On committing PAS - do you think it's okay in this instance?

The skids are about to go to BM's for her extended summer visitation. She will have them for the whole month of July, minus one weekend.

Last year, during extended summer visitation, the kids got headlice - really, really bad while staying at BM's. I had to battle them constantly. I would clean their heads and the entire house (huge pain in the ass!) and every time they would go to their mom's house they would come back with it and I'd have to do it all over again.

Arrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh! I just wanna scream after court this morning.

So, we went to court. The main thing over DH's CS arrearages. He's had sole custody for two years, BM standard visitation. No one was ordered to pay CS in the temp visitation outline.

Our brilliant clerk's office failed to send anything to the AG. DH's CS debt was accruing at the rate of what it was before he had custody. Before he got custody there was some arrearage, but nothing to the tune of what it was as of this morning according to the AG's office.

I may have forgiven BM ... for now.

BM calls me, occasionally. It's always about skid business. I can't help but think about just how stupid she can be everytime I hear her voice.

I knows she's phony. She calls me and she has this sing-songy, cheerful voice and I know it's all an act. I can't act like that. I'm just not made that way. I'm not rude to her, but I can't pretend I'm talking to her with a smile on my face. When people ask me to smile and I'm not in a good mood, I'm told it's really quite scary looking. That's just me, no poker face whatsoever.

OT - How to be a gracious bitch.

While reading BMJen's wedding woes it reminded me of an email I got recently. I just had to share.

HOW TO BE
A (GRACIOUS) BITCH

Jennifer's
wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could
dampen her excitement -
not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the
PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!
A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her
father's new, young wife had bought the exact
same dress as her mother!

Don't mess with a woman who just won an Oscar.

Latest reports say Michelle McGee, mistress of Jesse James has lost two modeling contracts, one with Angry White Girl clothing and another with a XXX website.

She's now also in a custody dispute with her ex over their son.

BM has the kids this spring break. She got them for her regular Thursday and then when they got out of school Friday and they don't return to us until they get out of school a week from Monday.

Since Thursday evening, I have been cleaning my house. I'm so excited to clean it and have it stay clean for an entire week.

OT - Would be better to ignore or acknowledge Vday for widowed MIL?

MIL's husband died close to this time of year nearly 3 years ago. I was thinking of getting her a card and maybe some candy from DH and I and the kids for Valentine's. But I'm wondering will that make her miss her deceased husband more (probably), but should I do it anyway even though it more than likely somewhat renew the pain of her loss?

I get along very well with my MIL, btw. And I know that FIL used to always give her Valentine's gifts. She usually sets all the stuffed animals and cards from years gone by from him out for the holiday.

What do you think?
