I'm debating with myself on what to do and need some input.

A month ago, BM1 send a mass email including DH about her and SD's involvement in a breast cancer walk that is taking place this coming weekend. I wanted to support SD so I put $25 in an envelope and DH gave it to BM1 during SD exchange. No big deal, right?

I am as disengaged and it pisses the hell out of her. I bought all of the kids alarm clocks 2 yrs ago and told them it is a must that they all start waking themselves up. SD, of course, will not listen to me and do as i say so she didn't use it. She wakes up when she hears her brother, every effin day. Tuesday she had had enough of my and dh not fighting so she stirs her little witchy pot and asks DH to tell me to wake her up or get her another alarm clock. I took alarm clock out of her room cuz it was peeling the paint off of the stand it was on and she WASNT using it.

It's my day off! SD14 goes to BM's tonight so no school pickup right in the middle of the afternoon and maybe DH and I might actually have a couple of hours to ourselves this evening. Now that the honeymoon period has worn off when the change in SD's behaviour was a huge relief I have been having some adjustment issues getting used to the idea of having her here all the time. I miss my week off. However SD is back at school, is still behaving well, and has started counselling, which is a big relief. Now I don't feel like I am carrying so much of the weight of her issues on my shoulders.

What the hell did I just eat for lunch?

I ordered some chicken thing that was cooked in some Chinese style that I can not even come close to pronouncing.

When it arrived at my table it was on a giant plate and was a huge mound of chopped red dry Asian peppers mixed with a little sautéed green onion, a small amount of "chicken" that was cut complete with little bones and some seasoning that looked like little hand grenade shaped seed pods that tasted a little like licorice. The meat was pan fried without batter.

It had a hot, tingly flavor on my tongue and made my mouth and face numb.

Like mother, like daughter!

Yesturday SD10 tells me her Nana(BM's mom} told SD & SS6, "Why did you hug & kiss the three cows?" (meaning my BF, his older sister & myself) That stupid old hag!!!

I am a 43 year old mother of 2 and I have two adult step children. One is 25 and supports herself. The other is 20 and has never supported himself. He has a criminal rap sheet since he was a juvenile. He lived with my husband and me from the age of 5 until he was around 12. His mother was mostly absent. But, at the age of 12, he decided that he didn't like "rules" anymore and went to live with his mother. He stayed in trouble with the law. Did poorly in school. He was in and out of boarding schools.
