In 5 days we leave town for our wedding/vacation. In 11 days we'll be married. So far, no big BM blow ups, in fact, she actually agreed to swap some time so we can get out of town early. Not sure why she's being so "nice".
I'm finally getting excited. Skids are so excited, I suspect both BM and in-laws are SICK and TIRED of hearing the kids go on and on and on about how they can't wait to leave town and have the wedding.
Here's my latest dilemma: BM told ss to "have XXXXX take some photos of you in your tux and send them to me"
When school starts back on the first day in August I will be a dorm counselor! It's a the deaf school here in town. The kids live there during the week and go home on the weekends. I'll be working from 10pm till 8am. So DH will have to deal with the Skids! Hahaha!! Then I'll come home and go to bed while the hellions are at school. I will however have to watch them till 6pm when DH get home. I'll also only be working four nights a week! Also I'll still be a substitute school bus driver for the county. That's only once or twice a month.
Well im in need of a lil advice. for ss11 bday we got him a prepaid cell phone bc his 11 yr old sister has one and he really wanted one. But we made him sign a contract stating that he had to do chorus to keep it as well as ohter things like his attitude and behavior. So DF and I are having a hard time coming to an agreement on what he should have to do.
DH and I have been married for over 4 years now. We are still very much in love and happy. He is not so much the frustration. It is his daughters, my SD (2). They are twins and age 11. One of them is usually respectful, obediant and does not cause much trouble AT our home. I am not sure of her innocence away from our home. The other twin is borderline evil. DH and I dated for a year or so before we got married and things were great, even after marriage things were fine. SD hated mom, didn't want to go home, etc. Things with MIL and whole IL family was good.
Ouch! I was SO frustrated with him and I feel like all my love has been beaten out of me and all I have left is anger and resentment. He is out of town, has been for 2 days...won't be back for another 4...he was boarding a plane...we were arguing...he said sarcastically 'I'm going to let you go now, '...just dripping with anger...and it just slipped out! I said, "I hate you!" and hung up the phone. I don't know what to do. He is on the plane now...and I won't see him for days...and he has an AWFUL temper as it is!!! He will probably never forgive me. He may even want a divorce.
Well, I spoke to my MIL the other day, and she had a really good visit w/ skids, and told me that BM's DH is gone, and she is definatly alone now. Well no surprise to me really, but for some reason, (no for a immature reason on my part...yeah I admit it!) I was happy to hear it. I think it's because BM used to force their relationship down our throats.....constantly telling us how "great their lives are", & "that her DH was a real man", and went on and on about their sex life that it got rediculious.
picture it...st. louis. 630 am. FH and i are lying in bed trying to wake up, kissing and snuggling like we always do when lo and behold...text msg on his cell! now, who do u think this is from?? its a visitation weekend w SD so naturally its the nutcase. she feels its important to text at 630 to tell him that she is staying home w SD today. so he will be picking her up from her house instead of daycare i suppose.
I know I just blogged about us letting go but I am soooo mad!! See, SD is supposed to be coming back to us on Sunday. Last week it was confirmed that she would be driven down to meet us by her step dad and then as of yesterday they are flying her. Great...really doesn't change the gas and miles for us either way. We have to drive 3 1/2 hours to the airport anyway. So BM sends the flight arrangements to DH today. She booked her on a flight that doesn't get in until 6pm.
We have been contemplating whether or not we want to take on the challenge of going for a change in custody. In this process we have been focusing a lot of attention on getting documentation. Each time we see something our heads spin. BM has been lying much more than we even thought. She believes her lies and them stumbles when questioned about them. I told DH to stop hiding what records that he has because in my mind they are facts and she can't change facts. Well, BM took SD to a psychiatrist. (Dr.
OK I took some advice that I received here about answering the phone when BM calls to get her to strat calling less. Maybe today wasn't the day to start!
