Bets, don't you worry. D9 no longer has to live out of a backpack. I'm going to fly my MIL out to your place immediately and she will handle it from there. She'll run her little stupid self out the Gap and purchase a wardrobe for each of your girls - which they will leave at their fathers. Now, the catch is, she gets to own the clothes. What does that mean to you? You have to say that three times before you go to sleep (you say any variation of 'these clothes do not belong to me'). If the girls wear 'her' clothes home from their father's house, you MUST have them clean and folded in a shopping bag to send back with him the next time you see him. Otherwise you may be accused of trying to take them for yourself. Can you handle it?? Me either...but that is what happened in my stitch and I suppose S should be thanking his stars that he doesn't have to live out of a backpack!
On a serious note, I think you did just FABULOUS letting that guppy swim by. You blew some bubbles at him, but didn't bite. You rock!!
