ok so our lawyer called today to let us know that BM filed an afidavid(not sure on spelling) to move to maryland in 16 months when shes done with school, apparently to be with some marine she meet, keep in mind she just told us that the guy she was seeing was cheating on her so we have no idea how long shes known this guy. So we live in iowa so maryland is a very long way away.

Skids are going to BM

for the summer. Perhaps she took my rant at Christmas time seriously. I am happy about it. Does this make me a bad person? DH doesn't want them to go but per court order she is allowd 30 consecutive days. He only wants them to go for 2 wks. OOH! Hell No!! I need a break. BM has never taken the kids for more than a week and once she even asked us to pay daycare. Skids continually say how wonderful BM is every other weekend. I can't wait to see how wonderful she is when she has to actually be a parent for 30 days.

SS6 and SS11 both had activities at the same time Thursday. It was our night with SSons so I offered to take SS6 to his activity. FH had to go to SS11’s activity since he had to sign forms for summer camp.

Well SS6 was not happy with this arrangement. He wanted FH to take him to his activity. FH and I explained to him that it wasn’t possible for FH to go to his activity. SS6 then said he wanted BM to take him. Well BM was working that evening and couldn’t take him either. I told him that he had 2 choices:

It's that Stab of Guilt

It just kills me sometimes. Today is my son's 10th birthday. He lives in Austin Tx. w/ his dad. Both of my kids do. I woke up today, and even though I sent him a card in the mail, I wanted to send one online for him today. I thought it would be a nice surprise. As I'm creating and sending the card....I feel this tremendous feeling of sorrow settle in on me. He is only 10...and so far away. The day he was born, I would have never guessed it would turn out like this.

About 9pm on Friday night, my neighbor across the street's son19 had a party in front of the house on the sidewalk and street. This party involved alcohol. They were obnoxious and loud and urinating all over the place (mind you, we live in a NICE area.. not the slums, and not the inner city!) As I have respect for my neighbors (not the 19 yr old), I let it go. I didnt call the cops. I did my best to ignore all this. We eventually went to bed.
