Well, the bad news is that FDH is stuck in an aiport all day today and won't be coming home from his business trip until like 1AM. But the good news is that my house will not be invaded by Skids tonight!

It feels like a couple of pounds were just lifted from my shoulders. No stress tonight.

Just thought I'd share my glimmer of relief.

Yeah and it sucks that I miss him and wanted to spend time with him tonight after the kids go to bed (now that's funny). But oh well.

You'll love this.

FDH just texted saying he was letting BM know he'd be home too late to get them. I know BM will be mad because she's ALL about her free time and I am sure she had planned to go stay with her BF tonight. And of course, everything, including bad weather and airport delays are somehow his fault.

I texted back "And before it comes up, NO, you cannot stay with the kids at BM's tonight!" Seriously, I will be really shocked if this doesn't come up as BM's solution to his late arrival. She thinks it's completely reasonable to have him come stay at her house.

That explains Bm I.Q.! lol! And don't dare start watching them because once that starts its hard to stop and everybody takes you for granted. Wished I had a night with out SS. My Dh is fishing. See what I mean. LOL

Fortunately, for me, FDH is of the correct opinion that their visits here are to see him and that it doesn't make sense for them to come if he's not here. He also pretty much knows that I would not be interested in picking them up and bringing them here. So, he didn't even suggest that. Now, wouldn't be surprised if BM comes up with that solution. No way, no how.

When I met FDH he used to stay over there all the time. He stopped doing it after a while (and lots of complaining by me). But she thinks if she's not there it should be OK. Like when she had to travel for work for a week, he actually went and stayed there all week. I was super annoyed. My FDH always thought I was just being jealous. No... it's just an inappropriate thing to do. When I was a single mom and had to travel, I got an overnight sitter, like a normal person. Our counselor recently explained to him that under no circumstances was it appropriate for him to be hanging out in her house like he's still married to her, whether she's there or not. That stopped the every Tues thing where he'd visit the kids there. Things have gotten SO much better between us, since then.
