We're supposed to get the skids this weekend, and SD12 is asking if she can bring her friend with her...for the WEEKEND. My first instinct, especially based on the last time they were here (major drama!), was NO - actually, it was more like "HEEEEELLLLLLLLLL NNNOOOOOO!!! DH was all for it, saying that her friend would "keep her busy" and yada yada yada. But MY thought was that she was going to use said friend as an ally to "gang up" against me, and cause more drama.

So it's been over a week and SD11 has calmed down from the last fiasco, and we're trying them for another week. So far, it's been ok (we've had them since Monday night). She actually hasn't asked to eat every hour on the hour, so our food supply is pretty good!

Let me just start by saying that things between me and SD11 have been pretty ok thus far. I'm usually good with tending to her needs, but lately (especially with her recent weight gain and constant need to eat) it's been getting out of hand.

So recently, DH went to finally get proceedings going on lowering his CS (he's been paying too much for far too long, and don't ask me why he waited until NOW to do something about it!). On Aug 12th he signed the papers and had the lawyer send them her way. Well, today, we got her "response" to the documents, arguing why CS shouldn't be lowered (naturally). We read through them and we couldn't help but laugh at some of the allegations she's claiming.
