Am I worrying for nothing???

Well less than 2 hours until it's time to leave to pick SS & SD up for the weekend. Still haven't heard a word from BM....by phone or regular mail...of course, there's still time as DH doesn't get off work for another half an hour and I know that BM wouldn't call until she knows he's off work because the cell phone number that she has is mine....not that I'd answer if it were BM but it would go against her act of pretending I don't exist...LOL

SS hasn't been to school all week - a rant

First off, let me start off by saying that last week was Spring Break, so SS didn't go to school at all last week either. If you read my last blog, you saw that SS had an anxiety attack on Monday morning and his mom didn't make him go to school. Last night, BF was telling me that BM is dropping SS off today for visitation (which means that she's doing something recreational again this weekend...she never drops SS off unless it's on her way to go out of town). He then starts off with, "BM says that SS is still coughing and feeling puny..."

no visitation today! or for awhile!! yay!

when we went to court this wk my FH elected to not take visitation until the next court date at the end of the month bc he didnt want BM doing/saying anything in the meantime that could be used against us w the GAL. so the next potential day we would see SD is june. i am so happy!! no disengaging, no running away shopping from 530 til 8 bc i just cant deal w the whiny rude behavior, no DRAMA FROM THE BM, no having to see BM at exchanges, no fights about what FH did or didnt say to BM, no worrying about "do we have SD that day" when making plans...ahhhh. it feels like vacation!

Hypocrite!

My dh got his @ss chewed out by bm over the hair trims we got the skids for Easter weekend. Both skids were in dire need of a trim, as they had deadends. SS9 is trying to grow his hair out. DH explained to him that the hairdresser would leave the length.. just trim it up and make it neat. SS9 seemed ok w/the trim. BM called dh to tell her how upset ss9 was and how dare he cut/trim the skids hair.. and then went on to say some not so nice things about moi.

Not a step parent issue... just a vent

I am so pissed I can't stand it. Yesterday it hit me. I am having to use my CREDIT CARD to buy gas. I HATE using my credit card. All because ex hasn't paid support. We were supposed to go to court on the 13th. but it was postponed until 6/10. I was hoping to get some money this month. Ex only pays when he is in front of the judge. It is so frustrating. Ex is taking son to the coast this weekend... but hasn't paid anything in support since the last time we were in court.

I need some advice,

recently hubby had a heart attack, by all accounts, he has bounced back fairly well, BUT, he WAS a very active man and I think the forced slow down has made him even more depressed,I know that in these cases it is not uncommon to feel depressed, I finally (in desperation)called his Doctor, who said that he could mow the lawn,(riding mower) just don't drive or lift heavy things.

Am I wrong?

I'm having an issue with my SD. Lately she has been staying at our house due to her and her mother not getting along. I have been doing everything for her, taking her to school, to work and everything else that comes with a 17 year old. Well the last couple of days I have no been in a mood to cook dinner so yesterday we had sandwiches for dinner and today I figured since my SD was getting paid chancer were she was going out to eat with her boyfriend.
