IDGAF or Nosy? Where do you fall on the step spectrum?
Do you like to know skid/bm details?
Today DH and is the skid thing without me. I will want to know who went, how it went, where he sat, if her linebacker mother said hello to him...
I realize it could be better to never ask a single question. Let him volunteer info if he feels compelled.
It is just my nature to want the scoop when DH does skid related things without me.
I can't be the only one. I know it is immature, not worth it, who cares, ignore the whore, but...
Who else presses for details? Why or why not?
School ceremony that I am thrilled to be missing
SS gave us 2 tickets to his school ceremony Friday. Only 4 tickets allowed per kid.
BM sent me a bunch of threatening obnoxious messages the other day. Suddenly today she asks DH, all sweet and innocent, if I can give up my ticket for her mother to go to the ceremony. If DH ever asked her boyfriend to give up his ticket for one of his family members BM would laugh in his face.
My answer regarding the ticket: GLADLY. HAVE IT.

Long day and a longer one tomorrow.
Composing this from my phone, in bed, which I never do. Usually at work... so excuse the emotional excess.
Today sucked and tomorrow we are throwing a big birthday bash for SS. I expect 25 people. We never do big parties but decided a summer cookout/party would be a good idea this year. I definitely put my heart into getting this in order for him. DH found some side work (!!!!!) and was busy working today...

My friend is strictly a BM. I am strictly an SM. We clash now.
I have a friend who I absolutely love but sometimes we get into mini disagreements over the following:
BM trying on different personas
I'm going to have to see BM at a ceremony at skids school next week and I am nauseous per usual, but also curious as to her current persona.
When DH and I first started dating, BM was dating a musician, so she was going to rock concerts, quoting bands, wearing a short, edgy haircut with purple highlights, leather jackets, etc. They bought a house together, then suddenly someone else showed her attention and she promptly moved out.

Pity party for one, anyone care to join?
My mom just told me her and my dad made the decision to retire full time to Florida in 2018. They're currently part timers who are there a few months each winter.
It makes me sad as hell because she asked if I would ever consider relocating and of course DH would never do that to the skids. For better or worse I do care about my parents very much. Granted, they can drive me insane. If I ever have a child I would want to be a driving distance from my parents but now that probably will not happen. What's worse is I am sure my sister and her (kid free) man will relocate too.

DH stirring the ol' pot
We are having a birthday party for SSstb11 this weekend.
He wants an iphone for his gift. We certainly weren't getting him a new one, but DH did get him a refurbished iphone 5 for very cheap and plan to set him up on our plan, with reasonable limits.

To boat or not to boat?
FIL has a small boat (I know NOTHING about boats, NOTHING) that is I guess more of a fishing boat? I would say about 6 people could fit in it comfortably. It "runs well" apparently.
He offered it to DH for $2,000, which does not need to be paid immediately. He just wants it off his hands.
Of course my first response is hell no, we do not have the money. DH wants to try to see if we can keep it at the boatyard down the street first and then make a decision. We live on the bay.
So my question... small boat... worth it or money pit?

I ignored the wh*re
The skid weekend was overall halfway decent. I think I am finally finding a balance between engaging and disengaging that works for me. I took a few hours Saturday to venture off solo and shop, when I got home DH had made the 2 of us a nice dinner, the skids got happy meals beforehand and were in their room playing.
I feel as a couple, we are slowly rekindling the flame. We are kissing more. We are laughing more.
Naturally, the only shit part of the weekend was a BM outburst.

BM keeps stuff from our house and it is driving me crazy.
Just a vent about something small.
Skids come mid week, straight from school, eat, shower and go home in pajamas. For awhile, BM would send a bag of pajamas. A few months ago she stopped.
So after their shower, for a few months now, they go home in pajamas or other comfy clothes, socks and underwear from our house. Teeth brushed.
Homework done and put away in their folders. All ready for bed. And yet... she never returns anything.
