that DH and BM apparently have when it comes to sKids because I honestly just don't see it.

They aren't bad kids - I mean I have seen worse - I guess I am just not as easily impressed as they are. But I am getting better about just shaking my head and walking away. If they are okay with it then I can be too.

I think its funny (in a sad way) though that sKids have been here less than 24 hours and there are already so many things that would make a normal person stop and think "really?"

Today I sent SS7 to school with tooth paste in his hair (I did try to get it out) because he tried to brush his hair with his tooth brush. I sent him in the bathroom to brush his hair and teeth (i got it all ready and laid it all out on the counter for him as usual), when I heard her say "oh no" I went to check on him. I asked him what was wrong and he made some weird gesture to me and said "You know?". I replied with "No I really don't know. What did you do?" He replied to me that he got tooth paste in his hair and how it got there, which by the way is not something I would have ever guessed because logical people don't mistake their tooth brush for their hair brush.

SS7 also bit his lip this morning and it was bleeding but I didn't say anything to him because then he just freaks out. He apparently never noticed.

Last night BM dropped SKids off tired as usual. We asked SS7 when the last time he had a bath was and he said Thursday. We asked when the last time he put lotion on was and he said today but he did it himself. So we got him in the shower and he is all broke out, like really bad. He told DH that he hadn't noticed it but you could tell were he had been scratching it. DH txt'ed Bm to tell her about it and she called him back wondering what he was 'accusing' her of. He said nothing he was just letting her know. She said that they had a bath last night he was not broke out - seriously BM if you are going to lie you need to start coordinating your lies with SS7 but it's hard to tell if SS7 knows what he is talking about he usually can't remember what he had for breakfast. He says they stayed at Grandma's house last night so how would BM know? She was probably doing the pub crawls.

SS7 also managed to sit on BOTH of my cats last night. The first I let slide because the cat was by the window covered by a curtain and SS7 went to sit on the chest (that he is not supposed to sit on) and knock the cat into the window to which it moved and glared at him. Then later I was down working in my art area when SS7 came down to read. I watched him climb into the 'bucket' chair and sit right on my other cat. The cat meowed and surprisingly enough didn't run away. I told him he was sitting on her and he turned a little to see her and said "Oh I didn't see her". The cat finally got out from under him and got down. She came over and sat by me for awhile. I don't think he hurt her. AS for not seeing her, she is 13lbs and build like a horse. It was a light blanket in the chair and she is a dark grey cat. Even if he didn't see her I would have thought he would have felt or heard her!

SS5 hasn't been too bad but he s so bossy lately. I think it may be and age thing.

Also they are getting SS7 tested in June for an attention problem. I don't point things out any more though because they both just tell me "He is just a little boy." - He'll be 8 in May. He's not that little.
