Thoughts?
Today on my way into work a female radio DJ was talking to her 2 male co-hosts about a 2nd date she had planned tonight. She hasn't dated much since her divorce, but now she is getting back out there. The date was to go bowling at 6pm. Her dilemma was, although it isn't her custody day, her 7yr old son has baseball practice tonight, which she usually goes to. She likes to go to be in control and see what her son is up to, not because she really wants to be supportive (her words). We're talking rec league PRACTICE, not even a school league.

OT- Oops
Today is my SO's birthday, and I remembered when FB showed me about 30 minutes ago. Whoops. To be fair, I thought it was tomorrow. I honestly didn't even know what today's date was. I passed my SO on the front sidewalk this morning as he was getting home from work and I was leaving for work- we said hi and kissed and that was it. I have since sent him a happy birthday message, and posted some cute pics of us on FB with a nice post (he's sleeping so won't even see it for a few hours). But-

Surviving a long skid wknd
Give the skids a 4 day wknd, they said. It will be great, they said!
It is not great!! I just want it to be over. I need these kids to go by Crazy’s for a few days. Today needs to be Thursday!!
My gripes about this wknd are only made possible by an Easter miracle occurring in our household- SS12 miraculously kicked his video game addiction for a few days, apparently so he could become my SO’s shadow, and drive me to drink. Which I did.

Stage 5 clinger
Background: My SO works nights and sleeps from 6:30pm-10pm. Skids are with me during this time, which is whatever. SS12 is a nonfactor really- I'm surprised that kid hasn't started peeing in bottles so he doesn't have to leave the video games in his room. He comes out to use the bathroom and say goodnight, that's it. Fine by me.

Just had to open my big mouth
Saturday night we went to a concert with another couple. My SO isn't into this singer (he's my favorite), but he humors me and it's a fun night out. We get a hotel, do dinner, drinks...we both look forward to it and were having fun.
And then I went and opened my big mouth, because, skids.

Really wish it hadn't come to this
My heart is breaking today.
Last night I told my SO I think it's best if we have some distance, and that next week I plan on going to stay...I don't know where, but somewhere else for a few days. I really don't have any good options of places to go, which makes this harder.

So proud of my SO, and then he ruined it
After all the coddling of SS12 over his phone, combined with past incidents with no punishments for breaking rules, I was legitimately feeling like my SO had lost his backbone completely with skids.

SS and his stupid phone!
God I hope this is the last about this f’ng phone. In case you aren’t up to speed on the saga- SS12 totally smashed his phone last wknd at Crazy’s- immediately upon hearing such tragic news, my SO raced to call and get a new phone and pay the $100 deductible, without even seeing the phone or talking to SS. I mean, just imagine it- a 12yr Old going without a phone!!! *clutches pearls”
