personal items from a previous marriage after you remarry? For example: ring, dress, pictures etc? Have any of you kept any items for your kids from a previous marriage? Dh kept wedding band for skids. I got rid of everything that I had. I didn't want a reminder for me or my new DH. My kids know their dad and I love them. New life, new beginning. To me it was insulting that he would think so much of their marriage to even keep his ring.

for the summer. Perhaps she took my rant at Christmas time seriously. I am happy about it. Does this make me a bad person? DH doesn't want them to go but per court order she is allowd 30 consecutive days. He only wants them to go for 2 wks. OOH! Hell No!! I need a break. BM has never taken the kids for more than a week and once she even asked us to pay daycare. Skids continually say how wonderful BM is every other weekend. I can't wait to see how wonderful she is when she has to actually be a parent for 30 days.

SS11 has been playing baseball and BD10 also. I have been running the both of them to practice, to games 6 days a week. The season ended last week. To get to the point, SS11 was made to quit baseball a few weeks ago because of his behavior at school.(this was my suggestion because he was on this 3rd ISS.) Well his coach calls last week and asks if he could play in the tournament. DH says yes. So here I am running him around for practice Tues @ 7:00 Today @ 5:30.

I'm just having a bad day today. I am constantly running kids here, there, everywhere. I am physically exhausted. Kids having been so demanding. Did you do this, did you do that, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. I am on the road every night of the week with practice, ballgames etc. Tonight, I take SS11 to his baseball game. His BM shows up. Lovely. Anyway, the B*tch can't even stay to watch her son play a whole friggin game. Has never offered to take SS to any game. This is not the first time. So when we get home I ask SS11, why doesn't your mom stay for your games?
