Is that Victory I smell?!?

Yes, I love the smell of victory in the courtroom! Unfortunately, we did not get to finish our hearing yesterday due to a variety of reasons, the main one being that the doddering old fool opposing counsel is deliberately using stall tactics and besides that, he visibly agitated all 3 witnesses (S, my cousin, and S's so-called mother) b/c his questions are so very fucked-up and idiotic. But the judge knows what he's doing, and so does the amicus, and even though they can't come out and say anything, it's obvious to me that they have had their fill of the old fool and his crazy, lying client. So as far as I'm concerned it's going well for us, even if S did trip up while testifying a few times and fall for some dirty lawyer's tricks under cross examination, but that is b/c he gets too emotional and since he is not a details person, cannot recall all the facts exactly sometimes. I cannot wait to testify!!! I know all the lawyers' tricks and manipulations (as our atty. told us yesterday, that is a lawyer's job, to manipulate) and am way too sharp and smart and quick to fall for idiotic moves. I didn't read all those O.J. Simpson books this year for nothing. Not to mention all the other true crime, MDK, and trial books I've read my whole life, plus all the hours I've logged in with watching Judge Judy, the new People's Court, etc. I know how to play this game!!!

The whore and the lying old bag keep pissing off the all-important amicus. The bailiff even had to scold the lying old bag that if she didn't pipe down she would have to wait outside, and the amicus saw and heard that. The doddering old fool had an associate with him, and at one point the lying old bag hissed at him, "Why can't you just believe us?!?!?" and the associate said, "Vivian, you're not going to make a liar out of me!" and stormed off. Then when we were done for the day, the associate and the whore and the lying old bag accosted the amicus out in the hallway and accused him of serving as our advocate (mine and S's)! Yeah, way to alienate the amicus, the child's atty., whose opinion is vital in the custody case! Good, they can just keep pissing him off and making him realize with his own eyes and ears who the dangerous crazy nut liars are in this case!

God, I cannot wait for next week. And thank the good Lord that we got squeezed in for next week, b/c the judge said at first that the next available date wasn't until September. When I heard that I wanted to cry. But the judge pulled some strings (see--I believe he knows what's going on here) and got us in for next Thurs. I'm going to use words like "habitual, incorrigible fabricator" and "scofflaw" when describing the whore. See, I know legal terms too, old fool! I can't wait to destroy his dumb ass on cross, and I'll do it while "Yes Sir"ing him and "No Sir"ing him to death. I dare him to attack me and I will cherish the fight. I just feel bad that 2 of our witnesses didn't get to testify. But at least we got my cousin and S's POS mom in there. They both did great. At one point S's mother testified that she thought S was more stable now than he's ever been in his life. At first, that gave me a warm feeling in my heart to hear her admit that, but then I thought, "No thanks to you, bitch!" When I saw her and her husband in the hallway, I strode right past them and ignored them, which is exactly what they deserve.

Mudflap was one of the witnesses who we did not have time to get to. But fortunately he will be able to return next Thursday, thank God again. Unbelievably, S had to rush off to work when we were done so he could close down, and we were all outraged at that bullshit. So since I was all wired up and burned out and carless, Mudflap took me to eat comfort food in the form of all-you-can-eat Crab legs, his treat! I ended up not ordering the all-you-can-eat, but got shrimp and a margarita instead, which hit the spot. However, I've still had a headache for almost 24 hours now.

So tonight I get to play the frustrating game of "Will the Daycare let me Take the Baby at 6pm Instead of at 6:30 So that She and I can go to Zoobilee, the Free Members-Only Kids Party at the Zoo tonight?" I was going to leave work at 3 and go pick her up early since the party is from 5-8 but then the daycare owner told me 2 weeks ago that the whore is insisting we not get the baby until 6:30 on the dot, like the court order says! And I told the daycare owner that that was fine, and that we were going to use this in court to show yet another example of the whore's uncooperation and unreasonableness. I hope she likes that rope of hers b/c she's using it to slowly strangle herself, and she is way too stupid and insane to stop!
