OT-loving ourselves, taking care of US!

I remember the years I was consumed with crazy witch...the time I spent thinking I was too skinny and then I was too fat...the stress of child support, the preggo 16yr old...

And then I got sick...very sick...I caught MRSA...I was in the hospital and almost lost my life...it took a couple of months to get back to normal. Then, around Christmas the MRSA reared it's ugly head again...after some antibiotics I developed a life threatening allergic reaction...I am still getting medical care...

Just had a big blow out with DH

Just had a big blow out with DH about parenting. I thought he was being too hard on BD12, I intervened, he totally lost it. I told him it has seemed lately like he is very touchy and with both BD12 and SD12, almost every time he has a conversation with them where it doesn't go exactly right he escalates his anger very quickly. Apparently he took this to mean I was saying he was a bad father and I didn't want him dealing with the kids anymore.

We're in the home stretch!

Got some good news a few months ago about BF's divorce!

We got discovery responses back from BM where we asked her explicitly what her proposal was for finding a job and supporting herself and daytime care for SD. She clearly stated she intends to relocate to live with her parents. She made some incoherent suggestions for if she didn't move, such as only working part time or going back to school, but nothing concrete.

Raging pissed at BM's complete lack of consideration for others.

I blogged earlier this week about how BM wanted us to take the skids for a few hours (originally asked for overnight) today. Since FDH works at both of his jobs today with a break between 2 and 7 he told her we'd take them just until her mom gets off of work this afternoon. She said she'd drop them off here at 1.

Phase 2 of GAL

The interim report we got back in October was really disappointing. Even though there were all these flags all over the place of how nuts BM is, GAL did not recommend any changes. Going into the final report, the GAL was not very responsive or communicative to BF. She even said she didn't need a followup interview with either of them.

She did contact both lawyers and said she wanted to discuss what she was planning to recommend with both of them to see if they could come to some sort of agreement, to see if it would even be necessary for her to finish the report.

Is he worth my insanity!!??

Sometimes I wonder why im putting myself through all this! My skids drive me absolutely crazy and FDH makes excuses, lets them get away with treating people bad, changes the subject when I try to talk about our issues, won't let me disipline them like i would my own, but wants me to clean, cook, be a taxi, get them clothes, haircuts, toys, take them where they want to go, etc. etc. If he wants me to be thier Mom then he needs to step back in every area. BM abandonded them and he feels guilty, Im not cushioning their hearts, or kissing their ass for this!! SS 13 is SPOILED beyond my belief.

What now?!

Loca Grande texted me Friday morning at 6am. Thank goodness I was going back to work, so I was awake. We exchanged a few texts back and forth- she wanted to meet to give loghead some money she owes him. I texted to just bring it to the ball game Saturday. She text back that Lazy Boye told her he didn't want her he didn't want her to come to his "f$%^ing games" any more and that he didn't want to see her. She texted she wouldn't be coming to the game.

CRAP. What now? We know PITA wants nothing to do with her, but what turned the tides for Lazy Boye?
