I'm irritated with FH right now...

So, I called FH today and asked him when his EX-wife would drop the skids sport's stuff off...well he tells me that he talked to his ex this morning and said that she was in the hospital this weekend twice and they told her that she can't drive...so he would have to come pick the kids crap up. Although, I know she went to SS9 football game on Saturday (which by the way her husband is an assistant coach). So, what I'm thinking is that she had to go to the hospital twice on Sunday???

I'm soooo mad right now!

FH has been trying to get me out with friends of mine that I've had for a long time but I've been hesitant. I have been hesitant because I stay out way too long...feel like crap the next day and they are all single and all want me to be their "wingman" which is really not right, now that I'm committed. FH doesn't understand why I don't want to go out with my single friends anymore but I see that I need to explain it to him...yes, I need to keep in contact with my friends but I just dont feel the need to go "out" (which is always a bar or night club) with them!

FH told me tonight that he had a drug problem...

First, I have to say that I am TOTALLY AGAINST drugs and have made that VERY clear to FH. I'm not saying that I've never tried anything...pot twice but nothing else. I've been around just about everything but haven't given in. So, FH blurted out tonight that he had a problem with coke. It brought me to tears not just because I'm against it, not because I've seen what's it's done to some of my family members but because he couldn't tell me about his past and feel I wouldn't stick by him.

FH sent me a text at 2:30 this afternoon

FH sent me a text at 2:30 this afternoon to tell me that he was "stopping for a few"...meaning beers. His kids get home at 3:00 pm so I was a bit pissed that he left it up to me to take on the responsibily to care for them...since he see's it as 75% to 25% parenting. So, I was more mad when he came home completely drunk, and admitted it. He apologized to me for having way too many but I'm still pissed about it. Because he couldn't get his shit straight tonight, we picked SS9 up from football a half an hour late.

Why do I have to always be the responsible one?

FH left this morning with SD13 to take her to a softball tournament, which is an hour away. I got up shortly after they left to let my four-legged kids out and noticed they forgot her softball bag which has her helmet, glove, bat, etc. So, I call FH and let him know they forgot it...I save him an hour trip up there, an hour trip back and an hour trip back up there. I'm sitting here thinking though that I feel more responsible for HIS kids than he does. Why should I feel like that?!?! I mean they are HIS kids!! Are divorced dad's always like that?

Breakthrough with SD13

FH laid into SD13 last night pumping her for info about BM and her husband. We don't do that as a couple...ask the skids about BM and what she and her husband are doing. However, FH got a bug up his ass tonight and felt the need to ask. He REALLY doesn't like their step-dad and apparently he doesn't want the skids to like him either... I was sitting there for the whole conversation and FH had some really good points about BM and her husband (about abuse and wanting to keep the skids safe) but the way he did it was wrong.

I let FH get the skids ready for school this morning and it ended up being a disaster...

So, FH doesn't think I do anything all day even though I get his kids off to school, make their lunches, clean the house EVERY day, take care of the dogs, do everyone's laundry, make dinner every night, truck skids around for sports or after school and do outside work, run errands, grocery shop and make sure the bills are paid. So, FH was home this morning when skids got up and went to school so I decided I'll let him deal with the morning routine including dealing with the skids arguing and all... So, I got to sleep in till 9:30am till I had to take FFH to pick up his work vehicle.

Thank goodness I'm not 1000 lbs in the same bed as FH!

I'm not the skinniest person ever but I am thinner than FH....he's not huge or anything but he always hogs the bed like he's the only one in it and it pisses me off! My OWN MOM gave us a king size bed and he has to sleep in it like he's the one in it...I have a corner of the bed every night and sleep like I'm in a crib basically. FH snores on top of it! Any suggestions as to how to keep him on his side without beating him would be appreciated.

So, every time I'm hurt or there's an emergency I call my brother!

I have always turned to my brother...he has always been there for me no matter what and never judges....I guess it's just an instict to call him for help cuz I know he'll be there....however HE'S hurting right now and I don't know how to help him. He got a close friend of ours pregnant and she aborted it without telling my brother...she did tell my bro of the situation AFTER she had the abortion... (don't get me wrong..I have always believed that it is a woman's choice and so does my brother) however I KNOW he's having a hard time with the news and I am also.
