I have been so super busy the last 3 days. Sorry it took so long to update!!

Ok so Monday was my birthday. I said something to DH the day before about how SD cannot even bring herself to say happy birthday to me. He got defensive. Whatever.

Monday afternoon I get a text from SD asking me to get her a bunch of stuff from the store. Then at the end she says oh yeah and happy birthday. That was a big step for her. I totally see thru her though. She was only asking for stuff to prove that she can get stuff on other peoples birthdays. It sounds crazy but that's just her. She would never say happy birthday to my face!!

Monday night we are waiting for DH to get home to do cake and presents. SD is being a bitch asking what are we doing for dinner. I told her we are getting take out because its getting late and DH told me not to cook. He took me out to dinner Saturday night for my bday anyway. Then SD goes and CLEANS HER ROOM!! She hasn't cleaned her room in years. AND she vacuumed it. She had no idea how to use it and had to ask me. Me and DD11 totally saw thru this. She was going to grab DH when he walked in so I wouldn't get any attention and be like daddy daddy daddy I cleaned my room, come see, daddy daddy. Ugh!

It backfired because DH comes home and she gets bitchy with him about dinner. She starts insisting on picking the place. He said its imjustthemaid's birthday and she gets to pick. She storms away all pissed off. Then when we get dinner guess what the little bitch got----spaghetti and meatballs. But whenever I make pasta she says she can't eat pasta or sauce because its hurts her wittle belly!!! I opened presents and she was texting the entire time. Sang happy birthday, she never looked up. At least she didn't cry.

Tuesday-She ended up getting picked up from school by her bf. I went to DD11's school play during the day because BD4's preschool graduation was that night at the same time as the actual play. SD did not come to the graduation of course. MIL came and was actually very nice. We came back to the house and of course they bring up BM. Not saying nice things but honestly can something just be about BD without bringing up BM and SD!!! Even in the middle of the graduation I heard DH say SD's name!! Ugh!

Wednesday-BD4's 5th birthday!! DH told me to tell SD she could go out with her bf because he didn't want her ruining the birthday. She ended up staying home because he couldn't come get her. Ugh! BD wanted pinkberry (frozen yogurt place) so I picked some up for all the kids. SD16 loves pinkberry. No thank you or anything. Then DH gets home and its time to open presents.

SD didn't like that DH was paying attention to BD opening presents. She gets her ipod and looks up a driving school and starts telling DH that she wants to enroll in this driving school in the summer that is in BM's mothers town. Now SD has not mentioned driving school at all. She turned 16 in October. She picked this moment in time because she couldn't handle daddy giving BD attention and needed to put the attention on herself. She went on and on-daddy this and daddy that. I was going to kill her. I am trying to video tape BD opening presents and being cute and all I hear in the freaking background is SD's fucking voice and DH talking to her about it. Then DH brings up BM and I lost it and yelled at him that I don't need her fucking name on my BD's birthday video and to cut the shit right now. I wanted to kill SD. She knew exactly what she was doing. She does this shit all the time. Whenever the attention is not on her she starts this crap. So DH tells her to sign up for the $750 driving school!!! Whatever I am staying out of it. She already messed it up because the parents have to take a 2 hour class in order for her to get her license and she was telling him it was optional. Its not but I am keeping my mouth shut!!

Then its time to order dinner. We let BD pick the place. It was just a sandwich shop that delivers. We all get sandwiches, BD gets mozzarella sticks and SD16 gets a huge dinner complete with salad!!! Then she starts demanding that DH order soda. He says he is getting root beer because we all like it. She starts whining that she doesn't drink root beer or orange and wants coke. None of us like coke. He gets orange and she ends up drinking it. She drinks root beer and orange all the time. Once again just trying to be difficult because the attention was not on her!! When we sang happy birthday she never even looked up. She was on her ipod texting the entire time.

At least this morning DH acknowledged that she was only talking about driving school to get attention on her. But he claims the birthdays were a success because she didn't cry for once. Unbelievable! It could have been worse and it usually is.

Friday its FIL's 70th birthday so I have to make another cake. Sunday my parents are coming into town and we are having a "party" for BD's birthday. Its just my parents and MIL coming. I have to make another cake and cook a big dinner and appetizers and stuff. I have made more cakes and cupcakes in the last week for last for a month!! Today I will be cleaning the entire house. I am so exhausted from doing all this running around the last few days!!

I am praying SD does not come home after school today. I really have had enough of her!!! Thank goodness she is planning on spending most of the summer at BM's mothers house. I don't know how I survived before she starting going there all the time!!
