BM calls on saturday the 4th, asking to see ss2 and ss3. I already had plans to take them with me to my parents for the fourth of july thing going on down at my hometown on saturday the 5th. Well she calls DH at work and asks, he says thats fine. YES IT MADE ME MAD because of what happened the previous time she got them, and how upset she always seems! Well DH calls and tells me that he's going to let her take them for the evening on the 5th and that we will get them back sunday at 11am.

I see people here with situations alot worse that what we have going on but I still am so frustrated... The 15 year old problem step-son did apologize after the big blow up a few weeks ago but we just had him for the weekend for the first time since. It didn't start well because there was some mis-communication with my boyfriend (an honest mistake on both of our parts) and I didn't realize he was going to be with us. I was SO looking forward to a nice long weekend and then found out at 6:00 thursday night that he was coming. I really, really just don't want to be around him.

Well last week we had all hell break loose with SD11, this week we had our demon child forget all about how she behaved. For once DH did not forget and she was served a consequence. I was totally shocked! First he had a long talk with her (asked me to be present for that). She told him he had a temper, then I think she realized she did too. He explained the difference was he controlled his. He told her she would have a consequence, then I suggested she help come up with a consequence since she feels no control. She chose 7 days without playing with her friends.

I went to the store a minute ago and ran into one of the Elementary school teachers. She told me drama camp was going on at the park this week, here in town. Small town and everyone, no matter if they know us or not, knows we are broke. She invited the Skids to go to camp this week for FREE! Yeah!

So now I get my days to myself this week! Yeah me! All except Thursdat when SD12 has her court date.
