Living the dream...one day at a time

[wishing, hoping]

Thanks for the tips Ellie and Wonka. I am not too impressed worth match but it's only been since Friday. So we will see how it goes. I'll try out OKCupid. I've heard bad things about plenty o fish.

So D had her tournament today. Games did not go well at all. We were slaughtered. But D played well. She got a participation trophy so she was thrilled. S won his game and he was really pumped about it. I dropped D off at J's so she could spend some time with him before I picked her back up and I dropped S off at youth group so I could chat with him.

It was a debacle at J's house this morning picking up D before her game. J called me and asked me to pick her up at 10 so I did. But in the meantime S was texting me and Telling me he couldn't find his shin guards. Hello...I don't live at dads anymore. Can't help you kiddo.

Got to J's and OW was packing up to head back to wherever she came from. Since her mom passed there is lots to do. I gave her my sympathies and she thanked me. She started talking to me about it, but I really didnt have time to listen so when D came outside I switched my attention to her. J came outside like a tornado shouting that he didnt have D's jerseys so I must have them. I explained that I put them in her backpack Wednesday morning so he would have them for this weekend. He swore up and down he couldn't find them. I swore up and down he had to have them. This went on for ten minutes. Finally he asked me to come into the house and look. I am not exaggerating when I say it took less than 30 seconds to find the bag with her uniform. If was hanging on the coat rack by the garage door behind her backpack.

I left soon after and S called me wishing I was still there. He said J kist screamed at him telling him how disrespectful and unappreciative he was. He made S feel horrible. I told S to let his dad know how he felt and to tell his dad how he hurt his feelings. S told J how he felt and said his dad said he was sorry but S didn't think he meant it.

I got to pick up D early tonight since J had to pick up OW's brother at the airport. That house stinks. It smells. Apparently OW's dog is having bladder problems and has peed all over the house. It looks and smells trashy. It's gross. And btw two photos of me are still on the wall. A pic of me with S on his first trick or treat and a pic of me and J's mom and my stepson. I wonder if OW is bugged by that? Hee hee.

What a huge bag of crazy. I wish my kids didn't have to deal with that.
