FIDS-
CAN FLY THEIR FOOD AROUND THE HOUSE

CAN CHEW THE TOPS OF THE DOORS (cabinets, too)

MUCH BETTER AT BEING ON TIME FOR DINNER, PREFER TO SIT ON THE EDGE OF YOUR PLATE

GENERALLY PUT THEMSELVES TO BED, THEN SHRIEK UNTIL YOU SHUT THE TV

WILL GET IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT WITH THEIR OWN OPINION

CAN GET IN CEREAL BOXES

CAN ANSWER BACK, OFTEN IN ENGLISH

DON'T APPRECIATE GEESE, HAWKS, OR THE NEIGHBORS LAZY CAT ON THE FRONT LAWN

LIKE A GOOD SNUGGLE UNDER THE COVERS

I just saw a tree topper that is made out of peacock feathers!!! I have a bunch that I got from dh's grand fathers house. I thought since we are adding the green that dh wants with my purple and gold that why not go all out and make it super fun! what do ya thank???

I had my husband cremated. It was my decision, but his parent's paid for it. There was no way I could have ever afforded ANY kind of anything. I have his ashes still. The plan was that someday, I would spread them up in the mountains at our favorite camping spot. I'm not sure when 'someday' will be. Definitely not before the baby is born. Probably when I can NOT have a panic attack at the thought of loosing one more piece of him. Who knows when that will be...

I am pregnant! I had my first ultrasound yesterday and I could see its little heartbeat. I have to admit that while I am insanely excited I am very worried about how things will work out with SD and DH and I with a new baby. SD is very self centered and narcistic. Although she has not physically injured another child at school or daycare in months so I am hopeful. At least DH and I have finally gotten on the same page about SD's discipline and a schedule. Wish me luck!

Just ran DH's credit report....BM used his name for phone and internet service at her home without his permission. This happened in 2008, he moved out 2002 and they were divorced in 2004. According to divorce settlement all utilities, were not suppose to be in DH's name. This bill was sent to collections in 2009 for $251. WHAT NERVE??!!

I find myself lately being seriously wary when I think about me and DH having kids of our own. I deffinately want kids, it's something I've always previously looked fondly at and forward to. Lately, though, when we talk about having kids in a couple years, I'm not as excited as I used to be because I have soooo many negative thoughts going through my head of the b.s. I will have to deal with in regards to DH already having a kid.

I am so angry right now!!!! I am completely out of patients which for me is very unusual. I am normally the most patient, mellow, happy, and understanding person you will ever meet. But NOT right now!! My H's ex is using their children to try and manipulate him and cause trouble for the whole family. Not unusual or uncommon, I am sure. I have five other children and she is trying to say that my four (we have one together) are picking on and make sexual advances on her three. (SICK SICK SICK!!) It is one thing to attack me or even to attack my husband but to attack my children...

Hello friends.

Okay so I can complain with the best of them and I have my fair share of problems but after reading some of the blogs and forums I think I am lucky.
I really like my SK's. Do they drive me crazy, occasionally, are they sometimes rude, yes, but they try in school and don't drink much,don't do drugs (that i am aware of), no stealing, so I think that is pretty good right.

Lastnight DH was supposed to get SD for his 2 hour visit from 6-8PM. He gets a text at 430PM from BMs father saying theyre having car trouble again and wants DH to drive 45 minutes to their office to get SD. DH has done this in the past, but now theyre taking advantage of it. DH said no, it's not in my plans or budget to drive all the way there and back. DH gets a call from BMs father asking why he can't come get SD, DH explains again that it's not in his plans or budget this week. BMs father says well I have no options, DH tells him that actually, he does.
