Yesterday I was 1) blamed for letting SD forget her saxaphone (WHICH WAS IN DH'S F-ING TRUCK which further enforced the fact that I didn't even know it was AT our house) and then 2) badmouthed because I am "smart" (between me, DH, and BM, I am the only one with a college degree--2 actually).

We had SD11 yesterday. She must have been in a good mood or the stars must have aligned because she came running up and hugged me as soon as she walked in. She was very loving and affectionate and paid more attention to ME than she did DH...which was a FIRST in almost 3 years. I even fussed at her slightly (she always tries to blame others on why her responsibilities weren't accomplished as they should have been--getting her notebook signed, turing in her HW in on time, etc. Wonder where THAT comes from LOL). Then 10 minutes later she was hugging on me and being super sweet again.

Ok, so my DH always tries goes down to Daytona for bike week in the spring and fall. BM usually decides that SHE'S going to go (even though her bike is broken and her bank account is in the negative) so he can't or he has to shorten his trip to make sure SD is taken care of. This year is the first year that I will be able to go (my work schedule has alway prevented it in the past) and I'm super excited. We have a free place to stay and get to see a lot of friends we never get to see. The best part....DH asks BM if he can switch one of his days with her so he can go and she says yes.

It must suck to know that your mom is a horrible person. That is what my SD is finding out more and more every day. We talked to her about the very hurtful things that BM has started telling DH that are supposedly coming from SD. Turns out...none of it was true. SD was standing there when BM said one of the things and told her afterward that she shouldn't have lied and twisted her words around like that. We informed her of the other things that had been said and she just looked stunned and confused and said "WHERE DID THAT COME FROM??? I NEEEEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT".
