I'm still mad at DH about the taxes issues. Somehow, I just feel that if he's going to simply GIVE BM $xxx as hush money so that she won't stir up drama, then at the very least he should also give me the same $xxx to splurge on myself, and perhaps more!! Is it wrong to think this way? Why is it that he'd pay to avoid drama with her (i.e. not make her angry or upset), but doesn't seem to care if I'm angry or upset about this??

Getting the kids today. Woo hoo. After a skid free weekend last weekend, I'm not looking forward to this weekend. He's probably working late today, so I get to meet and greet. Well, I told him to tell his ex to drop them off at his mom's, so that I don't have to be sitting around waiting on them, and then he can pick them up, so I don't have to meet and greet. Let's see if he actually does it.

BM also called him to discuss SD, who is once again failing classes. This after being given back her cell phone by BM - no surprise really. BM is definitely going to have a hard time dealing with the monster problem she's creating. SD's more worried about planning the 13th birthday bash, than her school work. Apparently BM has already promised she can have this bash. I told the skids 2 weekends ago that if it were me, there'd definitely be no such bash unless her grades and attitude to schoolwork improved. But hey, I'm not mom, so bring on the bad grades and the birthday bash!

I had planned a bunch of school work, found practice papers etc. for the kids to do this weekend, but I'm simply not enthusiastic about it anymore. I put so much effort into it, neglect my own kid, and barely get a rest on the weekends when I do schoolwork with them. It's not hard labor, but it still is physically and mentally draining.

Ah well, let's see what the weekend brings...
