Say something or leave it alone?
I posted awhile back how my Ex's mom wants BS to go Canada (we live in the US) and stay in her remote cabin with her for a few weeks in the summer.

The goings on in step land for Zero... no rest for the wicked ;-)
DH and I went on vacation this past week. It was amazing. Weather was perfect. DH and I really enjoyed ourselves.
We even got to meet up with ipeed! 
No drama with skids and SILs. I actually felt really bonded with my SILs. It felt good. They didnt bring up or ask about skids at all. LOL.
Payday loans is looking for MSD
A Payday loan place called DH's phone looking for MSD19.
Can this book smart girl get any more stupid?
Now we have to deal with bill collector's calling for MSD? Not cool.

Reminder for me to keep my ears shut and my mouth closed....
DH and I are going on vacation and we will be seeing 2 of DH's sisters.
Of course they are going to ask about the skids.
I am really hoping that I am in the place where I can just ignore the conversation about the skids. I need to train my ears to not even listen to any conversation about the skids. And I defintely dont want to hear anything that may cause me to open my mouth. I know that DH sometimes leaves out facts about the skids and makes them look better then they are.
Example:
SIL: So awesome that MSD graduated HS when she had a baby so young.
How many of us started off "disengaged"?
I am now mostly disengaged.
It has gotten easier with each skid situation. But I still have "bad" days, situations, etc.
I am no longer angry or upset or dissapointed. I am indifferent.
At the beginning it was "good" with the skids so I dont regret any of those moments. BUT with that being said, it made their hurt, betrayals and other drama hurt so much more.
Had I never had an expectation or involvement or a care, then it wouldnt have been such a mess to deal with.

Need opinions on this- Update from taxes, back child support issue
Update to this post yesterday: http://www.steptalk.org/node/213866
Kind of thinking out loud but would like any opinions or feedback in case there isnt something I thought about.
Tax refund was $2600. I filed injured spouse form with taxes. Received $800 yesterday. Assumption is the other portion $1800 is going for back child support. I think the IRS messed up somewhere since I am the one with the dependent (my BS, not DH's kid)and the credits, exemptions, etc. The higher portion of the refund should be "mine". (The $1800)
Back Child Support- Taxes- Feeling Frustrated! UUUUGGGHHH
DH owes back CS. Basically when SS lived with DH and MSD and YSD lived with BM, BM didnt pay DH any CS for SS but DH paid a lower amount of CS for MSD and YSD. When SS graduated (almost 3 years ago) neither DH or BM filed to have the CS modified. Which I cant believe it took so long, because BM could have been getting more money, since she still had 2 kids and DH now had none. Whatever, it didnt happen for over a year, which by the time it was modified and figured out, DH now owed BM Like $5000+ in back child support. I have no issues that he owed her money, it is what it is.
OT: Cell phone Etiquette
My co worker and I are having a little debate.
Before this debate, I know her stance on cell phones- missed calls, messages. She feels that if she calls/texts you, you should get back to her right away, even if it's just a quick response. She thinks that because a person usually has their phone on them at all times, that they see the message/call and should respond back right away and its rude not to.
I feel that if its an emergency, then of course you should respond right away.

OT- Tips for kids taking the bus home alone
The plan is for BS to take the bus home from school next year. Most days I work from home, but some days I will be in the office and he will be home alone for a couple of hours.
He has taken a Home Alone class so he has the basics.
I have went over lots of different scenarios with him and have walked through any possible issues we may have.
I trust that all will be good once he is in the house. I can trust him that he will do his homework, watch tv, play on his DS until I get home.
Here are some of the things I plan on doing or have told him.
