We have had ALL 4 girls since Thursday/Friday and they will all be here until Tuesday with SD8 and SD3 going back to their mom's and SD11 and SD12 staying here. It's the first time EVER that we have had ALL 4 girls with us for this long. WE normally only get EOW. Let's just say it's been different having them all here. I used to think, I would love to have them all here all the time but now .... UMMMM, Re-thinking the idea.

I know not having any bio's makes things different. I sort of jumped into the role of FSM head first not knowing what to expect.

Today is Father's Day and I was up last night and today finishing SO's father's day card. We made him one Hudge Candy card and me being a little OCD on things It had to be perfect. That's my own doing. (BTW he LOVED it) So we get up and are getting ready to go out to brunch of SO's choice, loves this place. I get SD3's clothes and "approve" of the other's ( They always like me to help pick out their clothes) I get ready and then go to help them with their hair, I think they all slept with wet hair lastnight, crazy hair morning. I get all of them ready and they all look Really cute, Kinda my other OCD for special days, my own fault on that too.

Now SO and I have always found pride and get compliments on how good Skids are when we are out in public, They are normally always really good, even SD3 besides from her being 3 she is really good, one warning and they know we mean it. We went to this place and said in the Car, "Now girls please be on your best behavior here as it is daddy's day and we want him to have a good day." "OK DASKRA and Daddy" Now we did have to wait almost 30 min to get seated and they did pretty good for the most part just sitting. We get our table and had told them everyone gets water because they charge $3 extra for drinks and not all are re-fills either. They are used to that even when I explaine to them the amount of money we would be spending and how we have the same drinks at home.

It starts off with SD3 as it usally does, she is getting restless as she is done eating before all of us. SO and I take turns helping each kid get their food from the buffet, so we start eating last and always finish last. SD3 was kicking people at the table and kept saying I am board, ( I have never heard her say those words before) She was warned twice and the third time she kicked her sister, I took her to the bathroom to stand in the corner until she would say sorry to her sister and to her dad ( I did it because I am a female and taking her to the boys bathroom for that sort of thing might be weird and I was trying to keep his day good. Then I come back and SD11 is taking ice out of her cup with her hands (they know that is a no no at a resturant) SO had already had it with SD11 from the other day when she was not at her house to be picked up at 330 and FORGOT as she always does then FORGOT her uniform for softball and when her mom said she would bring it she FORGOT where she put it and BM could not find all of it. SO had a long talk the night before with SD11 and her responsability or lack of it. SO sort of lost it on her. He was very up set, I have never seen him get so upset with his kids EVER. It's usally me saying, "hello look at your kid and do something" He was not out of line for a public place but told her he was sick of this and would handel it when we left there.

It was really warm in this place and tons of people, plus we were packed in there so it was warm and I was starting to sweat after running around making sure everyone had what they needed. Was trying to help SO have a good father's day, he was helping more then I would have wanted him to but he wanted to do it too. SO i said I am really hot and was fanning myself and SD8 yells out "your sweating" NO SHIT kid. Then she said to her dad, You have a big stomach because your eating so much. Well kido, dad and I didn't start eating until you were half done and we like the food here. I told her not to say things like that and left it at that. the only person who was good was SD12. There were other things but that was what set him off.

We are walking out to the Van and SD11 is all huffy puffy and pouting beause her dad was mad at her... again. She shut the door after getting in, even with two girls still behind her. SO was on then.... He told her to get out of the Van and asked her what her deal was, why was she doing this and why was she eating her ice with her hands, how she knows it is not appopriate to do in public. She said she knew it wasn't but he didn't say anything to her the first time she did it. He was even more mad, So i have to tell you not to do things you know you are not supposed to do, I don't know SD11 said. We got in the van and SO told them how disapointed he was in them and upset at them. They have nevere acted like that and doesn't understand.

It's not that big of a deal but he has never gone off on them like that and it shocked all of them and me. He had just had it with them.

Ok so that was brunch today. Yesterday we get news that BM#1 was in the hospital for either her galbladder or something. Still don't know what is going on. Then BM#4 sends SO a E-mail where she tried to play the victim and mother of the year and saying we all need to get along. Well SO was already on today so she got an earfull. She tiried again to add things to the CO that she wanted and lied again. That's a whole other Blog on here though.

Anyways, I just don't know if I can handel having them all here all the time. I am re-thinking all of it. I used to miss the sound of them but now it's quiet and I love it. For now at least. SO is taking tomorrow off as we are celebrating Step-mother's day per request of SD's. They felt I was left out and should not be. They are good kids I just don't know what got into all of them. I guess they are not used to being with each other this long either and the short times they are here is Fun for them because they only see each other for short times. There is still more summer fun to come with SO's Summer time yet to come.
