It's been a while since I posted and a lot has happened. DH and I got married a couple of weeks ago and I've been having fun calling him "husband" and the married life. Not much has changed really since we've been living together for 2 years already and have had SD9 for 2 years as of next month.

BM came for another visit. She arrived yesterday right after SD9 got out of school and she's leaving this morning sometime before noon. We let her stay in the guest room so that she didn't have to spring for a hotel. I'm glad that BM is holding to her word to visit SD more often. BM said she was going to try to visit every coulple of weeks, and seems to be much more together. I hope it continues - she said that she's getting a job and stable place to live about an hour and a half away from us.

Well folks, it's finally happened. BM has decided to come visit SD9 for the first time in a year and a half. SD and BM have had phone contact during that time, but FDH and I have had 100% custody, and thank God for grandparents to help out on weekends from time to time. SD and I have a great relationship. We're actually about to go out to eat dinner together, just a girls' night.

This happened last night and I am still steaming over it. FDH asked if he could borrow my car to take one of our friends over to another friend's house to pick up some money that the guy was owed. I was cool with FDH taking my car b/c the friend owes me some money and I'm ready to be paid back. I hope this makes sense so far. So they left at about 8:20pm. FDH said they were just going to pick up the money and would be right back. SD8 is already in bed. I finish some homework and pick up some pleasure reading, expecting them to be back any moment.
