It's been a while that I have blogged, but I have comment here and there as I have time. Though time for me is something more like a commodity these days.

On the work and personal front everything is fabulous. Our new house is coming along with paint and furniture. My job is well a job hopefully leading to something more and my business is booming slowly and steady.

The BM and Skids...hmmmm, things are well interesting. I'll start with BM because she is the most entertaining.

BM has gotten the BIG HINT! We blocked her number for about a week or a bit more and now she doesn't call to bug us at ungodly hours of morning or night. SD11 phone is being used more - which is fine by us, however, we have voice messages with BM coaching the girls in the background. NOT so good. But we are working on educating the girls on this issue without making anyone (specifically BM) seem to be a fault or wrong. Though I would like to just call the witch and tell her to stop doing this and placing the girls in the middle because it causes undue stress in their lives.

BM has decided to put SD11 back on the ADHD meds without consulting the therapist, not informing DH or informing the school. We learned of the meds on a weekend they were here and the meds fell out of SD11 bag (which is a diaper bag - another story all together). I asked SD11 why she was back on these and her reply "my mother said I am FAT and I need to get back on them so I can be SKINNY". Hello BM do you really want to use these specific words with an SD11 that already has no self esteem. UGH!!!

I told SD11 she was beautiful and didn't need meds to lose weight and that her mother shouldn't use meds to make everything better. YEP I said that! I can't stand it, this little girl is made to feel worse and worse about herself everyday by this witch of a mother.

So, the school finds out about the meds and contacts DH. DH tells him exactly how he found out, which is exactly what I described above. The teacher said that if SD11 gets one more referral she will be relocated to another school for children with behavior and emotional issues. She told DH that she feels that SD11 and BM do not understand the severity of such. Such feels that they think it's just a piece of paper and optional, which is not the case at all. She said it needs to be communicated to both that the circumstances for SD11 actions and BM actions will be that SD11 will not be able to attend the school, but ONLY this other school for children with behavior issues. UGH!!!

Figures BM and SD don't understand. SD11 has watched her mother belittle, insult, manipulate and abuse everyone, me, DH, her mother, her sisters, etc. and nothing happens to her. SD is doing the same thing. She is insulting, bullying and abusing other kids in her class and she feels nothing will happen to her. She learned this behavior from the person that is her MOTHER!!! UGH!!

Concerning the girls...their behavior with us is fairly better than it has been in a while. We are making some progress with them, but it's only EOWE and then they go back to never never land with no rules, discipline or any kind of structure. It sucks for them and for us.

DH and I have had discussions about SD11 living with us fulltime and SD7 living with BM. Not sure how this would work, but we have to do something for this child.

Gotta run...everyone take care and be safe this holiday.
