...but hers got me to thinking. I was raised in a large very close-knit family. DH's family is also very close, though he only has one sister. I am truly blessed with in-laws I love dearly...all of them. My SIL is like a sister to me. My MIL...I couldn't have hoped for better. We are all very close.

Gonna b!tch about exes for a minute or two

So last nite, 8 pm after getting homework, dinner fixed and cleaned up, baths done etc. BD6 is in jammies in bed watching her 15min of alloted disney channel before lights out.
BS16 is in his room right next to hers either doing homework or sleeping. I look in BD6's door and say "Im gonna run to the convienient store right behind our house and I will be right back. Your brother is in his room if u need anything".

My SO has a SD10 (sort of) of his own. She is not my SO's biological child but he has raised her since she was a toddler. SO has always introduced and completely considers her as his own. Things between SD10 and myself were difficult to say the least. She ease dropped, spied, lied and caused as much trouble as possible, conspiring with or manipulated by BM the entire time.

In Rememberance

On 10/13/1993 my father suddenly and unexpectedly past away. After 17 years this date is always a bit melancholy. It seems like a lot of people have lost loved ones recently and although I know that time really does heal all wounds and the pain will eventually start to subside for those people, I also know that the feeling of loss really never goes away.

my DH thinks a SM's love doesnt compare to a biological parents love

Finding ways to keep busy...

So I have two weeks of school left - which will get rid of some stress. And I am starting a CAREER soon - no more part-time jobs. My wonderful parents sat me down and basically told me they don't know where their daughter went. They want me to get out of that house as well as FH. They told me FMIL is creating a very unhealthy enviroment for me and I am not good at handling stress - it physcially takes a toll on me - like I will lose 20 pounds and then gain 30 back...if anyone looks at me the wrong way - I burst into tears. my anxiety is so bad I want to hide in a corner.

...and it starts

This is a normally scheduled weekend with SS8 - so why is it that this whole concept of established EOW visitation seems to be foreign to her although she's been doing it for the last 6 years.

So DH calls her to find out what is going on about this weekend and stupid BM schedules a house showing when she's supposed to be dropping off SS. Apparently, her sister and brother-in-law are flying in to look at possibly buying her old house and then they're going out to dinner, and then when they're done, she'll bring SS to us. Her "best estimate is between 8 and 9."
