I'm thinking about Xmas this year, and SD14. As I mentioned in my past blog, due to BM being pregnant, we were informed 3 days before Thanksgiving that it was our responsibility to get SD to and from her football game (cheerleading) on thanksgiving day, despite the fact it is less than 2 miles from the BMs house, and she had no plans. Anyway, b/c of that, FH and I opted to make thanksgiving dinner at our home (we weren't going to) have SD over weds night, and then back to our house after the game instead of to BMs.
Ive been busy blogging telling my story so I thought I would do a write up about the BD as Ive read so much about crazy BMs.
My SS calls Tuesday and informs us that his last final exam is on Wed after next and he would like for us to rebook his flight to fly home on Thus rather than Fri from boarding school. The posted finals schedule is clear that the kids can leave after their last final and that Thus is make up day for any missed finals or rescheduled tests.
SD13 turns 14 on the 22nd. Last weekend, H mentioned to me that she was having a swim party at a local motel for her birthday, and the party will be on the 6th. He said he told her he would not be able to go as will be working. He did not say a word about me. Or indicate I was involved, anything.
So, tonite SD13 calls. Are you coming to my party? (if you read my blog, this is a horrible weekend for me). I said, well, how does your mom feel about it? I don't want to go if she will be uncomfortable. SD says-moms ok with it.
Well she called my DH and wanted to make a deal we get SS Sun. -Tues and she gets him Wed. -Fri. and they switch Saturdays, on her sat. we pick SS on Sun at 6pm on our Sat.
Tomorrow brings the anniversary of the worst day I've lived thru.
And the physical symptoms are mimicking the emotional ones. So tomorrow I will go to my parents, and get us thru the day, again.
It's like a nitemare. It was a real life nightmare. Dec. 5th, 2005 is the day my dear aunt died. I grew up playing in her yard with my cousins. She and my mom used to spend summer afternoons together, with us kids. She and my mom took care of my Grandmother, together. She was beautiful.Physically beautiful, with a dimpled smile, a cute laugh. And she was beautiful inside as well.
I decided to make this a seperate entry rather than a reply on another.
My recent approach has been to distance myself from the situation. DW says I am always negative about SD13 so I have backed off on some things. Many things Ive learned to not worry about.
I only assert myself in areas of importance, or occasionally when I cant take excessive amounts of smaller items.
EXAMPLE: Recently we went away for a week. SD is extremely moody. Apparently its that time of month. (This lasts 3 weeks a month I think)
Second blog in a day! But I couldn't wait to share! BF called and let me know that SS got all A's on his progress report! He's gotten all A's so far this year. We're going to take him out this evening to celebrate when we both get off work!
I'm so proud of him. He's worked so hard this year on his schoolwork and his reading skills. He's improved so much! Just wanted to share this with everyone!
for christmas..I have no idea what this kid is into besides the hating of me and her father, telling lies one after another like its her job. I have 5 kids to buy for at christmas my two children and fhs 3 children. All are easy to buy for but her as usual the difficult one. If any of you have an 11 yr old stepdaughter whos going on 25 I would love to know what you got/getting them for christmas. I was thinking coal but here in Va, I really cant find any and plus I dont think my FH would like that very much }:)
Speaking of parties, BM is having SS's birthday party a couple weeks early this year so he and his cousin can have a joint birthday party. I think it's a good idea since he and his cousin are so close, and they'll have a good time.
