is a good way to describe BM. SHe always seems to flare up at times when you just start forgetting that she exists. My parents came here last night to go see a Big Band review with us. This morning I made them breakfast and we took them out on the boat for a ride around the island. The weather was perfect- 80 with a slight breeze and the water was calm.

We got back into the dock and DH checked his cell phone which was blinking. BM had called complaining about SD20's dog which lives with BM for the past year (seems that after a year it is BM's dog). DH invited SD20 to come visit us next weekend when her Half-brother is in town. DH did not invite SD17 who has been living with her boyfriend since January when she moved back to be with her mom, ran off with her BF20. DH is still mad at SD17, has told her he doesn't approve of her behavior, lifestyle, dropping out of high school)etc. Of course we still have to pay CS for SD17 even though she doesn't live with her BM.

BM wanted to tell DH that she was going out of town next weekend and WE would have to take care of her dog!! BM also wanted to know WHY we had not invited SD17 to come next weekend. DH is worried that it will be too tense if SD17 is here. He doesn't want the dog to come either but BD22 was here last weekend with her dog who is well behaved. This dog is mean, yappy and has fear aggression. He will bite when scared and does not like most men. I told DH that we can keep him in the mudroom with a baby gate when we go out on the boat.

BM will keep calling and calling about next weekend so I told DH to deal with her NOW so she doesn't ruin our Saturday night- this has happened many times in the past.BM goes crazy if you don't call her back right away.
