You are NOT GMOTY...
I do NOT understand why MIL thinks she's GMOTY...Seriously...
DH has had visitation with SD set in stone for quite a few years, and MIL can NEVER seem to make herself available to spend time with SD...
DH has always been like "eh" with it...and when I came into the picture, I tried to help them (foolish me...). I'd have DH call his mom so SD could talk to her etc...Make sure to invite her over when SD was over, etc...etc...

The silly games...
So on Thursday, BM sent DH some 1/2 random text about some event SD is supposed to be involved in today...It was a forwarded email from her girl scout leader...It's the kind of email that gives limited information because you already know the big picture...No names of adults...No name of the event...no nothing...Pretty much she's supposed to be a part of one of a million parades going on today in our city...The email said something like, "Be at 3rd street at 7:45am for the parade. Ms.

Damned if he does...Damned if he doesn't...Part 2
So DH gets a phone call from BM this morning as he's on his way to work...
This is VERY odd and never happens (in the 5 years we've been together), so thinking something is wrong, he answered the phone, and it's SD6. She is asking DH if he could get her from school today and she stay with him tonight.
DH of course is guarded and asks what's going on...He gets silence for a couple of seconds and can hear BM in the background...She says she wants to spend the night with him...(She's obviously being coached)

OT: I feel like I just fell into a blender...
I'm utterly and completely EXHAUSTED!
We just got back from DS's 2nd birthday party, and OH EM GEE! I'm beat...19 kids and parents (every child came with 2 parents...).
I planned and executed this entire party all by myself...ALL BY MYSELF...Which was fine as I'm a bit of a control freak and a super party planner, so I really didn't want or need much help during the planning stage...
Not like I was going to get any...

Jesus take the wheel...
I swear...If my DH's brain wasn't nailed into his skull, it'd be rolling down the interstate or something...
So...This is Thursday...We have SD every other Thursday evening until Friday AM. DH takes her to school the next morning...This is an added date to the regular every other weekend as BM acted such a donkey in court the judge gave him more time...Anyway, he's had this Thursday for 4 years...
So I get home at @ 5:50, and DH is already home...Okay...That's cool...So I walk in the door, and I say, "Where's SD?". BLANK STARE...

Sorry, but I'm NOT Betty Crocker...
I don't know why folks think just because I've got a vag, that I'm into baking and cooking and crap...
I have to be in the MOOD for stuff like this, and SORRY but I'll probably NEVER be in the mood with SD...
SD INFORMED me that she wanted to baked cookies...I wasn't even going to get into it with her over how wrong her approach was as I don't care, but I just said...Uh...I don't think so as I'm leaving and when I get back, you'll be gone...
So then she asked MIL to bake cookies the next time she comes over to our house...She told her yes...

PAS...an upside? Maybe?
I'm in a very special situation...
So because BM has tried to keep DH out of SD's life as much as possible, literally tries to fight him when he tries to be involved with Sd's activities, he just doesn't involve himself...So as a result, I'm reaping the benefit of him having some "firsts"...
Tonight was DS's first time going Trick or Treating, and I didn't know it, but this was DH's FIRST time taking any child Trick or Treating...To see DH's face and watching them together was PRICELESS...

Lack of planning on your part doesn't constitute...you know the rest...
I work really hard...
Just need to put that out there before my LONG rant...
I'm a first time mom to a great almost 2 year old boy...Been married for almost 3 1/2 years...Just celebrated 1 year in my new home...Lots of new stuff over the past few years...
I juggle a lot...Just like every mother on the planet...I don't think I'm doing anything special...
I'm a planner. I HATE...and will damn near FIGHT you if somebody throws some last minute unplanned, could have been avoided crap on me. I do it and adjust, but you will hear "it" from me...
I probably shouldn't be dancing....
BUT...I am...*shrugs*
So DH got a certified letter in the mail from BM...I actually signed for it to be a bish...(something that I RARELY do...I'm so unplugged...but I was feeling a bit saucy). I made a point to sign it Mrs. Shielded...I wanted her to see my full married name (something she already knows...)...so as to piss her off...Kinda the, "He married ME...not you bish"...
BM always told her friends that DH wasn't the marrying type, he was a playboy, etc...etc...etc...NO he's not...He just didn't want to marry YOU...
Anyway...That was the first...

SD's behavior sets the tone of our activities when she's here! :(
Whenever SD7 comes over I swear there's a 50/50 chance my plans will have to change...
Why?
Because she's a bad azz...That's just the truth...I'm tired of sugar coating it...
So here were the plans...Considering I'm under the weather, DH was going to take DS2 and SD7...Pretty much that means he'll put them in the play room and let them play...and probably let them watch a movie together...And he'll make them something "fun" to eat...
