So we have SS9 this weekend and he is in school basketball again this year. He has games every Sat., and he did not bring his jersey with him to school on Fri., and I picked him up from school. (His school is about 30 minutes away, his mom's place is now in a small meth town more than 45 minutes away). So BM promised to bring his jersey into town yesterday afternoon and leave it at her parents' house. We go to BM's parents house last night, and no jersey.

Giving a Nine Year Old a .22 Calibre Rifle for Christmas?

So my SS9 is unfortunately obsessed (and I mean to a nearly unhealthy degree) with guns. His only request for Santa this year is to give him a .22 for Christmas. Needless to say DH and I got him anything but that... (we're not NRA members by any means, lol), new basketball (from me, he plays school basketball), baseballs, games, DVD's, and his grandpa (my FIL) got him an expensive pro RC car from a hobby shop. If anything he needs encouragement to get out and be active because his weight is steadily growing and he is clearly overweight.

Worries About Future Children and SS9.

So I've been pondering this for awhile.

DH and I want to try to have a baby sometime in the future. We're probably going to wait at least a year though because my current job/income situation is not ideal for starting a family just yet. But we've been discussing it more recently, and I think it's a definite plan for us.

Okay, I feel like venting some more about BM and the situation with SS9. I don't expect anyone to actually read all of this, but if you like stories full of stupid drama, maybe it'll be entertaining. lol. I just feel like getting it all out there, history and all. Believe this or not, this is only part of the things she's done since DH and I have been together.

SS9's Latest Phase...

An update - BM got her very own phone instead of using the one we got for SS9. Hooray! Now if she'd only get a car so she wasn't reliant on other people (but she seems to be against doing ANYTHING to foster her own independence from using other people, so it's unlikely).

SS9 called my phone and asked me to put BM's so-called guy "friend" she's living with now's number off restriction. Opinions??

Hey, so I'd just like a few outsider perspectives here...

Anyone who read my blog post yesterday knows the backstory of SS9's BM abusing his emergency phone.

Well he just called my phone a few minutes ago wanting to talk to DH, and was asking him to put this new guy whom BM is living with's number back on his phone. I get the distinct impression that it's more his BM making this request than SS9.

Apparently as things are with her living situation she is completely dependent on this guy for all her transportation needs, including getting SS9 to/from school.

Sleep deprived, but not from a baby, from a NINE YEAR OLD!!!

So this is my first blog post. I have lurked here for a couple weeks after someone directed me here after reading a post (venting about the SAME issue, SS9 waking us up repeatedly throughout the night) in a different forum. I am running on several hours too little sleep (I am a big sleeper, so this really affects me), and as I was cleaning the kitchen this morning I discovered that DH had dumped frying oil in the kitchen garbage can. WTH?? WHO DOES THAT?? So I'm making him clean up the horrendous mess it made under the sink right now before I continue cleaning in there. }:)
