I celebrated my bday last week and over the weekend we took SD's 5 & 13 to a hotel so we could all enjoy the pool, hottub, spa. I invited my BFF, my DH's BFF, SD5's BM, and SD13's BM and all of the applicable family memebers that come with all of the above. Only my BFF and his family, and SD5's BM & family came and it was perfect. We had a great time. We learned some fun facts regarding why SD13's Bm could not make it...

Conversations with SS….

Me…Do you work tonight?
SS…No I don’t…well, Im not sure, my boss has not made the schedule yet…yea, I do have to work tonight.

AARRRGGGGG!!! I want to shake him and tell him to not talk unless he is sure of what is coming out of his damn mouth. It is so frustrating to get this kind of crap EVERYTIME you try and talk to him. Another example…

Me…What did you have for lunch SS?
SS…A hamburger, I mean two hamburgers and a shake and 3 orders of fries. Oh no, that was yesterday, today I had a pizza.

Just wondering...

Under this new law DH definitely will have to pay less.
1. We have them every weekend instead of EOW, so > 20% time.
2. BM will not be able to claim income as ZERO.

But I don't know if it will apply to Modifications, instead of New Agreements. :?

Has anyone in FL managed to have an existing CS order revised according to the new guidelines?

Ok I just found out exactly how much my dh makes including over time. Now since dh has been working for this company he has always had over time but of course that goes up and down. I thought he was making a little less then what he is really making which is why I thought it was only 56 difference but it is 101 difference.

Some of you may know that the BM in my situation only has supervised visitation with the boys b/c of her history of drug abuse. The supervising party is her mother. Today SS13 ran away from his grandmother's and went to his mother's house unsupervised. He won't leave and BM won't make him. BM is clearly in contempt of court but the Sheriff's Office here can't do anything about it. They say I have to talk to a magistrate. There's no magistrate in at the moment and no one to ask when one will be available.

I have a question, we have 3 years to go when the oldest will be 18 and I know that dh will have to go to court to make bm sign anything stating that ss is 18 and CS should go down. Now here is my question, CS was set by our lawyer at 140 a week for 3 kids, over the years bm has not taken dh back to get more CS which a good thing b/c if we base it off of 40 hours a week dh pays what he is supposed to but if we base it off his over time he pays about 56 under. So what would happen in court how will it work?

I've been gone from home since Friday when I left for my Grandmother's funeral. when i got home neither skid said anything to me. i asked DH if they knew Gma passed - yes - he told them when they got there. i'm not asking for a card, flower, hug - i just thought a simple "sorry about your gma" wasn't too much to ask. well apparently it was. I've spend as much of the entire last week with her while she was in hospice as possible. My husband stayed behind.

To follow up on weather dh got his kids this past weekend. He got 1 boy! I blogged that first ss11 called and wanted to go to a bday party over night. Dh let him go to it. Then bm texted and wanted to keep the otehr 2 so she could have some 1 on 1 with ss15. (I blogged about her wanting him to live with us then changed her mind)

Skid is on 6 dif meds, one is for diabetes,(her blood sugar was 140,( which I thot was in the normal range but what do I know) one is for anxiety, and BF doesnt know the rest but is supposed to get with doc today as she wasnt available over the weekend.
Skid now says she wanted to be there,
Duh, She would rather be there than home with her mom.
BF visited on all his times this weekend,
BM was late everytime.

ok, so i have a DECENT not great but decent relationship with my skids. We were at a movie rental place shortly after picking them up for the weekend. I just noticed in the store what my skids were wearing (normally dress like rag dolls) my yougest sd had an outfit on that looked REALLY NICE on her, and i told her...sd that looks REALLY good on you (meant it sincerely). she stuck her tongue out at me and said ugh and walked away :jawdrop: . i told her loud enough for dh to hear (but he didn't) that was really rude! i texted him about it, and shut myself off to her until she apologized.
