O/T Las Vegas...

I mentioned in my last blog that I'm heading to Vegas in Feb, but I'm also heading there this weekend.

Not all of my kids want to come, and I don't want to make it a "mini vacation" because of the trip in Feb, so I'm looking at things to do that are basically the "free" sights in the area so the others don't feel like they've missed out. Wink

SDs and StickAFork...

(I have two SDs...SD19 from DH, SD22 from XH. I don't like SD19, love SD22 like my own.)

So, awhile back I had suggested that DH and I send SD19 a "congrats on the baby" card. I thought it was the polite thing to do.

Nothing has come of it until somewhat recently.

DH and SD have been FB'ing and he asked her to friend him. She said she would, but hasn't actually done it yet and it's been over a week. (Go figure.) Agreeing to friend him, of course, was contingent on her telling him that he isn't "allowed" to comment on anything she posts, so take it how you will.

Awww, helllll...

Just blowing off a little steam.

SD is preggers, and now I'M starting to get baby fever.

I'm *only* (haha) 36, but I started my family young. My SD (the one I basically raised) is 22, and my bios are 12, 15, and 18.

However, DH and I are still plenty young to pop out another one. (His kids are 19 and 24.)

We have agreed that we don't want an "ours," and I know that's the right decision.

I still agree with it.

I f'n HATE CS enforcement!!!

WTF?!?

DH hasn't owed CS in forever... the "kids" are "adults." (LOL.)

He's never been in arrears. Ever. BM went to court a year AFTER SD graduated HS and got an order for bullshit medical. (Birth control and therapy and bullshit.)

DH has to pay it. Ok, fine. The hearing was by phone in the middle of our out of state move. Within a couple of weeks, they had taken the f'n $$$ out of our checking account. Ok, first of all, we hadn't even GOTTEN a copy of the damn order yet, and they were garnishing our bank account, but whatever...

Good heavens!!

Tired, cranky, and this stuff is getting OLD.

One of my blogs that never made it up was all about DH texting SD and telling her how sorry he is for being a terrible father, and how all he wanted was her happiness, and he tried to give her the space she wanted...blah, blah, f'n blah.

It's all BS, of course. HE was the one who drove all over the damn state for her volleyball. BM sure as hell wouldn't do that. HE was the one who took her shopping, allowed her shitty ass adult BF around to "give him a chance," whatever.

Dear Amy today... boy, does THIS sound familiar!

Dear Amy: I recently got engaged to "Carol," who will eventually be stepmother to my 9-year-old son. We are madly in love but want to take our time setting a date. We're not in a rush, and no one is pushing us, except my ex-wife.

On Saturdays she insists on making herself at home in our kitchen when she drops off our son for the weekend. We're friendly, but then she'll start butting into my personal business. For instance, recently she insisted that we shouldn't wait to get married.

Hey, honey... come here...

DH says to me last night.

(SD19, unmarried, with fast food job is preggers for those of you just joining.)

SD's ultrasound pics all over FB, everyone congratulating her, DH is oohing and ahhhing, and SS is cackling about how excited he is to be an uncle.

Grr.

I have them all blocked on FB for a reason. I don't want any part of their stupidity. I don't have any of DH's family (guess that makes them my family, too??) friended on FB because I never know about that "friends of friends" thing. I figure, out of sight, out of mind.

And it continues... SD and DH and me biting my tongue...

In the blogs that have vanished, I'd been chronicling the new adventures of DH and the recently preggers SD19.

Today, SD managed to move her broken, tired little fingers enough to text DH a "happy thanksgiving."
You'd think she'd apologized for all her shitty behavior and told DH what and awesome father he was the way he lit up and carried on about it.

"She's trying. She's trying realllly hard to make our relationship better."
Sigh. No, honey, it's Christmastime, so she's trolling for gifts. OH, and she's preggers, so...yeah, she's trolling for gifts/money.
