Heartache Update

I received a phone call about an hour ago from my boys' stepmom. I was at Lil' Miss' school delivering lunch to her so I didn't to get to actually talk to their stepmom. So I listened to the voicemail, hoping they would be here tonight, rather than tomorrow night, which was a definate possibility. I was not prepared to hear this:

"Hi, Suzette. It's Wanda. I was just calling to let you know that we won't be coming there this week, because we just found out that it's only a preliminary hearing and not the trial and we won't even be able to get in for that......"

After that I stopped hearing what she had said and was just numb. I don't know what to say or what to do. It's not like this was malicious or intentional, but it hurts like hell, just the same.

Lil' Miss.......

How am I going to explain this to her when I don't even know how to cope with the pain? I've got 3 1/2 hours before she comes home, expecting her brothers to soon arrive, and instead I'll have to tell her that they're not coming.

I think I'm going to go to bed and cry myself to sleep.
