Did hell freeze over? I didn't see it on the news.

Came home from work today. Was chatting with DH:

Me - Where is SD12?
DH - In her room cleaning. I told her she couldn't go volleyball practice unless she gets her room clean. I have asked her multiple times. Go look, it is a pit.
Me - I've seen it, month old dirty dishes, clothes everywhere.
DH - I guess this is what I will have to do from now on, take away privileges.

SD12 comes up the stairs:

One step forward... well you know it goes.

I walk in the door and SD12 has her school crap all over the computer desk and the surrounding area. DH and I need to do a little online bill pay and banking. When we finish, he asked her to pick up her mess! Probably, Just because it impacts him, as he will be gaming online later tonight. But oh well, he asked her to pick up after herself. It is a start.

Silly BM, your tricks are for kids!

Checked DH's email tonight. BM sent him several emails 2 days ago with baby pics of SD12 and him. Her "all time favorite" is a pic of him shirtless laying in bed reading to SD as a baby. Really? Keep in mind this is the woman who emailed him the morning of our wedding saying that it was a sad day for her because now she can never have the family with him and their daughter that God had intended. That she never went through on any of her engagements (there were 3) because they just weren't him and she loves him and always will. And she doesn't know why she never took him back.

Disengaging fail

I'm disengaged from sd12, so somebody please tell me why I am currently sitting in a school parking lot waiting for volleyball practice to end. Because I'm week I guess, or just a peace keeper tired of arguing with her husband. least he promised he would clean the kitchen while I was gone. And I got to smoke a cigs, hubs still doesn't know I started again.

Just got home, kitchen and dining room are spotless!

I guess I really do know something about parenting!

SD12 got an iPhone from BM 2 Christmas' ago. I started seeing her become obsessed with it early on and it has only gotten worse with time. What is funny is that she has that thing attached to her hand 95% of the time, the other 5% happens to be when BM or DH are trying to get ahold of her.

DH's texting habits

So I'm sitting here at work waiting for any word on how SD12 is doing at her volleyball tournament. They have been there 5 hours and not one text with an update. So I text DH and ask him how things are going. 10 min later... waiting for a response. 20 min... nothing yet. 30 min later... still nothing. He keeps that damn thing glued to his hand, so now I'm getting pissed. BM wasn't at the volleyball tournament last weekend for part of the time but she kept texting him asking for updates, like constantly texting him.

Something is definitely up with BM

We have had SD11 since Tuesday, which is 3 days longer than we were supposed to have her. Normally, after 2 days of not seeing her, BM is all over SD, "Mommy missed you so much!" "I was so lonely without you!" Gag me with a spoon! Anyways, Thursday she asked us to keep her because she wasn't feeling well. Friday, it was can SD11 come to your house and I can pick her up later, unless you want her. SD11 ended up staying the night. Saturday, I don't know that we heard from her much yesterday, but SD11 had a birthday party/sleepover.

Entitlement Issues

Haven't been on here in a while and couldn't log into my account, it didn't recognize my email/screen name so I created a new one. I need an outlet. I need sane people. I need people who have been there and done that. So, I'm blogging and I'm going to try to do it regularly, I need to let some of this stuff out. DH is great most of the time, but he gets defensive, even when he knows I'm right, and it causes drama at home. So, you guys are it for me. Here is my first one:
