I have been gone for a while, but now I'm back. DH & I have been very busy lately. We have been doing some remodeling. Which we still are not done. So, I don't know how long I am back for. We started screening in our front porch. We have it almost done, but then the rainy weather had to start. Now we are all sick. I'm hoping that everyone is better by next weekend, so that we can complete our porch and then move onto building DH & I's bedroom.

We received some news the other day about SD's case. The next hearing is schedule for April. At this hearing SD's former SF will enter his plea (guilty, not guilty, or take the plea bargain). And lucky for us, SD doesn't have to be at this hearing. That takes alot of stress off of SD, by not having to be there. Now depending on what happens at that hearing, determines what happens next. If he pleads not guilty, then the case will be schedule for trial. Which will be sometime in May. We are hoping that he either pleads guilty or takes the plea bargain, for SD's sake.

During DH & BMs phone conversation last night, BM asked DH about BM flying SD15 up over Spring Break next month. And also stated that BM was going to also fly SD15s bf up to. DH & I had already discussed this flying thing and decided that with everything that SD15 has been through & done since she's been here, we are not allowing her to fly alone. And definitely not over Spring Break when that is not an agreed upon visit in the court order. And definitely not alone with SD15s bf. Well instead of DH telling BM this, he just says I'll let ya know.

SD15 got invited to a sleepover birthday party at a hotel room this Saturday. DH & I told SD15 no. Well SD15 wasn't happy with that and told BM about it, who is 1100 miles away and has no say in these type of decisions anymore since we have custody of SD15. Well BM called DH last night and started trying to convince DH into changing his mind about letting SD15 go. DH told BM it would be different if this girl's parents were not alcoholics & would be there the entire time. But since we can't guarantee that would happen, our answer is no.

Update to my current situation that caused my melt down 2 weeks ago

Well about 2 weeks ago I had a melt down. I felt much better after it happened and I think it made DH realize just how much he was relying on me to do everything. Since then, DH has really stepped up and has started to help me. Plus DH & I have been talking alot more and not just about bills, kids, or the house...we have actually been talking about us & things we would like to do or dreams we have. Plus DH & I have also been making alot more time for just the 2 of us. And when we have to go to the store or bank....DH & I go and leave SD15 & BS11 at home.

Has the BM you deal with ever done this???

I actually find this kind of funny. BM is currently going through the process of divorcing her SO. Well SD15 asked BM if she would ever get back together with my DH. BM told SD15 that it isn't an option b/c I am in the picture and that BM actually doesn't find my DH attractive anymore. Ok here comes the funny part.....I seen a picture of the guy BM is currently dating (even though less than a month ago BM stated she doesn't need a man). The guy BM is dating could pass as my DHs twin.

What would you do?

I had a meeting with 3 of BS11s teachers last Friday. BS11 has been lying to me, DH, his teachers, and the principal for a few weeks now. BS11 has not been doing homework, hasn't been turning in classroom assignments, and talking during class. As a result, he is failing 2 classes and almost a 3rd. During this meeting I found out that BS11s IEP teacher had a talk with BS11 2 days prior. BS11 never mentioned it to DH or I. I asked BS11s teachers if there is anything else that DH & I can do to get BS11 to do his work.

What a night....

I apologize now, b/c this is going to be long.

I believe that I waited to long to ask everyone for suggestions on how to relieve some, if not all of my stress that I have been under. I really liked some of the suggestions that were given to me and was really going to try some of them.

I need some suggestions

I haven't been a member here for very long and I really haven't posted much about the things I have to deal with on a daily basis. But I have come to a point in my life were I could really use some suggestions on what to do. I am the type of person who lets everything build up inside until I can't take it any longer and I feel as though I am at my breaking point.
