New custody! Just kidding.
Today is the first day of our new 50/50 custody agreement! Skids go by their mom for the whole week instead of staying by us until Thursday like usual! Happy day! Except, guess who is currently at my home, and not at Crazy’s? Ding ding ding! Skids! This dumb box has already managed to ruin what was supposed to be the first blissful, skid-free week. We had them all last week. She wanted 50/50 soooo bad, because “my kids”. They agreed to it last week in mediation, including it starting today. It’s in writing! I overheard her FaceTiming with SD10 Fri night, saying “guess what baby girl!

The results are in!
Mediation is over: Starting today we now have skids 50/50 instead of 67/33. They come by us today and normally they would stay with us for 10 days, but with the new schedule they will come by us today and she will get them back after school next Monday and keep them until the following Monday morning. This is on a temporary trial basis which goes until January, at which point they will decide if it's working. My SO said Crazy was all quiet and out of it, she didn't say anything the whole time except that "the kids really want 50/50" and so does she".

Mediation today!
My SO has mediation with Crazy today and I am super anxious. She filed for 50/50, and after fully planning on fighting her on it, she has made our life such a nightmare the past few months he is tired and it sucked all the fight out of him, so he grudgingly decided to just agree to it. Really, the chances of him retaining the placement he has now (67%) are so slim, fighting it would just be dragging out the inevitable. Yes she is batshit crazy, but she has an apt! And can provide food! And really that's all that seems to matter these days.

Ditched
I can't seem to let this go, so I think I need to know if I'm overreacting.

Crazy pants
So Crazy (BM) took an office job in the Nursing home she works for. Before she was a CNA and made maybe $15/hr. She's actually held this job for about 2 years now, which is a huge improvement over her quitting every job within a week of being hired, or just not showing up period. She actually tried to quit this one too, but they begged her back. The other day my SO was talking about his friend who was buying a house with his gf- the friend was buying the house in his name only, even though he has been with his gf for 13yrs. GF has a daughter (SD18), and they just found out she is pregnant.

I just about lost my damn mind
SS’s bday was yesterday, he turned 13. Skids were at Crazy’s this wknd, so we celebrated tonight. SS had asked me if I would make his bday cake, he loves my baking and there is a specific cake he really loves. I was flattered that he asked, so I gladly made it yesterday. His Gma, Gpa, Aunt and Uncle were also coming over and I wanted SS to have a meal he liked (my SO is not much of a cook), so I decided to grill burgers, brats, and sides.

Thoughts?
Today on my way into work a female radio DJ was talking to her 2 male co-hosts about a 2nd date she had planned tonight. She hasn't dated much since her divorce, but now she is getting back out there. The date was to go bowling at 6pm. Her dilemma was, although it isn't her custody day, her 7yr old son has baseball practice tonight, which she usually goes to. She likes to go to be in control and see what her son is up to, not because she really wants to be supportive (her words). We're talking rec league PRACTICE, not even a school league.

OT- Oops
Today is my SO's birthday, and I remembered when FB showed me about 30 minutes ago. Whoops. To be fair, I thought it was tomorrow. I honestly didn't even know what today's date was. I passed my SO on the front sidewalk this morning as he was getting home from work and I was leaving for work- we said hi and kissed and that was it. I have since sent him a happy birthday message, and posted some cute pics of us on FB with a nice post (he's sleeping so won't even see it for a few hours). But-

Surviving a long skid wknd
Give the skids a 4 day wknd, they said. It will be great, they said!
It is not great!! I just want it to be over. I need these kids to go by Crazy’s for a few days. Today needs to be Thursday!!
My gripes about this wknd are only made possible by an Easter miracle occurring in our household- SS12 miraculously kicked his video game addiction for a few days, apparently so he could become my SO’s shadow, and drive me to drink. Which I did.
