BTW, with the blizzard coming, I told Loghead we would eat the calf if necessary! LOL

If you need me, I'll be at home. With Loghead, Gibby and the skids. For at least the next 4 days. That big purple streak on the weather map you see right in the middle of Missouri? That's me. We're expecting about 20 inches of snow.

Yes I know but really she is driving me bonkers! Ok she is a very nervous person I can handle that. But she gets her feelings hurt by EVERY friggen thing we say or do! Example we were visiting them (us AR them Tx) and dh's dad drives a truck and he was on the road. Well we have a fiend that lives there too and we were actually staying at his house b/c I can't sleep at their house as she keeps her lights on at night and even though they have 3 bed rooms she refuses to let us sleep in one! Ok fine I handle that too which is why we don't sleep at their house.

DH let skid#1 have her door back last evening. She is one happy teen girl. She was told if she ever slammed it again it was gone and would not be rehung until after she moved out. Currently she is shutting it so softly you can not even hear the click of the latch engaging LOL.

We were thinking about getting SD a cell phone maybe for Christmas this coming year. She is 12 now. The only thing we have an issue with is the fact that everytime SD12 gets mad at someone in the house or doesn't get her way she wants to call her BM and tattle(if you will). Using the home phone she asks to use it. When these issues have come up in the past I've told her.....you may use the phone to call and talk to your mom but you will not use it to tell on your brother or cry about not getting your way or when you think things aren't fair.

some of you have read my other post but i have a major quandary. i have disengaged from the bm because i truly hate her, but i wonder if that is the right thing to do. she is a horrible person and drives me up a wall, but maybe i should be calling her on her behavior. do i have the right to tell her what i think?

So when I moved in with FDH and SS and SD there were two cats and a dog. I HATE cats and never had a dog before. The dog barks constantly but since we bought him a bark collar, I can deal with that. One of the cats used to piss and shit everywhere and then went outside and got hit by a car. Call me a terrible person, but I wasn't a bit sad. Now the other cat has picked up where the first cat left off and my house smells like cat piss and I am constantly checking the corners for "presents." Have I mentioned that I HATE CATS?

Without details that are too personal, the past week has been one of the shittiest weeks in a long time for me. I have continued to stay away from my exbf, despite the extreme amount of stress I've been under and the vulnerability it has caused me. He's contacted me, tried to lure me with gifts...but I've managed to hold my ground.

I just want to know who else is ready to yell out a window like in Network and say, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore?" Seriously, there has GOT to be something better out there for 99% of us.

This may be a little off the subject but I'm being stalked at work and have been for about a year and a half. I just need to vent about it and maybe get a little advise.

It started in the summer of last year. I was out on our smokers patio talking with a coworker about needing to get my breaks changed. He over heard me and offered to do it for free as long as I paid for the breaks. I didn't see anything wrong with this. I had talked to him numerous times and being a single mother it would save me some money.

So my fiance and I started dating about 4 and 1/2 years ago and have been living together for 3 years now. We have a total of 3 children, 13yr. M; 10yr. F; and a 1yr. M; the 1 yr old is ours together. I knew upon making the decision to share a household as a whole family all the time was going to be a challenge but WOW. Everything is just spiriling slowly out of control. The two older kids were not raised how I would have raised my kids at all nor how my Fiance would have raised them either but they did have 2 parents that shared time 50/50.
