say anything nice anywhere. What a tragedy their lives must be.
Chin up, Kim! You got this...and apparently there's a new guy in town and maybe-if HE IS LUCKY-he'll get to sweep you and Pres off your feet. And knock someone else on his arse.

Hugs and Prayers
Amber

I'm glad I snuck over from ThinkPink to check up on your blog. I adore Preston's costume!! How cute was he!!??
Kim, please don't stop blogging because of someone like your ex. That he would try to criticize you for ANYthing is laughable and juvenile, and he just makes himself look ignorant doing it. Of course, that type of person is going to choose a girlfriend who bashes people anonymously, so there's not exactly a full brain between the two of them, is there? Amber is right; you already got the best he had to offer: Preston. It's clear that Preston is well-loved and well-cared for without his input, and that should make you feel so strong and competent that considering not blogging—however often or seldom you choose to do it—shouldn't be based on any opinion HE has of it or of you, and CERTAINLY not on some piece of drivel posted anonymously. I realize it's aggravating and frustrating that Deadbeat can't meet his financial responsibility, because you think Preston could have so much more if he did, but really, Preston already has what's important. That has nothing to do with money and everything to do with care, attention and love. (and good Halloween costumes, so you score high on that one too.) All you have to remember to do is take the high road, so Preston learns what that is. I think you'll be able to do that easily coming from a position of power your ex doesn't have. I vote for not giving up the blog.

Don't stop writing and posting pictures of Pres because Matt & the person (being kind there) he lives with are ignorant and stupid. People who matter look forward to your posts--do not let an insignificant deadbeat ruin it for you and your friends--Pres is my heart & soul--I love & adore him --he rocks--he is a special little boy with a great personality and a tremendous heart!

The convict comment killed me. Hilarious!

I, too, am behind on the whole blogging thing - the only reason I half-ass my way through keeping up is because I know our families back in Cali like keeping up with the day-to-day type stuff that I general post about. Otherwise... meh.

Love you guys!

P.S. We got our first snow today, so you guys are gonna come visit soon, right? ;P
