So far...UGH.

Well, we're back from NJ as of last night. The ride back sucked. It was SD crying about missing having an intact family and FDH going "there, there, it does suck, I'm so sorry, SD" and romanticizing the fact that she and he used to spend all their time together - without so much as one word from him about how it wasn't fair of him to put her in such a role, rather it became how it was unfair of him to just suddenly rip that away from her. And that's not to mention the fact that it was completely AWKWARD to be in the car while they were having this convo.

Little to no anxiety

So, FDH and I are in NJ and SD is at his sister's house. We are going to be seeing her for a family dinner this evening and I'm not bugging at all.

I know it's not the Xanax because I've been on that before and been anxious about seeing SD. This time, I think I'm gonna have to credit my CBT and the theanine that I take twice a day for my anxiety.

SD isn't even here yet and GUBM is causing issues already....(strong language inside)

So, SD texted FDH today and told him that she just got a new kitten. And that GUBM is telling her that she needs to ask him if she can take the kitten here with her for her visit. Because "if she's going to be away that long, she needs to learn about responsibility."

UHM.....

Update to engagement pics

FDH and I talked a little bit about it yesterday and this morning when he got home from work and I think the "crisis" has been successfully averted.

FDH and I discussed potential locations yesterday, and, today, when he got home from work this morning, I asked him what SD would be doing when we do our photos.

Engagement photos while SD is here...

A good friend of ours, who is also in my bridal party, will be doing our engagement photos for our save the dates. The unfortunate aspect of this is that the best weekend we can do this will be the first weekend SD is here. Now, I'm not too buggy about this because my friend from Michigan will also be here, so, if SD is being a troll, she can hang back at the house with SD while we go off or, at the very least, she can hang out with SD while we're all out and about doing our shots (they would come with us).

But, what FDH was saying, he wants SD in the shots. Blargh. Why???

Seems like it is about to all hit the fan...

Yesterday, FDH got all of the paperwork in the mail that he needs to enroll SD into the cyber school.

Now, GUBM knows, or was at least informed, that he is going to do as much. He texted her that he was going to enroll SD, she responded to the text message with nonsense about how the same kind of school in NJ is too expensive for her and blahblah.

Sorry to blog hog, but just had to share!

FDH actually did something! He contacted the cyber school here in PA and he's now looking into getting SD's birth certificate and unofficial transcripts so he can get started on enrolling her into school, something that should have been and could have been handled a month ago had GUBM pulled her head out of her ass long enough to realize that there are other options and, gee, maybe SD's dad CAN help...
