the Ex (biokid's dad) is now in arrears by about $500.00

I went online to our court website to see if they put a bench warrant on him yet (I'm waiting for the angry phone call, accusing me of doing this TO him, I haven't contacted Domestic Relations about it, but it's automated, so I figure the warrant is forthcoming)

anyway, so I looked him on on the docket search and found judgements from:
Ford Motor Credit and CAB leasing (over $5,000)
Capital One over $8,000
A collection agency (had to google the name) over $10,000

I actually had a Nice Mother’s Day! I thought I’d share a glimmer of hope that I had

Saturday, I got flowers delivered to me from my Step-daughter, and her card came in the mail too. The card was touching, and she put a note in it to say how she was grateful to have my and my daughters in her family

Sunday I woke up, to find some more flowers from the Step-Son (mooch) and a card from the grandbaby (how nice)

Then learned that the G/F was taking the grandbaby out early… bye bye!
SS was working all day (see ya)

Every year, we take a family vacation for a week at the beach. Over the years, SD has gone out of her way to chip in for whatever she can afford… she has brought some of her “significant others” with her on vacation, which is fine. She’s been with the same guy for going on three years now… he’s from TX (we’re in PA) he’s a great guy, they make an awesome couple.

The “big party” is on Saturday. When they asked if “we” could have a party, I said “sure” and was all about helping them out. (if you recall, I asked for a guest list and addresses from The GF and they acted as if I were asking them to reveal National Secrets)
:?
I backed off and said “no problem” and turned over all responsibilities to the SS and GF. The ONLY thing that DH and I insisted on, was taking care of the birthday cake (they weren’t going to have a cake, GF was going to make cupcakes and that’s it)
