2008 = Crazy Year (Havin Fun @ 21?)

[lost_in_space]

Hey all. More of the same cr@p. More of the kids being involved. Some updates:

* I take S13to rink. Turns out W is there doing volunteer stuff. W hasn't been home all day - house is a disaster. K's make their own supper. D16 calls me to leave rink and go to store to get her something to eat – she is not feeling well. I get home after game and all 3 kids have friends over. Play game with S13 and friend (RISK again). W finally home at 1 am and of course right away start dictating schedules.

* W has our kids sorting through stuff in basement as to what goes to what house!!!??? Taking matters in own hands again I see. Also find out W has once again talked S13 into going to rink with her even though he and I made plans last night about it. I talk to S13 after, tell him that I do not want to put him in the middle and say not to change anything for this time, but for next time, when we have plans, need to tell mom so and then me - I will not let her change plans if they are already made. After S13's game I go out to friends (the ones we were supposed to go to Hawaii with - they are back). 11:30 and kids are going to bed already anyway.

* This morning, coffee pot over flowing. I was getting stuff to clean it up. W came over and tried to kick me out of the way. I continued cleaning up - had it under control. When I went to get more paper towels, you cam in and took over. Too funny - I just smiled.

* More from this morning... S13 scored a goal yesterday - and the deal was he would get a new stick when he scored. I held up my end of the bargain. W got pi$$ed off - started yelling. "Is this a joint b'day present? Would have been nice to discuss. I was already planning something" (taking S13 to NHL game on his birthday which has NOT been discussed at all with me). I asked W to lower her voice (all kids were there) and she said no, the k's would see through the BS; W said that just because you have all the control for now with the money "We are still parents and need to discuss what happens with the kids." Like you have done this AT ALL in the last while. You say you can't afford anything like a $300 stick. I say that this was a deal S13 and I had a while back.

BTW - I have my audio recorder at the ready!
