Two More Weekends to Go!

So - don't mean to brag but...

Was just looking over the calendar and planning my next month and a half and realized...

We have YSD this weekend. Then on the weekend of the 28th, when I will be out of town. Then we have her one weekend in May and then visitation is officially over!!!

I'm so ecstatic thinking about it. Two more weekends with that big greasy lout draping herself all over my stuff. Woot, woot! 

BM's Parents Scammed Out of Thousands. I'm Definitely Evil Because I Find This Hilarious.

I got home from work today and DH started telling me this story...and I was near tears laughing so hard by the time he was done. He was near tears, too, of course. Oh my word. 

So, apparently sometime this afternoon, BM started texting him (in a group text with OSD and YSD) in a panic, asking if anyone had heard from SS lately...and she was so, so, so, so worried about him! Has anyone heard from him since Tuesday?!?! 

DH had a momentary fear and then paused for a moment and asked what was up. Told her he'd texted with SS this morning.

Nope. So DONE with 'YSD Meetings' being added to my calendar. Nope, nope, nope.

I swear this college hunt / decision is going to be the death of me. 

It was YSD's weekend this weekend...but this week is her Spring Break, so I'm imagining she'll still be lazing around my house when I get home this afternoon. What sadist put Spring Break the week before taxes are due, anyway? 

So, I get to work today and I see a ping on my phone calendar. I check and it says: 'YSD College Meeting / Tuesday, 7:00 pm' and it was all I could do to keep from hurling my phone against the wall.

Will the Dread Ever Go Away?

YSD is coming for 'her weekend' today. Gross. 

She's about to be 18 and never does anything but laze around the house, picking at her feet, putting her gross, unshowered body all over my new furniture...never lifts a finger. Just texts and watches dumb Internet videos and listens to music all day. 

I'm so ready for her visits to be over. That's all. 

2 more months of Child Support and then she's 18 and graduated and not my problem anymore. 

 

OT - Anyone else miss the 'Recent Comments' on the side of the blog?

So...sorry to be a blog hog. Just wanted to say that I really miss the recent comments feature that used to be in the left sidebar. It was a great way to keep up with what people were talking about. Now I feel way more disconnected somehow. 

Anyone else? 

And...YSD Ate My Lunch. I Want to Scream.

It's going to sound so, so petty...but I am super angry right now because I just came home from work to discover YSD ate my lunch. Hapless DH was all like...Oh. Were there not anymore for us? She was supposed to call you to ask...didn't she? Um. 1.) I was at work and didn't have time to answer my phone, which had died anyway and, 2.) Is it really that difficult to look in the fridge and see how much food there is? YSD needs to call me to ask if there's any more?

YSD Doesn't Get Pell Grant...And I'm Incredibly Suspicious

So...this weekend we got a money panic email from BM, asking us what we though we/DH's parents can 'do' toward YSD's college plans. 

Apparently YSD doesn't qualify for the Pell Grant, which we thought she would based on her EFC. 

I am highly suspicious of this. BM technically has 2 other kids 'in college' who have both gotten financial aid. With 3 kids in college, she'd have to be making over 75K a year to NOT qualify for ANY aid at all (adjusted gross, not gross...and those three kids also bring that number down significantly, I thought).

So a couple weeks ago I was so upset the day DH and I had to leave on a big business trip because YSD had chased a feral cat into our crawlspace and then into the walls. I won't rehash the whole story but here's the link:

OT - Cat Dilemma (Why won't skids EVER listen?!)

I'm just...piping mad this morning and trying to calm myself down. So, I have these 3 feral cats that I feed and take care of. A mom and her two now-grown kittens. I've taken all 3 to the trap/neuter/release program at my local animal shelter, I have a little box with towels on my back deck that they all sleep together in...and I generally enjoy having them around.
