I love it when she thinks she can tell me what to do......

"MY house means MY rules. <-See that period? That's the end of the sentence and this discussion."

So BM hasn't seen or spoken to SS in over a month. All summer long she would pick him up for about 5 hours, dump him off on a family member or return him home every 30 days give or take.

Last week, he called, left her a voicemail and she didn't even bother to call him back or contact SO-or me by proxy. She has not spoken to, or exchanged texts with SO since our court date at the end of August where she gave us primary custody.

OT-these clowns had me up until 2 am

My 20 and 19 year old cousins live up the street with the 20 year old' girlfriend. They have been getting messages on FB from a clown who I suspect is a friend of theirs messing with them. My 20 year old cousin has posted anti-creepy clown things this making him an easy target for a prank.

This went on all day, despite numerous reassurance that it's a joke. The prankster left a note, knows where my cousin lives-my cousin is ridiculously gullible.

I feel bad for BM's sister

This past week I talked with BM's mom after she called SS. BM's mom was a sucky mom from what I understand when BM was little but has since moved 5 states and has her act together. She has a great relationship with SO. When SO found out about SS-GBM made him baby books, sent him videos of SS's infancy and really tried to make up for lost time. She calls SS now and again.

OT miscarriages, ex's and internet trolls.

When I was in college I had a miscarriage. It was incredibly difficult. Less than a month after that I witnessed a horrible car accident and to make a long story short I spent a lot of time in therapy grappling with the idea of death. If anyone here suffers from PTSD I strongly recommend EMDR therapy. It really is incredible.

When I first learned of my pregnancy my ex went on a 3 week bender to live out the rest of his 20's in less than 9 months and pretty much left me wondering how exactly I was going to get my degree and juggle being a single mom.

I really need to take vacation more often

So SO and I have been away since early Friday morning and are just getting back into town after a weekend away for my college roommates wedding.

It was absolutely gorgeous, the food was amazing and the bill for it all is probably more than 3 years of salary. All my close friends from college were there and even though we've all graduated and are functioning adults-college days come back pretty quick and we all can't seem to keep it appropriate for more than 5 minutes no matter how fancy the diggs.

Not only is it Monday, but SS's school RN called-he has lice. And I cannot for the life of me, figure out how this happened. He has super dry scalp, so when he complained of it hinge the last few days I doused him in coconut oil and told him to make sure when he visits BIL that he showers (he stayed over a few night a couple weeks ago). He used to complain about this constantly when he was living with BM but since he's moved here and is showering regularly it hasn't been an issue all summer.

She didn't show up AGAIN

Yet again, BM said she would get SS. Again, she tells SS this in a phone call after his 1st day of school. He came home from school on Friday saying "I really hope mom picks me up today." I told him that she didn't give me a date and time, but he could certainly call her and leave her a voicemail.

It was heartbreaking to watch. "Hey mom, it's me, I was just seeing if you were getting me or not. I was really hoping you would come. Okay bye."

Flavor of the week: Robbery

BM called this morning. SS was getting ready for school. His bus showed up early so he didn't have a chance to call her back. I texted her. I laid on a good thick layer of guilt trip. According to her, her apartment which was supposedly fumigated for cockroaches last month, that she was supposedly getting evicted from, has now been robbed. "Took anything of value" the robbers did. So instead of giving us money for support or taking SS school shopping-she bought him a PS4...should be really interesting to play seeing as she sold her TV on a garage sale site.

It's getting harder and harder to cover for her

The last two weekend SS11 was supposed to go see BM. She called and said she was going to take him to the local fair, get him a ride wristband and give him $50 for games. No call. No show. She told SS this plan.

Last weekend, same thing-going to get him and take him school shopping all day. Crickets. SO texted her yesterday. No response.
