BM was supposed to pick up SS, 8, today at noon so she would take him to go see Santa at the mall with his little brothers, and my DH and I could spend this Christmas Eve afternoon together before he goes to his family function tonight. I'm not going tonight because his family has been awful to us and crossed way too many lines.

So BM calls an hour ago and says that we have to take him to the mall at 3, not noon, and that she wants my husband to videotape it because it's his last time visiting Santa at the mall. Yes, after Christmas, she is going to tell him there is no Santa. Evil person. Anyway, DH accepted whatever she said, so... afternoon ruined.

I told him after he got off the phone with her that he totally shafted me. I will now have to spend noon to 2:30 with my horrid SS running around my house, and then 2:30 to bedtime by myself, on Christmas Eve, probably just watching movies. Such a great Christmas present. Thanks DH.
