I blogged earlier this week about how BM wanted us to take the skids for a few hours (originally asked for overnight) today. Since FDH works at both of his jobs today with a break between 2 and 7 he told her we'd take them just until her mom gets off of work this afternoon. She said she'd drop them off here at 1.

I almost took the dog for a walk to get some energy out of him before they got here, but instead, at about 12:25 I jump in the shower. I only take like 5 minute showers but when I got out, I heard this loud BANGING on the front door. I listened for a minute and heard the skid's voices. She came a half hour early!

I started getting pissed thinking I'm not answering the door yet! BM NEVER allows us to drop off skids even 10 minutes prior to our specified time, we have to sit in her parking lot if we arrive early. So, I decided I'd let her sit in the driveway. Plus, I figured she can call me to see what's up -- she has my number.

So I turn the shower back on in case they can hear it somehow. I dink around in the bedroom, the whole while just getting more and more pissed off because she's literally BANGING on our front door. The whole side of our house sounded like it was going to fall apart. (PS -- WE HAVE A FREAKIN DOORBELL). I peeked out the window and saw the skids playing in the snow, so I know it's BM banging. The blood was starting to curdle, I swear.

So it's 12:40 and I finally decide to turn off the shower and give it about 2 more minutes. I get dressed. My hair's still wet so it still looks like I just got out. As I'm going down the stairs to open the door, FDH calls me. BM called HIM at work to tell him I'm not answering! Like she can't frickin dial MY number.

Anyway, I open the door, call the kids in, and BM comes up to the door (she had finally retreated toward her car). I say, "I was in the shower." and she looks at me and laughs. Then the kids start to laugh at my wet hair. So she proceeds to take the skids coats off for them and hands me their McDonald's (why she couldn't just eat there and come at 1 like she planned?) and NOT ONE WORD OF APOLOGY, OF THANK YOU, or ANYTHING. It's not so much that she arrived early but that she could just have ONE OUNCE of consideration for anyone but herself!!!!! She could have texted and said, "Oops, I'm early, is that okay?" or SOMETHING...or I don't know, maybe said, "I'm sorry we're early" or "Thank you for taking them today." NOTHING.

Oh wait, but she does inform me that SS3 seems to have a fever and is feeling really crappy. Ohhh, THANK YOU, BM, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and could really use the flu germs from your kid!!!!!!!!

I immediately called FDH and went to a private room and told him he better REAM HER for being so inconsiderate. It is taking everything I have to not text her "YOU'RE WELCOME" or something else snotty...instead I called my sister and vented (and cried...yes the hormones must be raging today) and now I'm writing this.

SORRY for this long vent everyone!! Thankfully BM's mom will be here around 4 to pick up the kids. I'm going to slap in a movie and stay as far away from SS3 as possible.
