So, after all my being upset on Saturday morning about not getting a break and needing my dh to come home and help.. well.. I got my wish..

So, he got home in the late afternoon on Saturday, tells me great news.. I have tomorrow off! I was estatic. Finally, I can have some help, I can probably even sleep late!!

I find it funny truant calls DH a loset because "her mom has 2 other kids to support and DH won't send her extra money and she NEEDS school clothes", yet skid's sister got tickets to see Justin Bieber just a couple of months ago, now her sister writes on myspace "my mom got me a bunch of Hollister shirts-mood spoiled"...meanwhile in the last 6mos i have only bought 3usd tank topa for myself at walmart and the same for our son! All of BMs kids have cell phones, dress in brand ñame clothes, the girls get their hair dyed and cut professionally and DH is a loser?

The is just to let you all know how the weekend went after DH made it clear to BM that she has no control over the rules at our house.

DH came home from work Friday and after some arguing back and forth, he insisted on taking our 2yo to an out of state graduation party for his niece. I joined with our 3 mo. old.

We drove all night and arrived at 4 a.m. We were exhausted.

The next morning, DH got a call from SD saying that she needed somewhere to go until the party began (party started at 4 p.m.). None of DH's relatives were home, so she came to DH's parents' house, where we were staying.

A cop rolled up to the house on Friday asking to see SS and to make sure he was clean/fed/looked ok and if there was food in our fridge!
WHAT?! He said he was called by CPS to come and check on the child.
We know it was BM because we have had welfare checks done on her in the past, but only after her keeping SS from DH for weeks and one time, months at a time.

How can we stop this insanity!

The cop knew what kind of situation it was once we showed him the court order/guardian report, but just told us to "be careful" and that the truth will always prevail.

This is a converstaion my dh had with ss14. Ss14 is in the kitchen making him a glass of tea. Dh was on his way out the back door from the kitchen. I was coming out of our room next to the kitchen.

DH and I have been married for a year and a half. We've known eachother for years. We were dealt some tough hands after our marriage but finally seemed to be at a perfect spot and blending our 4 kiddos (2 are mine, 2 are his) nicely. We were taking care of some legal issues, finding our places in our home, working out the kinks and the past weeks especially have been AMAZING....and then tonight it was all shot to heck in a split second.

I wish today was something new of but of course not.

This is a good thing! insert MASSIVE eye roll..... my gawd, she's 18 and hasn't showered in THREE days. I just got home from the lake to hear her in the shower......'bout damn time! What is wrong with teens that dont like to shower???? I dont understand it!

This is sort of off the regular topics of Step Talk but my dear wife retired as a church organist today. She is 60 and has been playing the organ in church for about 50 years (fifty years!) I could never stick with anything that long!! She started turning pages for nuns when she was 7. She's played in a lot of churches over the years and probably married and buried over 500-1000 people.
