We are never scheduled to have the skids on Tuesdays. Around 3pm yesterday BM called FDH and asked if we could take them because she was sick. I promptly checked her Facebook (which she doesn't know we have access to) and of course she had gone out the night before. I told FDH she's probably hungover.

I just looked at it this morning to see if she did anything last night, and she posted at 8pm: "Meetin my chick Taylor at ___ (bar) - gonna do it up summa style!" and she posted a photo from her mobile at 1:30am...

If you've followed my blogs over the past few days, you'll know that FDH is in the process of getting a new job. It's more money, less stress, a 401K, health package, etc. The issues are that he has to leave for a 4 week training in a city 4 hours away, although he can come home on the weekends. Also his schedule will change with the skids a bit. Yes the training will suck...but it's temporary.

I posted a few days ago asking opinions on the best visitation schedule for 50/50 custody. Almost all of you said every other week seems to work best and gives the kids a sense of stability.

I suggested to FDH that with his new job we try to make our time with SS3 a chunk of time, rather than this day that day this day that day. He was totally on-board and thought it was a great idea! I was so happy that we were completely in sync with this. He actually got so excited about it that he called BM right away to feel her out.

1. Last night we got hit with a huge storm and the tornado sirens were going off. FDH called BM to find out where she was and to see if they were all safe (she lives on 3rd floor of an apt building). She said she had no idea what was going on. He asked her if she could hear the storm and the sirens and she said yeah but she said that she has Direct TV so she doesn't have anything local to check the weather (nevermind she is on her laptop and phone internet allll the time). FDH told her she better take the kids to wherever in their building that is designated storm shelter.
