Insurance...open enrollment
Per our decree I carry the insurance on BS 10. I carried it on our entire family when we were married. My ex only paid 25.00 a month towards it until a few months ago when I switched to go through the state to manage cs. He now pays his state ordered 40% of the cost. He has never seen a medical bill and had 1 22.00 dental bill.

I hate school conferences.
So ex and I always go together to bs' s conferences when ex goes which is hit or miss. I alwAys schedule it around what works for him. What I hate is he takes his freaking sweet time to get back to me and since his new thing is he doesn't always respond or acknowledge my correspondence it sucks. We now have to go on line to sign up and because he needs it later it limits us. I texted again to see what works. If I don't hear by end of the work day I am scheduling what works for me and he can figure it out himself.

Robotic vacuum
So today my Bobsweeps arrived. I got it for 139.00... I am in love. It did get stuck a couple of times with my arm chair in the living room, but I put pillows around it. The only bummer it is not progrprogrammable like the ones for several hundred more. On the plus it has a huge dust pan. I plan on running it when we go up to bed so I am not too worried and putting it upstairs to vacuum when we are home.

Spending time with bs10 and ss17.
Today b.s. and I are having a date with his older brother at the arcade and lunch. Such a great young man. He found out he got accepted at the college of his choice..he wants to be a chemical engineer.
He is tired of his dad's b.s. so he has not been going there as of late so this is how the boys get to see each other. Today he told me I will always be his step mom, not former step mom. I love that kid and am so proud of him! I could have done a lot of things better back then, but am glad I did enough right to have this relationship still.

Ot- cats
So miss kitty is totally made herself at home and has declared herself the queen. Wiener dog would disagree with that but she is very good to kitty. They will even both be in bed with us at the same time, kitty just doesn't want to be right next to her.
So I had 2 cats years ago and while they were affectionate they were not like this. When I am home or when I am in bed the cat wants to lay on me have me pet non stop and wants to kiss my face.
I have never had any animal who was so needing my attention. She sometimes wakes me up multiple times a night for love.

Interesting development
So in the spirit of not being accused of co parenting or withholding info I had emailed ex about bs10's teacher info, band and the plan for getting himself on the bus. He doesn't reply or acknowledge these correspondences. Not even where I mention the upcoming non school days and if he wants to make some longer weekends out of them

Super pi $$ed
So I have full physical custody and we share joint legal just to set the stage. My bs now 10 has seen a therapist off and on for three years as he is emotional and was struggling to control his emotions and it created behavior issues mostly around bed time. His major flare ups have almost always happened when my ex who has documented mental health issues has been pulling shannanagans.

Former step son just melted my heart.
Today is my birthday. My former step son who is 17 now just sent me a text that read Happy birthday step momma! I feel so blessed that even though I have been divorced from my ex for several years the kids still love me and think of me as family. I am so glad my son had such good brothers and role models!

Well we had meet the teacher and drop off our school supplies last night. In our packet to take home one of the items is the info on 5th grade band. It is optional and there is a parent meeting where the will go over the requirements and commitment factor and asses the kids and instruments.
Now in our district it says the school has some free instruments for the kids that get free or reduced lunches. They say most rentals are between 30 and 50 a month.
