Jon & Kate :(

I'm so sad about Jon & Kate. I didn't get to watch the show, but I was so sad to read it.

But I've seen it coming for a long time. Things have just been going downhill for so long and everything has just taken its toll on them.

I hope they'll act like adults for the sake of the kids, both during this time and when (or if) they marry others. I don't know if those kids know, but let's all pray for the kids!

Mom knows best

On Father's Day FH and I went to pick up SD3 in the morning. Once we got there BM was so bitchy about the date and time of my sister's wedding (she had already told us that we would not have SD that day since it is during her week). I didn't appreciate the tone that she took about it and the way that she referred to me as "her", not by my name or by actually addressing me since I was RIGHT there. After a few questions we realized she was trying to ask us to switch her days, BM's mom's birthday is this Saturday so in exchange for that we would get SD for my sister's wedding.

There is nothing like guilt parenting. (Long Vent)

So, our Father's Day weekend started with me going up Friday evening after work to retrieve the SS's an hour and 15 minutes away and then driving them back to our home (another hour and 15 minutes). They, of course, are asking for the first 20 minutes of the trip "What are we doing this weekend?", "Where are we going?", "Can we go to the store because I want to buy X,Y,Z?" All of this is indicating that we need to do something or buy something to entertain them. It makes me tense when someone else wants to spend my money for me:-).

Your Thoughts on this act of pure PSYCHOTICNESS...

Well DH hadn't talked to SS for going on 3 weeks as BM's phone has been disconnected.

BM "finally" called from someone's phone and asked DH if he is coming to get SS this weekend and he said yes- he would pick him up Sat @ 1p.m.[Amazing how she can use a phone when she wants to get rid of SS]

Coming to the house Sat. was like a carnival ride, another "random" guy answered the door when DH went to knock and the guy must have had children/a child himself because a 3/4 year old came out on the porch while we were waiting.

Need objective and honest opinions

After speaking to my therapist on Saturday about my jealousy issues, one thing she made me understand is that some of my issues could be jealousy, but some could be genuine concern with an inappropriate situation. She said when I am facing a situation that makes me feel "jealous" to step back and observe it from an "outsider's" point of view. For example, SD8 stroking FH's chest hair while sitting on his lap on the couch...if I were a neighbor or a family friend, would I feel uncomfortable seeing this?

Things are quiet - Ut Oh!!!!!!

Well, we just had the first of our 2 week summer visits with SD. We had a blast - bought sd a new bike (with helmet and elbow/knee pad) taught her how to ride it, did a couple of pool outings, beach outing, arcade, etc. It was a fun time. DH took sd to a Father Daughter dance - so we purchased her a new dress and did her hair and nails.

BM had told me not to comb or wash her hair for the 2 weeks as i may mess it up or use something to break her out.
