ahhhh so Im home from work! As soon as SO gets home we will be laying down our cement board for the tile in the kitchen! HELL KITCHEN should be done by FRIDAY!

on another note SO and I were talking about his mediation from last night and apparently the mediator ripped BM a NEW ONE! LOL. He pretty much told her that she needs to let go of the "past" and anything that happened then has no bearing on how SO treats his daughter now. Of course this isn't the case always but in OUR case, BM likes to sit there and cry about how he cheated on her when she was pregnant (not true)and how she can't trust him with her "feelings" therefore she cant trust him with HER daughter. LOL. Mediator told her if she can't distinguish the difference between her feelings and her daughter then she needs help pretty much. He told her she needed to let it go because she was not important, the only person that matters in this situation (between the 3 of them..or the 4 of us I would say) is SD. hahahahaha.

The only thing that was slightly annoying was that the mediator also told SO that maybe BM would trust him more if he kept a record of our day to day activities with SD to give to her. Because she kept saying that why should SO get any visitation when IM the one doing all the parenting?...well first of all, its called CO-PARENTING..as in we are a family and do everything together but whatever. Mediator also told her that its non of her damn business how SO decides to parent SD as long as she is cared for, but he still suggested keeping that record to appease her mind.

Ok, well IM taking it one step further, we're not going to WRITE down what we do during our daily activities
We're going to video tape it. ALL DAY. Hope you have a day to watch our day BM And then she can see that yes, I get up in the morning and make meals and have playtime and dole out timeouts...and so does SO. If anything, shes just going to see how lovely our kitchen is and how happy SD is when she is there.

And Im going to make sure I get meal times on there, because SD CLEANS her plate for me. But apparently she has an eating disorder according to BM because she won't eat for her. Oh and did I mention Im going to video tape bed time too? Bedtime where I tell SD ok now get in bed sleep time! And SD gets right in bed WITHOUT argument. oh ya but at BMs house bedtime is a "nightmare" because SD screams all night for milk. YOu know BM still gives her a bottle at night?! A BOTTLE. SHE IS 2!! AND she drinks out of a normal cup when she is here...not even a sippy. LOL this should be amusing to say the least.
