So, I've been super busy with work (7 days a week for a while here!) But recently, the Skids situation with BM has been bad. It started when school started. SD5's shot records were incorrect (I still think BM forged them) and the school was not going to let her start. We convinced them to let her start - we have 30 days to figure it out. FDH and I made an appointment for here at a reputable doctor's office to get checked out. So, on FDH's day off, he drove 2 hours to get SD5 from BMs She was dirty, hadn't bathed in several days, was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt (it was 80 degrees) and winter boots that were about 4 sizes too big. I got her cleaned up and in some decent clothes and had to go buy her shoes and get her to the doctor. We got that straightened out!.

While she's here, she tells us that she had dry cereal for breakfast b/c they don't have any milk. FDH confronted BM on this and BM said that she hasn't worked in over a week and so they had no bread or milk or really any food in the house.....SHE GOT HER $450 CHILD SUPPRT CHECK 5 DAYS AGO!!!! Where the HELL did that money go? She "works" for a company that we cannot find on the internet. Anyway, 2 days later, during a conversation with FDH, she tells him she is making herself a box of stuffing to eat because she is hungry but then laughing says that she doesn't know what she will feed the kids for supper! We would buy her groceries, except that we pay for EVERYTHING those kids do! Soccer, Football, Violin, Doctor's visits, school clothes, school supplies, etc.

Then, we get a letter from the school. Both SD8 and SD5 have been tardy 5 times in 9 weeks. The last time they were tardy, BM sent a note that they had a doctor's appointment. The school is not accepting it. (Thank god!).

Now all of a sudden BM wants to get professional pics of the kids and wants us to pay for half of it. We have an appointment for family/engagement photos in a month, so hells to the no! I did offer to give BM pics of the kids that we choose. It would be cheaper for her. She is crazy and psychotic and has put a pretty bad gag order on the kids - they never talk to me anymore - but we are trying to do things for her so that when we go for custody, she looks like shit.

I feel so bad for these kids! She gets herself a cell phone 4 days after telling us they have no food! WTF!?
