Soo... DH was getting the skids this past weekend as a make up to the weekend the BM decided to change 2 days before his weekend. Then we have them this coming weekend again. Part of the deal I made w/my dh was that 1) SD9 could not have her friend over either weekend as a punishment for messing up the past 2 weekends we had her w/this friend over (NOT the friends' fault.. she gave the friend pills her BM had sent up in her backpack, unbeknownst to us, and the weekend after went w/her friend into my room when that is off limits)..

In couples counseling??? I would be interested in seeing how many of us have gone to couples counseling.. I was thinking that perhaps this post could benefit everyone thinking about it..

My dh and I have an appt set up for (get this.... ) Valentine's Day, before we go out to dinner.. our first session.

For those of you that go, did you feel it helped?? did you see any improvement on the communications in the family, and did the dh/dw become easier to talk to about their children??

Ok.. Not sure if anyone else caught this..

Everyone is talking about this girl missing. I have been watching it since it first came up how her mom had talked to her on Dec. 14th.. and how the mom hadnt heard from her since.. and called and reported her missing.

So.. it was only Thursday night.. and it has begun..

DH called to talk to the skids.. he gets off of the phone and then turns to me and says.. "oh.. by the way... BM said she would drop the skids off Friday night" (says Friday night like it wasnt the next day.. says Friday night as if that was what WE agreed to.. (also.. this is RARE that she would drive them to us... I can count on 1 hand the number of times she has driven her children to us in the 4.5 yrs I have known my DH))
