So we had SS8 this weekend and it went pretty well. We picked him up at 6PM on Friday, took him to his boy scouting adventure Saturday, and just chilled out Sunday. His mom called at 4 asking if she could pick him up early because she was nearby and HALLELUJAH, DH said No, he'll be ready at 6. So at 6:10, BM comes to pick up SS. DH knew she was going to be pissy, but in her typical fashion, the calm before the storm we'll say, she acts fine at first until Monday (today) comes up.

Okay, so the SK's are officially here this weekend. I'm cool with it - we've been making small talk over the course of the evening, made some pretty good grub and dessert, etc. My BD2 likes to take car rides to go to sleep, so me and kids went for her nightly ride. We must've driven for an hour but the conversations that came out of it, I'm saying Say WHat? Come again?? I can't believe my ears!

These were the options DH was given by BM#2 about when he could get SS8 next Friday. To give some background, DH has been getting EOW visitation with SS since he was 2. It's always been every other Friday to Sunday, usually dropping off/picking up around 5PM. More background is that DH and I work 2 1/2 hours away from home. Occasionally we are permitted to work from home, and that has worked out the last couple times we had visitation, but next week is not looking to work out that way.

This is what came out of SS8's mouth as we're walking inside. I asked him why he said that and he says "because I get headaches from caffeine." I've heard of this before but in this situation, I believe a lot of this is based on information BM fed him to explain why he gets headaches. At one point, we were ready to send him to a neurologist to explain why he was getting them so much, but then DH and I took him to an optometrist, got him some glasses, and he's been fine. So now i want to say "Really? Gee, that's funny - did you get a headache after eating that chocolate bar?
