  keep busy.....those days are going to be long ones.
  i find the only way to make time pass is to keep my hands and mind occupied.....
   
  my thoughts are with you.

• Fallyn said on Dec 12, 2007....

  thankyou secret......right now it's enough to know that they will be coming home.
  
  

• wyndhover said on Dec 13, 2007....

  So glad for you.  :)  So very glad.

• destinydiva said on Dec 13, 2007....

  wow, it all sounds very much in your favour! :-)  aaww the waiting is a nightmare, I am impatient with non important things so I cant even imagine how impatient I would be with something like this.  I guess like secret said, keep yourself busy to keep your mind of things...just spend hours at soulcast! :-)
  my thoughts are with you (((((((hugs))))))
  :-) xx

  i believe you've won this thing fallyn! i'm almost as excited as you are to see your children home for christmas. :-)

• skald said on Dec 13, 2007....

  I know it is hard to wait but this all seems to promise good. Good luck and I am waiting to hear what happens. 

• queenparanoia said on Dec 13, 2007....

  fallyn: i think this would be the best christmas gift ever!!! i'm crossing my fingers here!!! =)

• Fallyn said on Dec 13, 2007....

  i haven't seen them for over three months.
  *grin*
  i'm excited.
  still worried....but excited.
  
  even if i have to wait i'm okay, so long as i get them back in the end.

  I think the best part is the fact that his true nature seems to have been revealed.  I can't imagine the agony of waiting, but I am confident of the outcome.  My hopes and prayers are with you, Fallyn.

• pickersplock said on Dec 13, 2007....

  Yeah for you!  I hope it gets resolved in time for Christmas Eve!!!!!
  If that online thing is not the deciding factor, then that judge really needs his head examined!

• Mamie said on Dec 13, 2007....

  I am holding my breath with you, begin prepping for one fantastic christmas with them home at last...good luck! and God bless! mamie

• beyondtheveil said on Dec 13, 2007....

  fallyn- I honestly don't know how you could possibly lose at this point, they simply have nothing against you. But the waiting is a pain, especially in something like this. I'm sorry you are going to have a very long week, it looks like. 

• uniquely-ironic said on Dec 13, 2007....

  I know how frustrating this is for you.  I'm sure you're stressed and this just prolongs it, but it will very likely produce a decision in your favor, so .... relax.
   
  Every decision handed down to me at the time of a hearing has always been less than ideal.  The few times the decision was delayed I did so much better.  I think the judges do that so that they don't have to see or deal with the emotional fall out of their decision.  Every time someone wins, someone loses and that can lead to emotional outbursts.
   
  I am keeping my fingers and as many other body parts crossed that you will have your children for christmas.  You're a good mom and I'm sure the judge sees that.

• Battycat said on Dec 13, 2007....

  fallyn I've got everything crossed for you :-) That would be such a fantastic christmas present for you.

• the_infernal_optimist said on Dec 13, 2007....

  Sounds like it's just a matter of when at this point. I'm still sending hope your way, although it sounds like you won't need it much. :) It's good to hear that things went well (and fwiw, my sink stays full until the kids are in bed - I simply don't have time to do dishes as they get dirty during the day, so they have to wait 'til the evening rolls around).

  Im going to say congrads already. I know the court system can be a beast sometimes. You just make sure you enjoy those babies every min of everyday. congrads again.

• wakingharmony said on Dec 13, 2007....

  Great Fallyn!! You know the Judge may be trying to put this all in the right way so you have your Children for Christmas and figure out his visitation.... I Dont Know where you are (cal?)  Most States have a visitation schedual that Moms have even year holidays and Dads odd.....This is so weird hon because when the boys Dad decided he wanted the boys (didnt want to pay Child Support)  it was right b4 Christmas and I had to travel 4 hrs to bridgeport to go to court.... Even thought things hadn't been decided...my lawyer asked that I could have them for Christmas because I hadn't seen them...... Man HE was pissed he said he wanted them and almost went to jail for contempt  (Actually it was only Dennis I already had Ed..) But HE brought him to the Court House and also  Judge said he would have to Go Pick him up on a certain date b4 school started. So keep posted head High!!!!

• Bronx said on Dec 13, 2007....

  I pray that you win but your lawyer is right about overworked and single-sitting judges giving some funny judgments sometimes.

• Eilan said on Dec 13, 2007....

  You and your girls are in my thoughts, Fallyn.  Here's hoping it won't be long now.

• Taffy000 said on Dec 13, 2007....

  I wish you luck.  Whenever I hear about parents fighting over kids I wonder how that feels?  My mom told me if I wanted I could go live with my dad-I wanted & I did although she maintained custody-----.  She wanted the power but she didn't necessarily care to live with me-I couldn't have lived with her either! 

• vacantmind said on Dec 13, 2007....

  I know the waiting is hard but I hope the judge is taking his time to go over the case and determine what is right for your girls. I think they will be back home with you soon but he may be trying to decide how much or if any contact with their father is beneficial at this point. Maybe he will order your ex into counseling as a condition to visitation. There is alot of factors here.
  Spend your time preparing for their homecoming.

• wombat said on Dec 13, 2007....

  Sorry for not being around to keep offering support, but I have not forgotten you.  I am glad to read this as I check in because it does sound good in your favor.  I will still be thinking good thoughts and hoping you hear something soon.  Hang in there!

  it is never over.  been there, done dat kind of deal.

  I trust that you will find new life after this ordeal...it may take some time..but you will. 

  Good luck.

• RollingC said on Dec 13, 2007....

  Like Secret said Fallyn....keep busy for the next couple of weeks and time will fly faster.   I personally think from what you said that it's in the bag...you win.  The judge always takes the side that will be most beneficial for the children.
  God Bless

• crybabylu said on Dec 13, 2007....

  I can't take the time to read all the comments before my comment, so I am just going to comment on the original post.  Fallyn, i would have contacted you before now, but we trust you are going to get a positive answer from the judge.  What I was going to try to tell you, is that we are one of many without power in the midwest. I am over to my brother's house right now using his computer, but we are staying with our kids, and they don't have one.  Our state has been declared a national disaster area because of the bad ice storm that hit the Midwest.  Kansas got hit real hard, we are without power and telephone, and won't get it back on till after the 20th  of Dec. if then.  So, I wanted to get on here tonight and tell you we are thinking of you, and still praying for the best.  Love, dee

• RollingC said on Dec 13, 2007....

  Damn Crybabylu....with the flu and all the hours of work I've been doing lately (need the overtime) I've haven't been watching the news at all.  I'll keep you and all the ones affected by the ice storm in my prayers.  Wish I could send you some of our warm weather here in south florida.

  Wow - your attorney would not only appeal, but have the judge investigated? What a bulldog, looks like you picked a good lawyer. Congrats.
  
  
  

• Fallyn said on Dec 14, 2007....

  thankyou ALL of you for your support...this means so much to me!
  
  unique.....you don't know how much better and relaxed your comment made me feel. thankyou for that insight. i REALLY appreciate you pointing that out.
  
  dee, WOW.....that's awful! i really hope that everything goes okay! *HUGS* and thankyou.
  
  daniel. my lawyer is SOOOO completely cool. at first she scared me and it felt like she was totally heartless.
  but now...i can see she has a warmth all her own.....she is one of the strongest women i have ever met.
  and VERY VERY good at what she does.....not that my ex made her job all that difficult.
  
  

• secretlife said on Dec 14, 2007....
