It was a wonderful day today with all 3 of my bkids wishing me a happy Mother's day and spending time with me. I have told them not to get me gifts as 2 of them are in college and try very hard to make ends meet without assistance from dh or I.

}:) When Loca Grande got pissed at me back in January, she said not to write her again or send things anymore, that the skids were old enough to do that on their own now. So I left it to them. I told them weeks ago if they wanted to send a card, or a gift, they would need to take care of it.

Found out today none of them sent a card. Loca Grande was mad at Princess about something (big surprise) and wouldn't answer her phone, and didn't have her voice mail set up.

I'll always remember today, because it ended with one of the funniest things that has ever happened to me! Not to make anyone fell bad, but I had a great Mother's Day. I ended up sleeping on the couch last night (long story, but nothing bad) and somehow, we all managed to sleep in till after 8 am. Gibby, my BS 9, came in kissed me and wished me happy day, and he went back to his room to watch movies. later I finally got up and crawled back in bed with Loghead, and we watched the news and our Sunday morning favorite- Yard Crashers.

Well...what a day. After disaster after disaster the last few weekends with the oldest fsd8...this weekend was going perfect. We did not have to correct her once...everything was smooth and I even took them to a bday party for a friend with me yesterday.

Stain is mad I won't buy him another car, I bought his first. I didn't even buy my own kids a car, their grandparents bought them for them. I felt bad Stain didn't have a car, this was years ago so to make things fair for all the kids Stain was bought a car. He didn't maintain it and it broke down now he wants a new one. His mom who has over 200 thousand in the bank won't help him and comes on my facebook page with him and starts berating me. I blocked her and him. I unblocked him so I could print out what they wrote and now can't reblock him for 48 hours.

Not even a text from either sd13 or ss16.

The fact that I'm due with my first child any day now does pacify my feelings a bit...

I've had numerous parents tell me that "It's all about Mom" when children are young, but that doesn't take the sting out of it for FDH when FSD3 screams that she wants Miss Know It All instead of him. It doesn't make him feel any better when she clings to me and talks to me non-stop when I show up to see him.

To all you selfless step mommas I would love to wish you a very happy mothers day. We put up with the BS from skids, Baby mommas, in laws and DH's. Yet we are strong women who are not recognized for our sacrifices. They dont see the changes we make in our lives for kids that aren't even ours, no one sees all the stuff we put up with because of the skids and those dh's.
so to all of you I raise my margarita glass HIGH and toast to you!

Since I've disengaged from his daughter DH is slowly seeing I mean business.

I do not speak of her nor do I answer him when he speaks of her. Any words he wastes on or about her go unanswered by me. I say not one word nor give any indication I've heard him.

One thing I have noticed him doing..lol...he's began to say such things as "Now..I know my daughter's a little shit..and I know I can't change her..but I love her..." and his voice trails off.

My answer to that?

NOTHING.

Got a tip from a family member that DH's ex was on Facebook saying things about him.

She made a comment on how she just got out of jail after several days and paid a huge fine. She's claiming that she took the blame for my DH a while back on an accident and he never paid the fines.

Okay..if you go online and look at public records it showed she was arrested back in '08 for driving with a suspended license and never paid her fines. They had 2 different bench warrants out for her over the past 3 years. They must have finally caught up with her.
