We get an email from BM this morning... confirming she will be on vacation next week, that we are to have SD from saturday to saturday (7 days) and that we are to meet her 1 hour away from our house for her to pick her back up next saturday at 10. HUH?

This is not my DH's year for spring break. Not only that (look back in old blogs) she claims we abuse the child, leave her in unsafe places, hit/beat the child, over medicate her, forgot her meds, we cause her to have nightmares, she hides clothes to keep from coming here for visits, and is unhappy while here........ These things are in the counseling intake form, affidavit and motion she file for us to go to court May 6.

Now she is giving DH an extra 7 days for the spring break visit two weeks from the court date. I am thinking she is really nuts and doesn't think it will come back up in court. However she put in the affidavit that she has no money for her lawyer, the child's needs and is asking for relief but sends in a email she will be in Baltimore for the week.

Well, I am excited. We are going to be taking our first "full" family vacation together. All members present. We are going to Myrtle Beach all week and will have a blast. I am going to make sure we take plenty of pics and videos (for court of course).

Even though she thinks she is getting over.. We will really enjoy this week. SD's bday party is saturday in NC - So we are picking her up there bringing her back here and have a birthday party/easter egg hunt here as well. Then spending Easter with both our families and then going to the beach for a week. . . . Nice.

She will probably get very upset that DH has her on vacation with me and my daughter as well, but whatever that is what families do. This will be sd's first vacation..... I am sure she will love it. Her mom (BM) has told DH that sd is not allowed to be around us since we are not authorized by her (neither is his mom or sister or my sister).

I can't wait to see what she comes up with now -after she finds out about that trip. I really think she thought if she sent sd to be with us/DH during this week. He would be stuck at home and not be able to go anywhere. My daughter's spring break is the same time... so it worked out perfectly.

Hell, we might drop sd back off in NC since it will be on our way back home to VA. That way we don't even have to see BM or give her a chance to let her attitude rub off on us.
