Feeling Blessed

I am definitely feeling blessed right now. FDH has been enforcing more and more discipline on the FSS's, now ages 14 and 16. He still sometimes treats my bios, age 11 and 13, as if they're older, but it isn't as frequent. We're getting the typical push-back from the FSS, especially the older one, who loves to ignore any adult who isn't saying what he wants to hear. My mantra is "I don't do favors for rude people", and that is what is getting me through this stage. That, and the fact that I know the FSS's are basically decent kids, who are unfortunately affected by their BM's PAS.

Survived the weekend

We took a quick weekend trip to Florida with all 4 boys and I am just glad I survived it. My two BS's, 10 and 12, were going to see their father for Thanksgiving, so we figured while we were down there, we'd take a quick trip to the beach for a day and a night. The negotiations actually began Friday night, as we discussed what time we needed to leave and what everyone needed to pack. As there were only 2 beds for 4 boys, we had to discuss the whole concept of sharing beds--FSS13 at first adamantly refused to share with anyone.
