Well, Saturday was D's birthday, she turned 13. We had a party at STBX's because D wanted a sleepover party and obviously my apartment could not be home to that due to size constraints .STBX bought most of the supplies while I supplied the cake, some water balloons and did the BBQing. The highlight of the evening, post water balloon fight outside, was after cake cutting when I looked into the dining room and found D13 stuffing chocolate cake in the face of one of her friends. Yes, chocolate cake was everywhere, all over the nice light coloured rug! I put an immediate end to this, just as the other kids were grabbing handfuls of cake! I couldn't believe my kid was insane enough to do that at her mom's!!! I assisted daughter with the cleanup while STBX harped on her about choclate stains on carpets (rightly so, I'll give her that one!). I took off at 11:00 pm leaving STBX with the sleepover component. On the way out I said to STBX "may the force be with you". It was quite the evening.
