Family reactions to SD9's behavior this weekend...
I had a VERY interesting talk yesterday with my husband's stepmother. Apparently, she did notice SD9's behavior over the weekend & is not at all impressed. She said EXACTLY the same things I've been saying & agrees that my husband desperately needs to stand up to BM -- even if that means putting SD9 in an awkward position (BM will tell her everything & use her as a bargaining chip). He's giving BM her way now & look how SD9 is acting.

And now the exciting conclusion of my story...(with some nasty BM commentary!)
We drove almost 30 minutes to meet BM, who just walked right across the street from her boyfriend's place. (I'm sure BM thinks she's sooo clever for "tricking" us into this arrangement. She spends most of her time at her boyfriend's place, which is sort of the half way mark between where she now lives & where my husband works. So on weekends, we have to drive an extra 15 minutes because it's from our house, not where he works & she doesn't have to drive at all because she's already there. My husband is so dumb for agreeing to this, but he didn't want to fight over it.
Super duper Saturday & Sunday! (This is what PAS does!)
Saturday morning we had my husband's parents over for brunch. After we ate, SD9 wanted to open her presents (her birthday was earlier this month). So SD9 opened them with her back towards me & did not show me any of the gifts. And she complained because she didn't get much. (We gave her her presents back in July, so this was just stuff from the grandparents & my husband's sister.) As soon as the presents were opened, she went down to her bedroom. At one point, I heard my FIL asking SD9 some basic questions. She completely ignored him.
Fun, fun Friday! (Here's what we dealt with after BM had SD9 for an entire MONTH!)
First & foremost, it was NOT a very fun weekend. It started with my husband, his father & stepmother, and I going to pick-up SD9. (Remember, this is after BM has had SD9 for an entire month!) We met at the place BM requested, which was right across from her boyfriend's place. (I wanted to kick my husband for agreeing to this, but oh well.) So we get there & park. I see BM's car coming within 5 minutes. One thing though...she was coming from the opposite direction that she should have come from.
Annoyed with husband
As I've mentioned in other blogs, my in-laws are visiting. We picked up SD9 last night & we out to dinner with his parents (more on that in another blog). My husband also invited them to breakfast this morning, which is fine, especially since my husband is making pancakes. So all I have to do it make sure the table is clean & set & clean up after his pancake making mess.

Laugh for the day! Dumb BM!
To combat my other blog about my woes, here's something that might make you laugh...
BM sent my husband an email yesterday to confirm the pick-up times on Friday & Sunday (this was in response to his email). She agreed to the times, but not the place. (A school that is about half way between her house & ours, where we had done the exchange before.)

Joining BBB & jojo today....
The last couple of days have been awful. There is entirely too much going on all at once: my in-laws are visiting, still dealing with BM's nonsense, thinking about court (rumor is the date is Sept. 15th, but we haven't gotten anything from the court yet), issues with work, etc. As some of you know, I'm 4 months pregnant so trying to deal with all of this is extremely stressful. All I want is my afternoon nap, which I haven't been able to take in 4 or 5 days, so I'm falling asleep on the couch at 9:00. This makes me feel bad because I want to be spending this time with my husband.

Now time for the in-laws rant...kind of off topic...
So my husband's father & stepmother came up yesterday. They're here for at least a week. They have a huge motor home (or whatever they're called) & are staying at a camp ground a few minutes from our house. I really like them both, so that's not the issue. The issue is that every year they come up & we have no plans on what we're doing while they're here. It's really awkward.

Squeegie is not having a good weekend so far!!! The school/custody rant...
I have so many things to rant about right now, I don't even know where to begin! I might have to do several blog entries just because there is so much crap going on & you all know by now how much I like to write. Ugh! Where to start...
Am I a horrible person?
Ever since BM told my husband that he might not be SD8's father, I've been secretly hoping that it's true. I know, I should be hoping that it's not true because this is going to devastate my husband, who does not deserve this. But...
