Why am I making father's day good when mother's day
Mother's day sucked a**
I sent my mother flowers In hospice to be there the Saturday before . She passed that Friday. I couldn't even have the brain cells to refund it. I want to thank everyone for your prayers and wishes during that time. She is with many very loyal puppers a few relatives , and one amazing aunt. I miss her every single day.
I might post about the funeral someday but it didn't do her enough justice and I cried with her urn over a few double whiskeys at O'Hare

It's been a bit ( Some OT and beyond)
I missed you guys. I had to take a break as real life got very terrible very quickly
Starting with the sweet- the kids and I have an amazing bond. I'm no longer truly hurt or bothered by their mothers buffoonery so I don't resent them. The only issue we have is the kids will forget manners which my husband are a united front. If SD6 needs the wifi password ( for the 8th time), dessert etc if she doesn't say please she gets sarcastic answers which now she understands she needs to ask politely. Eldest crossed that bridge long ago.

BM keeps getting dumber and some O/T updates
I still read everyday and try to show support when I can but haven't posted for a bit.
So BM is finally seeing the effects of randomly taking the girls out of school . Jk - the kids are. My husband started giving SD9 and SD6 money for good grades. SD9s report card went from close to all As to one A and all C's. We magically never get SD6s report card. I'm going to guess not because of grades but because of the comments about missing school that SD9s already has

OT hard choices
Hello friends ! It's been a bit.
I have a lot of not fun going on with my mother and some weird stuff with the step kids but this is a weird offer I need to bring up for some sage advice
My husband and I were saving to buy a house. We actually made an offer , did inspection, then found out despite being pre qualified my husband with 1099 would need to wait til 2 years of employment. Welp my dreams were crushed but we moved on.

Enjoying the ride or about to hit a drop
First off my apologies for not being the best replying to comments. Most of the time I just don't know what to say besides " I agree" so I just like comments. This will be different
So I did book our mini vacation with the step kids. We are keeping it as a slight Surprise. I got a off property resort with two bedrooms ( I don't know how comfortable I'd be in a regular hotel room with them. Even for this long of a time when we stayed out here we stayed at suites or Airbnb). I digress.

Some beacon of hope
So last weekend went off awesome. BM does not have a bath at her home so I got the kids bath bombs and they loved it. Both were gracious and in a great mood all weekend.
We visited DHs family for a bit and went home where we watched space jam 2 ( which was awful) but we had an amazing time. My DH took pictures of us dancing around when the movie got boring as I wore my parody bugs bunny kigurimi ( basically large saggy pajamas )

Is BM getting less clingy?
Or is this just an experimental situation? That is the question.
So after our last weekend of calling the kids on their cells constantly. To the point of waking one of the girls up Sunday. Yea that was fun. DH actually finally grew a pair and asked for some courtesy during our time. Meaning the kids should be spending their time with him well- with him. Not calling her because she asked them to.

A love letter to BM
Folks it's a long one. Don't bother to read if you don't need to I just need to vent after everything
Dear child catcher,
I LOVE that you got SD6 and SD8 iphones. Isn't that grand? With all of the issues they've had with unfettered internet access isn't that so exciting?
Oh ? You got those so you can call and FaceTime your children 24/7 during visitation? Wow good for you. Great parenting. Good job waking up the kids early on Sunday with a loud phone call. They were sooo happy about that

How to ruin a good weekend by child catcher ( rant)
To preface- I had long ago named BM child catcher as she would often try to lure at least youngest away from weekends with whatever she could ( promises of ice cream, outings etc.) That died down after SD6 had started staying overnight again but last weekend was a doozie of drama which may actually have some impact on DH letting BM have phone calls during our weekends.
So Friday besides her texting him 3 or 4 times to check in on the " babies" goes fine.

And now an update on stepkids
First off a giant apology for not addressing all of the heart fealt comments regarding my mother. She's currently in a tango between life and death . I can't change or do jack shit.
So my crazy ass stepkids. I love them. I truly do but holy shit their mother's level of crazy always finds ways into my household. Gems like :
"Mom wants us to be homeschooling "
" Mom doesn't believe we possibly came from apes"
" Our big brother cheated on ( his long time girlfriend)"
