frustrated

i'm not even going to start from the beginning. i have no time, nor energy. needless to say today is another day of the blahs. every since DH won full legal and physical custody of the kids, the stress of fighting that horrid BM has subsided a bit and i have had more time to dwell on the reality of our new lives.

BM DOING THE DISHES IN THE BATHTUB, I THINK I WIN!!!!

My SS told me about his moms new apartment the other day when he was talking about his aunts new apartment. My SS told me his aunts new apartment is a castle, SS is 5, I am assuming that it is bigger than his moms new apartment. Then he told me that you have to put your head next to the door to talk on the phone or there is no service and that he lives in the basement with people who live upstairs.

I wish I didn't feel this way

My SS17 (almost 18) has been back from his grandmother's for about two weeks now and the stress and tension are back too. I wish I didn't feel like this. When SS was away, it was like a whole different atmosphere around here. Relaxed, not feeling like someone is lurking around which is something my SS does. I know his mother died and I, as well as numerous other people, have tried to help him in so many ways. He just refuses to even listen. We have tried counseling. He won't talk.

Annoyed

So, I'm annoyed for no reason right now... I'm just annoyed..and what better place to share this than here...

My SS7.5 has been on holidays with his mom for 2 weeks, (in a different province), and will be spending another 2 weeks there with his Grandmother (DH's mother). I'm ecstatic about this of course, because I am so enjoying the month off from being a stepmother. SS called on Sunday because he misses his dad, I get this... and then he calls last night again..because he misses his dad... ok.. but it's the conversation I think that just annoys me..

My husband was right!

BM is insinuating that my husband is not SD8's father!

She has sent him numerous emails, including one to his work email, which she has never done before. She's desperate for attention. One of the emails asked him why he won't talk to her on the phone & she said, "this is more important than you may realize". Another email asks for his blood type. Hmmmm...so she hasn't come out & said it yet, but it sure is sounding like my husband's suspicions were right.

on pins and needles - relocation and placement

I'm anxiously waiting to see if I get a second interview for my dream job, which will not only be more financially rewarding, but will also force some much needed changes with the skids. The job would require a move about an hour away. Right now we have the skids 50/50 on an every other day schedule. BM also insists on dropping them off at our house at 6:30am on our mornings school or not so she can get to work. So on school days she drops the kids off only for us to have to get them ready for school.

What a great morning!

I slept on the couch last night. DH and I have been arguing about the skids lately. We had a major blow out with SS15 on Sunday, and DH has refused to talk to me about it. Last night, he promised our son, newly turned 8!, they would play Legos, but SS15 called and needed DH, so DH took off without telling me.

SS15 is staying with friends for a few days while we work some things out regarding his blow up. Seems kinda like a reward, but heh, he's not in my house right now.

But we can't work it out if DH wont' talk.

Welcome to my life....

I suppose i will start at the beginning... Please beware as this is ridiculously long!!

I met the BF at work. We have separate enough positions that this seems to work out ok for us. Our relationship is amazing. We are best friends and can share anything. He has always been extremely supportive and understanding throughout our entire relationship. I am in love with this man.
