Hi fellow Step Monsters! An opportunity came across my email today for a different job. Only 40 hour work weeks with ability to work from home sometimes, zero traveling (I am traveling to around 3-4 different states each week now)and way more of a work/life balance.

The only caveat: 15,000 pay cut. Ouch. They did say that obviously as the company revenue increases as they plan in 2018 they can afford to offer me a raise.

Between hate texts from a belligerent BM all morning (latent reaction to say the least and at this point I am fully convinced she has to be bipolar) and yes she is now blocked.. and finding out that I don't get that job that only requested half a dozen interviews I took time out of my current work schedule for. Ugh don't ya hate it when you get hit from all sides?

Today is one of those days you want to fake your death, move to Mexico and live off of Tequila and Tacos.

Now.. where did I put that tequila...

Ok as steps we have those "those events" that we want to be at for the sake of the kid, cause they asked, but you know you would rather nail your tongue to a table and pour salt on the wound than show up. The 22nd is SS's 7th bday. We are going of course, BM actually made a point to say to DH that "she"(meaning me) could come. The first part will be for the kids at a laser tag place.. then we are all going to BM's house for cake and presents. DH's family does not live around here so it will pretty much be just DH and I with the following:
1. BM (obviously)

So BM agreed to court mediation to review CS after our lawyer requested to go back to court and she can't afford it. When she first got the letter she went all Crazy Town like we anticipated and finally agreed to mediation instead of court.
