I can't say "I told you so" at home so I'm going to say it here.

Last summer SO and Princess hammered out a deal where he'd have the whole summer in exchange for her getting what she wanted. I told him then that we'd never have his girls all summer. In January when she said we'd only get 4 weeks, I didn't say "I told you so" - I said "You're not going to get that. When she gets done you'll be lucky to have three weeks."

This weekend I had one of those WTF moments with BF where I wished I had a tape recorder handy.

What have I gotten myself into? Mostly kidding.... seriously, I cannot believe that I am raising a 2yo and 2mo, again. Wow, I had forgotten what it was like to operate on NO sleep and have your house look as though someone turned it upside down and shook it! This all has been sooo very trying, but I think in a good way, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

This weekend was BF's birthday. We had a great time despite BM texting him and leaving a B-day present using kids as an excuse. Needles to say I was upset. She tries all the time to come between BF and I. She is sneeky and uses the kids at every opportunity. I am so tired of it. So here is an email to BF I sent him. Your advice is greatly apprciated.

Everyone is doing better. ss was driving my car with his permit and rolled it with hubby and myself in the car last week.

We have week on week off custody of SS5 in the summer and this past week was S0's week.

BM has alienated herself from all of her friends and family, and is now no longer even talking to her "best friend." Her mom and her step dad are out of town because her step dad's mom is dying.

The one where Vanessa brings home the much older fiance and surprises the family by announcing that they are engaged and that he dropped out of school and works as a janitor...

Cliff made the analogy that Vanessa presented her boyfriend like a fine meal on trash can lid, that his dislike of the new beau was because of bad "presentation."

DH who has wanted to blame me for everything basically admitted that he knew what his son was doing. DH said "if you leave, SS will win and Im afraid he will do this again to someone else" DING DING DING, bells must have went off in his head finally!!! I looked at him and said "if he is going to do this to someone else, how is everything MY fault?" He couldn't answer me. I think DH finally realizes and I hope things change, I just won't be here to enjoy those changes.

This morning DH gets an email. Says that either she or SD will pick up SS11 at 8:30 AM. DH replied that: "Please send this type of e-mail by Saturday. I don't check my e-mail at 11 at night and if I need to get SS up by a certain time, I'll need to get him to bed earlier and let Jsmom know what the plan is. I get really busy at work at this time and for me to communicate this, I would have to wake everybody up by 7.

She obviously doesn't get the email and is at our door at 8:45. I answered the door and stepped outside.
