*siigghhhs* There is no custody agreement between FH and BM. It's just we have the kids every weekend...and whenever else she just feels like bringing them over...Like when she just plans random trips with friends...or whatever. We get them. We don't complain. They are his kids and I love them like I would love my own if I had my own. However...sometimes...I need a break from the:

1. drama
2. the disagreements on how to raise the girls who are screwed up thanks to their mother moving them 9 times in one year...
3. the smart mouths
4. fmil taking 7 year old fsd to the dark side...

etc.

We have not had a free weekend since June.

I finally took everyone's advice and starting changing the girls' clothes as soon as they walk in the door. I wash their outfits they wore and their coats and I send them home the next afternoon in what they came in. And I always send home EVERYTHING they bring with them. This weekend was glorious. We had them 6 hours on Xmas day because BM was "tired" from her Xmas Eve celebration...Then we picked them up at noon the following day (after BM let fsd 7 call us four times to tell us to come get her) we were running errands...very annoying. And had them until FH went to work at 3 p.m. on Sunday. I sent their gameboys home with them they got for Xmas in their new Xmas backpacks...

At 6:00 p.m. Sunday night the phone rings...

fsd7 - screaming and bawling into the phone - I forgot my game boy...blllaahhh wwahhh!

me...Look in your backpack! I sent it home! Stop crying in my ear...

fsd7 - I did! Itt'sss nnoott thheerree! (screaming)

(She constantly loses things all the time and then wants to blame everyone else and thinks it will help things if she has an out of control Super Nanny type of explosion.)

Me: Put your mother on the phone.

BM: Yes?

Me: Did she look in her backpack? that is where it is...

BM: Yes, she did and it is not there!

in the background...Here it is! It was in my backpack - she must have put it down there so I couldn't see it!

Me: Good night! (Hangs up)

Ughh, sometimes I want to pull my hair out because people are so lazy and they are so quick to blame everyone else...

So..I am leaving for school for 3 weeks and I won't be able to come home on the weekends...which leaves me feeling homesick already just thinking about it. I'm premed so I have training/clinicals and I take the rest of my classes online. Last night FH calls BM to tell her we will not be getting the girls this weekend...she flipped. Basically said Yes we were? What? She told FH she hates to tell the girls that they won't see us? Uhh...- this will be the first time in months...she also tried to put on some guilt trip and say they like us better than her...he told her just to sign them over then and she hung up...real mature.

The update to this conversation will come later tonight when he calls out there again...

yyayyy!!!
