What got her blocked were the hateful Pms sent, and once I blocked her, hateful text messages blowing up my phone. Nope. Not gonna play. Burn that shit down. Hopefully your husband saw these PMs and texts and is telling his aunt in no uncertain terms that she is never to contact either of you again. She's my mom's sister, but yes, he was supportive of that. Mom was too

K is mostly back to normal. Sleep deprived a bit because we didn't get to bed until 2am. I gave her kid Tylenol at 830. She's chattering away at dh while they make muffins from a mix. I took some Tylenol and figure I can hide for about 30 more minutes. So sorry you had to take your daughter back to the ER. Before my gallbladder surgery, zofran was my best friend. It didn't always work towards the end.

You can come hang out in mine. I have vodka. I can't do hard liquor, do you have beer? If so, I could use a nice soft padded room for a few days, weeks, or maybe months. I do. I love beer. Yay! It's a party!

DD13 is turning into such a teenager. The boys never went through this. It's so weird to deal with and not take personally.

Yesterday I sent DD to stay with my brother for 5 days. My brother has 3 girls close to her age and they adore each other. She's back now. Am I a bad mom because I'm disappointed? I was looking forward to time with DS.

Neither of us made the teenage years easy for her. My sister and I didn't do the same things either since our personalities are so different.

Swamp, any chance she'll decide to go back?
We've gotten off relatively easy (so far) with the boys. I guess it's only fair we don't get off easy with all 4.

Sorry, swamp. You want her to feel comfortable but you still want a break. Being a mom is full of sucky choices where there is no right answer. ♡

It may take awhile but she is so lucky to have you and she will realize it. Maybe not until she is grown, but she will. ♡ I saw my sister give up a LOT for her stepkids because she loves them as fiercely as the kids she gave birth to. Her stepdaughters put her through hell in their teen years, but she stuck with them. And now that the oldest is grown and has a child of her own, she is super close to my sister and has said many times how grateful she is for my sister and how much she loves her.

Today I went to get a blood test to make sure my HCG levels are 0 or at least closer to 0. If not, then to discuss options. I did, then just need to get my period.
The diagnosis code is Missed Abortion. 😡😔 Who decided that missed abortion is a "good" name for a miscarriage? 😔😣

Hey, Sam. I thought about you over the weekend. We had 50% off the clearance at work and I now own 2 Royals shirts.

You all want to hear a funny story? Well, I guess I am going to type it out anyway so skip if you want, lol!
DH's car died around 6 weeks ago - blown head gasket, cracked radiator, basically our mechanic said it needed a new engine and he recommended not repairing it. This guy has always been great with our cars so we trusted when he said the car was a goner. Of course this happened right after I had started the process to do a consolidation HELOC to get some traction on some of our debts. The process for the loan is taking for freaking EVER. We can't get a car loan right now without messing up the HELOC process and certainly didn't have the cash to just go buy one. My sister has graciously lent her car to us for the last 5 weeks (she has a company car and on the weekends they use her husband's truck as the family vehicle anyway, so her car is rarely used). We sent in the title on DH's car to donate it to our local NPR station. Turns out the place changed offices, the mail got forwarded, and they didn't get the title until this last Friday even though we sent it 3 weeks ago. They called DH and said they couldn't take it because *I* didn't sign something. GAH!!!!!! So they are mailing the title back. And the loan is just one thing after another - the process STILL isn't finished and I am about to say forget it except we are already in it this far. So annoying. It's taking longer than our mortgage did in the first place!!!
On the way to church yesterday, J was telling DH how sad he was about the car. J really REALLY loved DH's car. "Im sorry your car is broken, dad. But it's ok. It will get fixed." No, hun, it won't get fixed. Daddy will have to buy a new car in a little while. "No, it can get fixed!! It will take 3 hours." Ok bud.
Well, yesterday at church, DH's dad said he had been talking to a mechanic friend who knew of one more trick to try that could possibly get the car running. Low and behold - three hours later - DH's car runs just fine. The guy only charged DH $150.
So DH comes home, we load up the kids, I run him back by his parents' house to get the car. I take the kids home and make dinner and called my sister to talk about getting her car back over to her. Then DH calls. About a half mile from the entrance to our neighborhood he got rear-ended by a texting teenager. He's fine, she's fine, his car is really fine (cracked the bumper), but her car is probably totaled.

That sucks, Sam. I told both girls that if they ever caused an accident because they were texting that I'd kill them if the accident didn't.

(also I have this to look forward to x2) I only had boys, but my mom had to do this FIVE times. The first and the last were by far the hardest according to her. Makes sense since my baby sister and I are very similar in many ways...
