Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that commented on my last post. I deleted it because I feel like there was too much information in it that could possibly identify me.

I know there are much bigger things going on in step world but this morning had been particularly frustrating! I get woken up by a cat being beaten to death--by that, I mean my SD12 singing at the top of her lungs with headphones in. The toilet paper roll is empty and not replaced (of course). My almost 2 year old DD was sleeping through DSL and she ruined it! Then I take DD down to get her milk and breakfast to find candy wrappers all over the table and an empty half gallon in the refrigerator. We had another full gallon.

So my LO gets baptized tomorrow. DH won't be there due to work (we have a couple vacations planned & he doesn't get sick or vacation time.) DH also doesn't believe a baptism really matters until a person can chose it for themselves. We have SD this week (50/50 week on & week off all year long). DH asks me if I'm taking SD12 with me to church. I said I will if she wants to go as it is her little sister. He asks if I talked to her about it. My response; nope!

So I've taken the week and really thought about why DH and I have so many problems when it comes to BM and SD12. It feels like we've had issues at every turn--the super awesome custody crap, the subsequent 50/50 split, the failure to follow the custody order when SD doesn't want to, etc. this year alone SD has missed Thanksgiving & New Years Day even though they were our holidays in the custody order because DH refuses to enforce the order when SD would rather be with BM because she makes fun plans to entice her.
