My ex, ds's dad, got me a mothers day present. A new dress and top and a top and fresh oysters and fish for lunch. He came over early and when I woke up he was cooking bacon and eggs for me for breakfast and he had ds vaccuming while he was cooking. Later I went out and bought flowers and soil and he made a flower border around the patio while he got drunk as he is a full blown alcoholic with a heart of gold.*sigh*

DS 10 1/2 came home from dad's today. He told me last night his dad asked him if he wanted to go to the store to buy me a card (which he did, in addition to giving me a handmade card). Ex has never had DS get a card for me in 8 years, though I have for him AND the SM for various occasions. Stop the goddamn presses, ladies, this is surely a sign that the apocalypse is coming. ~wanderlust

One of my mom friends posted a meme about her heart being empty if she didn't have her kids. I just took it as her saying that if her kids WHO ALREADY EXIST were suddenly taken away from her and she was left as a childless woman whose kids would never be in her life again, THAT would make her heart "empty," as in grief stricken. I never imagined it could be interpreted as a statement against CF people.

Whenever I ask DH to step up and help he gets allover our ds7 to step up. Bugs the shit outta me...so often I don't even bother. Kid does more than DH all too often.

Helpless female experiment update: And really, I'm not a troll. So I've been asking for help carrying things (groceries, mostly) and what DH does is holler for DS and make him help me. I asked for help re-potting a plant and he carried the stuff to the deck but walked away instead of actually helping. He did carry the pot back to the sunroom when I was done. This is frustrating. But he has been more productive though instead of sitting around. He cleaned out the shed and trimmed some trees.

My BFF of 35 years is packing up, selling their house and moving w/her DH and DS, out of Calif forever. It's difficult to make new friends in your early 60s, and I know it will be especially difficult moving to a totally new state where you know NO ONE.

i posted before that dh was considering moving back home near dss a year before i would be able to cuz i have to finish school. If i KNEW that he could get it back to shared parenting i would be more up for it, but just for a maybe for our marriage to go to seeing each other every other weekend is just gonna suck. I can tell he wants to...but it breaks my heart when i think about it...dont know if im just being selfish or if its what is best..

People are always asking why I won't leave DH even though he is emotionally and verbally abusive. He has made it QUITE clear that he will take my DS2 from me, and he could. The house is his, my car is in his name(even though I make all the payments, bc I don't have good enough credit yet) AND he has a better paying job.. That is why I won't leave him. He is great with DS and never mean to him, only horrible to me.

Ugh, I can't stand Adam Levine and his stupid girly voice. He makes George Michael sound butch. And George Michael's songs rock compared to his. "I'm at a pay phone?" "Make me your radio?" What special needs person wrote that shit?

Last night as I was washing the supper dishes and cooking dh's lunch for the next day, the dog started scratching on the door to go out potty. Dh, ds and dd were all sitting in the living room right next to the door, doing absolutely NOTHING! I asked if someone could please take her out and dh replies, "she is faking, she doesn't have to go". I take her out and guess what? She took a huge crap. I bagged it up, brought it in the living room and plopped it down on the coffee table in front of them. Apparently, I am a horrible person for doing something so terrible.
