And he just got off of the phone with BioDad. He actually called the idiot to tell him.

BioDad asked two questions.

1. Do you want to do this or do your Mom and HIM want you to do it?

Good question and exactly the question I would ask if I was him. So I will throw him a bone and say that he has at lease one viable brain cell in his head.

2. How much is this going to cost me?

The Skid is truly becoming a formidable young man.

So, the kid gets a letter on Friday informing him he has been selected for and invited to Summer Leadership Camp the two weeks before school starts. This is a really cool thing for kids that attend Military School. It means the Cadet Leadership, the academic staff and the administration think he has something to offer and it develops kids in to leadership roles in the Corps of Cadets.

The whole invitation letter thing is a funny story that I will blog on later.

VENT/Question/FRUSTRATION!

Ok.. we haven't officially been to court yet, due to the paperwork mix up and BM never getting the original paperwork.

BM's phone is still cut off going on week 3-

DH has been paying child support out of pocket, he was working 2 jobs but is now down to one on his own accord and they were originally taking it out of job#2 that he no longer works.

Today we get paperwork from CSEA saying that they are going to start taking it out of his job #1 checks now and that they are requesting that he cover SS fully for medical coverage.

Ugh, I am about at my wits end with my 6 1/2 year-old SS.

We have been battling with him for 3 years now. Through countless therapists, evaluations, doctors, medications, etc. He was even getting to the point where I thought we had made some serious progress, but now I'm not so sure.

A little background (I mentioned these next few paragraphs in response to another blog, so I apologize for cross-posting):

Guess who finally showed up for party #4?

MIL insisted on having yet another attempt at a party for SD16 (she was a no-show for the first 3). I could think of nothing I wanted to do more than spend a 4th straight weekend with the inlaws... not. On a side note, BIL and SIL did not get the cancellation call in time last weekend and so wasted a trip out for the 3rd b-day cancellation.

I'm mad

I find that I am just mad. Mad about the mess the kids make when they are here. How can they possibly bitch about the rule to eat in the kitchen, over a plate, when they don't FOLLOW THE RULE anyway?? I found a ruined towel stuffed in the closet today and nasty food garbage all over my car. Why is it that they think the world is their garbage can and I am the garbage collector? (I do not get paid enough for that!) They never get in trouble for not following the rules. I am just so frustrated and angry.

Am I totally horrible that I'm pissy that I have to work even when our son is born?

If it wasn't for all the money that we spend on SS (who lives wiht us full-time) I could probably go to working part-time and still be able to stay home with our son (he's due in Sept) but DH doesn't want to hurt SS by cutting back on things for him because he thinks SS will then be jealous of the baby.

Ugh! Honestly I'm at a point where I don't care if SS is jealous I just want to be able to spend time at home with my first child
