Friday and Saturday went really well at our house. Friday night we had a sitter and went out with friends - great time. Saturday I got a massage and was able to lay out in the pool for a little while on my own! Yay - that never happens. The kids all were good, got along, etc. A friend of mine with similar age kids came over and we all went to the movies and out to dinner after. More family fun. Yippee...

The friends kids wanted to stay over and my son already had 2 friends so Sat night I had 8 kids in the house. That was actually pretty cool..until I had to make breakfast and get everyone ready to attend PPIA's birthday party at 11:00.

But anyway, we take a load of (my friends kids) and have a party at the bowling/laser tag place by out house. Then all these people come back to the house to swim. More entertaining. A few people left, a few others came over, I ended up having 10 around the table for dinner. Thank goodness everyone was gone by 7:30 - PPI8 and DD8 were both showered and in bed by 8:30.

For so much going on the drama level had been relatively low - PPIA got pissed when my friend let her youngest daughter have one of her twizzlers. She literally freaked out for 20 minutes. My friends were looking at me like - what is wrong with that kid?! I rolled my eyes and poured another glass of wine. Dad's problem not mine.

This morning, she was awful - she shoved a door closed onto my daughter's back and rammed the knob into her. I almost lost it with her- I did lose it with FDH. He has got to do something with her or I am not going to have anything to do with her any more. I am so freaking glad she is back with her crazy mother tonight. 10 days of her foul behavior, poor table manners and entitled bullshit is enough for me!

Thanks - I feel better
