SD10 has been pulling out ALL of her eyelashes for about 6 months now. It kind of freaks me out. I really try not to look at her.

DH is looking into therapy (school suggested it). Which is good and something I suggested 6 months ago, but whatever.

Anyone ever deal with it? It's totally bizzare to me.

It's been a while since I've been on, but this was funny and I had to share... House Rules

I had been having some issues with my son, primarily with getting homework done, so I made him a list. We'll as I was writing it, I realized that maybe a list like this would help DH, with his kids (mostly the one) behavioral problems. So I drafted one that encompassed everthing and DH liked it. Here is the list... (My 3 rules for my son have always been respect, responsibility and accountibility - so I tried to lay them out under each header)

Respect

OT-Tell me its the economy....

I an not the crying type and I have been fighting back tears all day.

This past year I have worked hard. I have gone through two managers in one dept and changed depts as well, another new manager. I feel so overlooked and slighted right now.

I'm wondering if I should even bother going beyond the minimum anymore?

This is the first time in my working life that I have not gotten a raise.

Mothers and Hamsters

After a hamster gives birth, it hides its babies in a giant, intricate nest. she doesn't want to let them wander away and keeps them hidden as long as she can.

SOME hamsters will eat their babies if they perceive a threat to the babies or themselves (like moving the nest around to see the babies). OTHERS will merely "yell" at you, let you know they are upset and go on to fix the nest so that it is even more secure.

Another Theory... this one is about women turning 29

Another theory by Dennis Prager:

Twenty-nine is a key age for women. Something happens around this age that makes a woman begin to question her life, the basic stuff – who am I, what are am doing with my life, and do I want a career or a home or both.

This one I completely agree with 100%. I have seen it over and over again in my life.

Even for me: When I turned 29 I finally decided that I wanted to find a relationship again, that I deserved one. Prior to that I was focused on being a mom. All of a sudden at age 29 I looked at myself and said "what are you doing?"

Theory about BM's/women

Dennis Prayer has a theory. ...

That you should steer clear of women who don't have at least one very close friend.

He said it's because if they don't they aren't good at relationships.

Just thinking about this in relation to the bm's...do they have at least one really close friend?

Mine has friends but none that I would call close.

A little inspirational bit I found online....

This is for the women who started this journey thinking " I can make this work." For the women who had their dreams shattered and were left to pick up the pieces of family life.

The women who find themselves up during the night with a child who they didn't give birth to, because they are sick and their Dad is sleeping through. For SMOMS who sat through the vomit, the snot, the coughing, sneezing and whining.

Do you find Child Support actually fair?

Sorry for being a bloghog, but I have questions today....

In my case what I get from my X I think is fair since he only sees our son once a month or so, not even always overnight. So guidelines seem to be fair in that sence, my home provides 99%+ of the food, shelter, clothing, extras, time.

But in my Dh's case, he has the skids every weekend. He feeds them 7 meals a week and spends 32 awake hours with them.
BM has them M-F, she feeds them 9 meals a week and spends 14 awake hours with them.

One word description of BM & One statement to say to her

Okay, so I just posted this big rant about things I want to say to her then deleted it because it was just too long. What a waste of my life. But at the same time it needed to be written to get it out of me. Last night Dh had me proof read an email to BM, and I told him that he might not want me editing it! HAHA!

So okay, One word to describe her: PATHETIC
One statement to say to her: GROW UP you pathetic excuse for a human being!

Sorry for posting an email, but this one has some terrific advice!

1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt.... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.
