BM is letting us have the skids from Thursday until Sunday Christmas weekend...

Technically one is supposed to have the skids on Xmas Eve and the other on Xmas day, but BM told him that he can have them that whole weekend since she had them on Thanksgiving. She knows that we would like to take them with us to DF's family's big Christmas gathering out of town.

Wait, what??? BM being gracious??? We were discussing this turn in attitude and for a moment I thought that DF would go back into la-la-land and truly believe that BM is turning over a new leaf.

And then there's reason number 4,294,428 that I love my dear fiance -- he said:
"I hate when she does this because about 3 times a year she acts all good and nice and then I start thinking things are turning around, then a HUGE bomb drops. This time I'm just going to let it roll and not get my expectations up that she's changing."

Hooooray! He gets it.
