Dh has decided all of a sudden that tomorrow he is having a barbeque at 6PM. Ok. I was fine with that, until he mentioned the next part. He is inviting SD7 (ugh), MIL, BIL1, BIL2 (who I HATE), 5 neighbors, and 4 friends from his previous job... Seriously? On Sunday we had talked about it and decided we would spend the day together relaxing because its been hell the last few months. But no, now I get to spend the day cooking, cleaning, entertaining, chasing SD7 around making sure she doesn't hurt anyone, trying to ignore BIL2, and ignore my MIL.

Almost 2 months on...Still nothing

As in my last post, DH lost his job. The plant was hoping the media lie hype would die down and they could start up production again. Unfortunately, that did not happen and they ended up closing 3 plants and letting go of 650+ people plus another 89 from their corporate office. He's been applying at jobs like crazy. About any job he is qualified (or even overqualified) for. Still nothing. His final severance check comes this Friday and then we are on our own. Sure there is unemployment but it's $400/week minus child support and taxes, it'll be around $150-$200.

I don't know where to start... We knew it was coming, but didn't think it would come this soon. DH is losing his job today. Thanks to a certain recent media hype and false accusation his plant will be closing its doors. He's been putting resumes out for the last 2 months, and still no callbacks. Soon there will be 300+ jobless people running around applying for jobs. We also found out today that Child Support Recovery has yet again taken our state tax refund. I still don't understand why when DH is NOT BEHIND and was already ahead $300.00.

I don't even know where to begin. My BIL is the worst person on the planet. He's absolutely horrible. I know his parents didn't raise him to be the way he is (and I know his father would be really disappointed with how he acts, when FIL was still alive he told me he never thought it was possible for him to hate one of his children but he hated this one).

Ok, so after the Armageddon Weekend blog debacle, I had mentioned we had a appointment with SD's therapist that Monday (as usual). The way these appointments usually go is:
-1 hour SD only
-1 hour parents
During the parents hour, we usually just get filled in on anything that needs addressed with SD.

So last night while SD7 was over DH and I sat down with her and explained how she is getting a big bed and we would like to got through her old big toys that she is too 'big' for now. The only ones I asked her about were the ones meant for 2-4 year olds. She piled up some of the stuff SHE wanted to get rid of (a lot of it was the big stuff so I was feeling proud at this point). After we were finished, I tried to make the first haul out to the car. It did not go over well.

Been A While!

Wow, it has certainly been a while since I've been on here. Many new names! I think it has been almost 2 years since I've actually posted anything...I can honestly say things have only gotten worse with SD (now 7). Although BM and I have been getting along wonderfully! But now even BM and her hubby are noticing that something is very, very wrong with SD. She has some attachment issues and serious behavior problems. She has become increasingly violent and clingy.
