A funny story to lighten up the day

This past Saturday I was out with my girlfriends at a nice hotel - laying out and about to visit the spa. DH calls and asks if SD9 can have a lizard (they were at the pet store) and I said "Hell No!" These type of pets give me the creeps (if that's your thing, go for it, just not for me) and the one dog we have is plenty.

So, SD9 calls BM and she says 'OF COURSE, you can have the lizard at MY house'. What.Ev.Er

Gosh what a mess. Ok so BM2 has bed bugs again. the last time she had bed bugs DH paid to get her mobile home heated re-carpeted and refurnished and to get all of her and SS10's clothes dry cleaned and sealed. All of that came out of our pockets which is the first annoying thing but we had to so that SS10 could have a place to sleep because they live in another state. So now the bed bugs have returned. SS10 was suppose to catch a plane home on Friday. But BM says he can't go home because of the bed bugs.

Finally admitting the painfully obvious out loud...

FDH and I had a pretty heated discussion last week. I contemplate going to stay with my folks, basically let the house and all of the debt go, and put my life back together for myself and the Bios. The stress over these last two years has been so heavy and I'm so drained. So he says he just has to believe in his heart that things will not always be like this and he has to believe we will be able to have our wedding and start our life...which at this point is just a nice thought. I finally said the one thing I never had:

Just called BM Kraken to DH

Oops. After reading over the favorite names and sayings on this site I answered a call from DH asking if I was ok with SD15 coming over again this weekend. I blurted out "I guess the Kraken doesn't need a babysitter for this weekend". Lucky for me then DH started with "Release the Kraken!!" and we giggled.

Thankful that we both have a good sense of humor!

1. DH exists.

2. We (stepmoms) exist.

3. The legal system does not revolve around her.

4. The world does not revolve around her.

5. "Her" child has fun, any kind of fun without her.

6. Do not engage her, or communicate with her on "her" terms.

7. Stick to the CO.

8. Take a vacation with your wife and family...ever.

9. Buy something, anything with your wife(house, furniture, car, pet), without BM's consent or consultation.

10. Procreate with "her" husband (obviously her ex-husband but some CAN'T seem to let go).

Ever feel like "evil SM" when you would have done the same to bio kids?

There are a few examples, but today was just a small one. The kids all woke me up at 8 and of course were wanting breakfast right away. I am the type of person who takes about thirty minutes to fully wake up tho. I told the kids I would make breakfast if they wanted but to just wait a few minutes. SS6 and SD5 decided they just couldn't wait until 8:30 so they started making eggo waffles. I asked them if they were sure because I wasn't going to give them two breakfasts. BS6 also told SS that he probably shouldn't eat now because a home made breakfast would be better.
