I have been so busy the last couple of days. Yesterday was both kids Easter parties at school (worked D8's), playdate, helped out at the CCD retreat then out to dinner. I was pooped!! We got home and D8 made it to world 5 on Super Mario and they were so excited so we played until 10:00. They were so cute.
Today Vanilla Ice showed up late (typical) to pick up the girls. D8 was having a hard time leaving. She doesn't like to be away from home and wasn't sure that she wanted to go. I explained to her that Vanilla misses her and wants to spend time with her and I know she misses him too. I told her that I want her to go with Vanilla and have a great time but if she decided to come home that is fine too, whatever her decision is would be okay.
She went. When I talked to Vanilla he just woke up from a nap and was boiling some eggs for the girls to dye. Very unlike him, I hope they had fun.
So today I packed some of the stuff in my basement. YIKES!!!! It's gonna take FOREVER to pack all my crap! It would be easier to have a bonfire in the front yard.
I think I will get the house I want. I will call to check on it next week. My sister went today and took some pics and sent to me. The house looks great. Can't believe I'm buying a house I have never seen... But I trust my sister.
My MIL comes tomorrow afternoon, and will be here for 5 weeks. So I will check in whenever I can.
vanilla ice is passive aggressive. That is why he shows up late. He wants to push your buttons. vanilla ice does not earn capital letters for his name.

I never thought about him being passive aggressive. I suppose you are right, when he left he was very concerned with how upset I would get with his behaivor. He was showing up late, coming home ridiculously late from "work dinners", etc. Maybe he is testing me to see how I react.
I just thought he didn't care enough to show up on time.
This visit is important to you. I can tell. This visit will be important to vanilla. He will feel pressure that she loves and supports you. Hang in there. This 5 weeks will be a series of highs and lows. Come here, let us be your friend when you need us. Call me if you need. I care about you and your family, HOlly

Thank you all for stopping by and your well wishes.
I am PMSing BAD today!!! I am being grumpy with everyone and I know it and I can't seem to stop myself. I try and I am good for a few minutes then ROAR and nasty again.
I was in a good mood until Vanilla decided to show up with the kids a half hour late. I talked to him last night and he said he had to go visit a male friend who's mom is in the hospital so he would drop the girls off early 9:30 today. I told him that wasn't a problem but please make sure they were bathed last night and were here by 9:30 so we could go to 10:00 Mass. He should up at 10:05 and the kids had wet hair. He let them bathe themselves and still had conditioner in their hair. And they hadn't eaten yet. Grrrr....
Then I am unpacking their bag and D8 says her shirt needs Spray 'n' Wash, no problem. I asked her what was on it.....egg dye!!! This is a BRAND NEW shirt he let them color eggs in and D4's BRAND NEW pants have stains too!!!!
On top of all of that D4 is just a pill today, which H warned me of when he got here. She is not listening and whining about EVERYTHING. She always seems to be this way when she comes back from his place.
D8 said she told her dad she wanted to come home last night but he wouldn't let her. He said they had a good talk about trust. Wonder what he said?
I am trying to find my peace again today and it is not easy at the moment. sigh.
