Feel like doing something bad
I picked up Skids about an hour ago. I was going though their backpacks to see what homework they have. I found a student loan bill of BM's. I have heard through SO and MIL that BM has a ton of student loans. She was taking the money and not attending classes. She never got her degree.
I really feel like opening it. }:) }:)

Feeling sad right now
background: CO says that BM claims Skids every year. She didn't make enough to claim them or to file taxes at all (I'm not sure which) last year so SO claimed them and gave BM $1000.
SO just text me that BM wants to do the same thing again this year. It makes me sad. I know he's doing it for the extra money and not to help BM but I hate it. I feel like after 5 years SO should be DH and WE should be doing our taxes together and if BM can't claim the kids, to effing bad.

I'm starting to hate Federal Holidays
SO and I work for the Air Force and as such we get a lot of the same holidays as the Skids off of work.
19 Jan is MLK day. We have it off and I'm assuming that Skids do too. The problem is that EVERYtime the school has a holiday, we keep the Skids even though they days are actually BM's. (She NEVER wants them)
After having them for 13 straight days during Christmas Break and SS being a total jerk, I calmly had the following conversation with SO about MLK Day

What would you think
This year I decided to send some Christmas cards to a couple of people in my family. I haven't done this in more than 10 years. I purchased the multi card pack and had tons left over because I don't speak to most of my family. I asked SO if he would like to send a card to his mom and one to his dad and SM. Ok, then he wanted to send one to his sister. Fine. Of course, I filled out each card and put pics of the kids in them, addressed them and put them in the mail.

What I did on my Christmas Vacation
Ok, so after spending 13 straight days with Skids, I am sooo happy to be back to work.
SS8 was a nightmare the entire time. Below is just some of the crap he pulled.
Christmas eve - Threw a fit when he was given PJs to open but then loved them when he saw they were his fav football team. Then threw a fit because he didn't like the favor of hot chocolate he got.

Christmas Dinner
So Christmas dinner at FIL and MIL was OK. MIL didn't talk about BM the entire time like usual. It did get awkward when SO's EXSD and EXSS came over. BM went on a camping trip with her new boy toy over Christmas. That's why we have SKids for 13 days straight. Well she left her two teenagers alone (15 and 17), since they didn't have anyone for Christmas MIL invited them to dinner. I wasn't happy about it but what can I say. BM decides to leave her kids alone for Christmas and I have to deal with the fall out.

SO's SM
Not looking forward to Christmas with SO's SM. All she talks about is BM. It's all bad but after 5 years, it's enough already. I know what she's like. SO and I live it EVERY day. We don't need his SM brining her up every time we go over her house. I hope I can talk SO into making it a short visit, OR I might just bring my extra-large flask along with me. She just emailed SO and told him to not bring our dog with us. Ok, we didn't plan on bringing any of the three dogs with us. Ahhh

It's like BM is actively trying to screw with Skids
Last week SS8's teacher emailed a list of items needed for their holiday party and said that the 18th was PJ day.
I was kinda like WTF. I just sent green M&M's two days before, make cookies for cultural day the week before and bought SD juice boxes and snacks for her class. It never ends.
I was texting SO this and he said to text him the list of items and he would have BM send the stuff in. Yeah right. She has NEVER sent anything in for the kids since they started school.
