Having the Skids 2 days a week is such a nice change from having them full time. I feel like the stress in my life has decreased almost in half. When they're not here I don't think about them, we don't talk about them, and same with BM. (It's not the kids that bother me, it's just that seeing them or hearing about them just makes me think of BM who I absolutely detest.) Out of sight out of mind.

BF and I recently moved into our new house and throughout the move I found ALOT of random things of BM's that kind of bothered me...

- an entire album of pictures of her, him and her son (SS9)
- BM's medical bracelet from when she was in the hospital giving birth to SS3
- old love ltters from BM
- a random picture of her posing in a bikini framed *BARFFFFF*
- clothes and shoes belonging to her
- a video titled "BM's amazing gift <3" [in HER writing.. judging by the DATE I can only assume it's SS3's birth on film.. BARF BARF BARF !!!!]

I don't know how well/if any of you follow my blog or are familiar with my story, but to sum it up - we had custody of SS9 and SS3 for the summer because BM was in detox/homeless. Beginning of September she was returned custody and being bitter and blaming us for her loss of the children, she began to withhold them. BF is extremely passive with her and would rather avoid conflict because BM will PAS the Skids against him if he so much as raises an eyebrow at her. So he, to date, has done nothing.

And told BM he could only watch the kids until when I got off work last night. Turns out she only needed a babysitter for 2 hours anyway, just didn't want to have to come back into town twice. I guess he told her that if she wanted him to watch them they had to be gone by 8pm at the latest. And for whatever reason she obliged! I got home, saw the SKids for all of 10min and then they left. BF had them make me little birthday cards, which were pretty cute. As soon as I walked through the door SS3 was like, "Sammmx!
