So last night went good! Skids were outside waiting when thier bm pulled up. They got right into the car and left. I didn't have to see her in my house. Now waiting to see what happens when she brings them back tom nite!

Well, the kid signed his contract this morning. 72 days until we are empty nester DINKs.

He is also going to go for a 6yr initial enlistment rather than 4. With his military school experience that gets him E-3 out of basic and a larger signing bonus.

I think this is a great idea. 6yrs should just about get him caught up on the maturity curve.

question about claiming kids on taxes & contempt of court?

H got his final court order signed and approved by the judge today. In the CO says that parents will claim sd EOyear, this year being Bm's. H mentioned it to bm today and she said something about "not remembering it being there when she signed the agreement & was going to go back to court to have it changed" not honestly H said he doesnt care if he doesnt claim sd ever anyway, he was going to use that $$ to put in her savings acct anyway. BUT if he was to do it on the years he's entitled to; could bm try to fight it?

SM Rewards??? You decide!

Today I was having a happy friday when sd21 texts me and tells me she and her boyfriend are getting drunk at 10 am.

She calls me about 3 to let me know she was REALLy having a fun time finding all the alcohol in her house. (I asked her not to drive anywhere).

Later, while I am cooking dinner, she sends me a picture message.....of her PUKE!

So she calls me again and tells me that "at least that one was outside" then she said "remember those boots you got me for Christmas? I had to puke in one of them to save the carpet."

The case of the missing soup!

I bought my fav. soup and I went looking for it and couldn't find it. I know one of the kids ate it naming ss15. He loves the same kind I do. Anyway i didn't tell anyone that is was mine and not to eat it so I said I'd just buy some more. I told dh about it b/c at the time I was home with no car and wanted it for lunch. But I thought it was only a dollar so I'll get something else. then dh said I'm sorry you know who it was that ate it right? I said well it could have been any of the kids (trying to be nice) he said no it was ss15 I know he did it that little turd!

Need to Vent...

I have had SS 9 for 3.5 weeks now. 4 weeks ago or so he was diagnosed with Aspergers..as I keep saying in my blogs... His mother was stressed so left town for 2 weeks..and has been back for a week, but it's not 'her' week..so SS is with me. Today, SS was supposed to be picked up from school by his mother after lunch (half day). I asked him to call her last night to make sure, and she 'messed up', so cannot pick him up until 6pm tonight. Frig! I'm so tired of having him around!! I'm stressed too! So.. my original plan was to go home early Friday..pick up my daughter..hang out..

Oh darn BM, that's too bad you don't get to make up your own rules. Have fun getting audited!

BM claimed the skids on her taxes although DH has primary custody and they are with us two-thirds of the time. So, I mailed our paper return yesterday with the kids on it and I know it's going to take like six months to get it sorted out, but BM is in for a nasty surprise and I can't WAIT!

Fiance and BM are getting together tonight to have a discussion...oh boy.

This will be the first time since breaking up that the two have EVER sat down and discussed things -- 2.5 years of coparenting after the break-up and never a sit-down. Amazing, huh? DF has tried many times and the meetings always get cancelled or they end up on the phone, which leads to a fight with no resolution of issues.
