our day in court...court



Wednesday, September 28, 2011

the night before and the day in court...

we woke up after a distressingly uneasy night in an ok motel. the room was ok and the bed was comfortable enough. i sleep with a window or door open, cant stand the fan or air on. libby's mom lillian has a THING about the doors and windows being shut and locked. and libby had the bed by the window. leaving elaine and i behind the wall where it was VERY stuffy. the air conditioner worked and man, it let you know when it was working,LOL it was so noisy. i tryed to stuff paper in spots that may have been responsible for all the racket but no good! after half the night like that i shut the damn thing off!! snuck and opened the door for a while and that was bliss but didnt last long. after i just let us all be stiffled. woke up and elaine and libby and lillian were already up, getting ready. lillian had her clothes on and her purse on her arm. asking us where were we going(at least five times before we left). we got out the door at five minutes to eight and still got to court on time! as usual they tell you to be there at least an hour before the judge shows up. he wasn't to bad but he was firm. the first thing they did was announce that her attourney had been disbarred. after all the things she told me about her bad luck with the court systems i had to laugh outloud. elaine had moved to another county without telling her probation officer and hadnt't finished paying a fine. that's not too awful. they slammed her for it, though. i tryed to say something in her defence and almost went with her. i told them "y'all suck" the judge asked for a financial statement to qualify her for referal to the public deffender office.she goes to court next week. she had no money and i didnt have any to put on her books. libby said she would put some on for her but we'll see. see did get a 25 dollar phone card so she can call us.her sons are doing the windows in the house and washing and detailing her hummer for the money to pay for a train ticket and other costs. keep you all posted on the life and times...
