So BM showed up to the Halloween party just like I knew she would.

She came dressed in her 9 year old's costume from last year. Not only was she wearing the costume of a nine year old...she acted like one too. Actually I take that back, SD9 was much better behaved, BM acted like a drunk 39 year old.

Let's see, what is it that BM did? In no specific order of the night.....

So I went to court yesterday.

Recap for those who don't remember....my BS12's biodad left me when I was 17 and pregnant and resurfaced 2 years ago. He met my son at that time and has seen him twice since then. I had a hearing in May granting me full custody and now biodad is contesting it. My second final orders hearing was yesterday and biodad hired an attorney at the very last minute. He skipped out on mediation and my lawyer was confident that with or without a lawyer, we would be able to proceed being that biodad has willfully disregarded 2 hearings and mediation.

SD11 runs track this year. About a month ago when track started, her mom 'forgot' to turn in the proper paperwork even though BM had promised SD11 that she'd turned it in. Well obviously not so much becuase SD11 calls her dad HYSTERICALLY crying to see if he'd take care of it... which of course he did by calling BM and picking up the missing paperwork. Then BM made it a point to tell me her jaded version of the whole ordeal when I dropped off SD11 and how it was all SD11's fault. I just nodded my head, smiled, and got in my car and rolled my eyes. I don't even care.

How weird is this story?

So we were all at the park celebrating SD6's birthday. BM included. Well the sun was a shinin' and I noticed that SD9's back was starting to look pretty red even though the kids had lathered up in sunscreen a few hours earlier. Being that I didn't feel like setting down my margarita and gooping her up myself, I decided to let DH know and handle it.

SO the conversation went like this...
