Halloween Fun

It looks like this year Halloween could be more tricks than treats. DH and I decided to invite not only his EX but my EX as well to trick or treat with the kiddos this year. So, we will have:

DH, ME, Our 4 Kids, His Ex, Her 2yr. old, My Ex, My In-Laws, and possibly My Parents walking around the In-Laws neighborhood on Halloween night. Oh the things we do for the kids! Smile

Meltdown Last Night

I'm usually a pretty sane, confident, intelligent, level headed woman.

Last night, I was not. I'm not sure what got into me. It's like all of the logical thoughts in my head were replaced by studpid emotions that are completely absurd.

For instance:
LOGIC - My DH loves me completely and married me because he wants to be with me.
ABSURD - If BM made a strong enough play for him, DH would take her back so that he could have his kids full-time.

LOVING IT!

This is the 3rd week of our revised visitation schedule for my skids. We finally synched up the visits for his kids with the times my kids are with us. This weekend was the first 100% kid-free weekend and it was PERFECT!

Generally speaking, I love having a house full of kiddos and I get along well with my skids and I look forward to days that we have all the kids. But I can't tell you how WONDERFUL it was to just spend an entire uninterrupted weekend with my DH! We had no plans, no commitments, no ex drama, no parents/in-laws nothing that we HAD to get done.

What would YOU do?

Let's roleplay for a moment. Please tell me how you would handle the following:

You are a single mom of 3 kids BD13, BS11, Baby2
You live in a house with 3 bedrooms (about 1100 square feet)
BD13 and BS11 have always had their own rooms.
Baby is now 2 years old

How to you handle bedrooms/kids?

WOW.....just.....WOW

DH and his ex have been wrangling over who should pay to replace SD's cell phone. DH and I purchased it, added her to our plan, and gave SD the phone for her last birthday. Not even 6 months later, BM's new baby (not DH's kid) gets a hold of the cell phone and sends it swimming in the toilet. I don't feel that SD is to blame because she had the phone in her own room. However, BM doesn't let her close her door because it upsets the baby (who is now two). So baby gets a hold of it while SD is at school and it's ruined.

It's finally DONE!

After 3 trips to the courthouse, a two hour orientation, 3 hours of mediation DH FINALLY got what he was asking for in Mediation today! Smile

DH's Old Schedule:
1,3,5th weekends Saturday 9am - Sunday 6pm
2,4th weekends Sunday 9am - 6pm
Wednesdays 6-8pm
Plus a pretty normal holiday schedule except that it didn't allow for his weekend visits to be extended if there was a Monday or Friday holiday

First Day of School. :(

I have the same problem with my DH every year on the first and last day of the kids' school year. Apparently he, his exw and the kids usually go out for ice cream every year on these days and talk about how the kids days went. I hate it. I hate that he plays happy little family with her and the kids. I try hard not to get worked up about it but I can't seem to help it. So here we are again, he's going down there after school tomorrow and I ask him if they are going to eat too and he says he hasn't planned that far or thought about it. I say BS.
