So captain called today and guess what that craptacular father cannot come up for his son's birthday. He gave me some sob story about how if he takes the time for his son's birthday he will not have a job to come back to. Ok that may be true so why does he continue to work there? I mean if they are not understanding about his son and needing some time off then maybe the paternal figure should find another job????
It pisses me off so much!! He has not made one desicion where he thought about his son since we split up, he only thinks about himself and that erks the crap out of me!! A woman who has known me for a while and knew the ex when we were married called last night and was telling me how much she thinks he has changed and she too pointed out that he doesn't make any desicions with his son in mind. I am glad I am not the only one who sees it.
I would really like go to GA and hit him in the head so that maybe it will knock some sense into him. I know that it won't do any good so there is no point wasting my time I realize this but I still want to go beat his ass!!!

Birthday Drama
The monster's turning 9 in a few weeks and I am getting things together for it. I don't go into big plans anymore b/c between both families and the friends that we invite we are up to almost 100 people!! I cannot do a big themes for this many people so instead I rented a moon bounce and will host a BBQ at my parents house. It will be fun, I hope, it was last year.
So tonight after I tell the monster to go to bed he decides we need to talk b/c he no longer wants his dad to come to his party. What am I supposed to do with that? He is really upset with his father and complains to me but will not try talking to his father. I am not going to tell his father not to come. I think the monster would be very upset if his dad didn't come even if the father doesn't come b/c the monster told him not to. I have no idea how to make this right?
I think part of this was b/c the monster was tired and getting ready to go to bed but this has become a common theme with our conversations about his father. I have to say that I normally do not bring up his father b/c I don't want to deal with it, to be honest. I know he is upset and I keep telling him to talk to his father and I keep telling his father what he says but it gets no where. I feel like I am in the middle of this and cannot get out. Neither of them is willing to communicate with the other. The most annoying thing about this is that his father is an adult and needs to try something!!! I am tired of this shit but I get it, his father is remarried with another family and doesn't care about his son anymore, it makes me mad and admittedly bitter! It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

He's Married...WTF????
ARG! my ex husband is re-married!!!
I do not know why this bothers me but it sure as shit does! He finally shows up with the monster at 4pm today after all the drama of not being able to leave on time then the fight we had yesterday where he called me an irresponsible parent b/c he claims I sent the kid with wholly cloths and cloths that didn't fit. Although he has let the health insurance lapse again but he is not irresponsible???? ARG!!!
So back to the marriage thing...why does he get another happy ending?
What the hell did I do wrong so that I cannot find even someone to date? I am online and nothing, I am active in my church and nothing, I go out with the girls and nothing. What should I be doing? I am just annoyed right now. Why why why?????

Oh the drama!!
The ex has struck again. For the purpose of this blog he will be referred to as captain Jack short for captain Jackass!
How it all started this week:
Wednsday I get a call from the monster and it goes something like this:
"Hi Mama, I will be leaving GA at 5 on Friday, I will see you some time Sunday"
Me: 5pm?
Him: "yes"
Me: "so you won't be here on Friday like you were supposed to"
him: no
Me: "can I talk to your father?
him: "he's at work"
Me: "is his girlfriend around?"
him: "she's sleeping"
Me: "wonderful"
Call ends after a little bit more useless conversation.
I am fuming at this point so I call captain jack at work to find out what is going on. He tells me that I don't need the monster back until Monday so what is the big deal. The big deal??? Is that you didn't have the courtsey to tell me things had changed. He tells me that he got stuck working b/c someone quit, ok that is fine I understand that and had he told me I would have been annoyed but now I am pissed.
Mind you I have been fuming since finding this out. I want to talk to captain again but he is always working so I can't. Since I am mad I decide I need to talk to him about health insurrance since he is supposed to cover the monster.
Today I call and talk to the monster and ask if his father is around and of course captain is no where to be found so I talk to the girlfriend. I explain that the reason I am pissed is b/c I had to ask when the monster would be coming home and he didn't tell me things changed. I understand stuff happens. Well she lets slip out that the reason they aren't leaving until late is b/c...SHE has to work until 3pm and then HER kids aren't getting picked up until around 5pm. She told me she told captain to just bring the monster home without but he said no. I believe this b/c he cannot stand to be away from his significant other. Maybe he is afraid she will wise up and see that he is a no good little man that cannot make it on his own and is full of bullshit and whines too much and doesn't take responsibility for his own actions.
Sorry for the tangent...
Back to the conversation with the girlfriend. I tell her that I still need to talk to captain about health insurrance b/c he was supposed to have it for the monster 2 months ago and she simply states he didn't get it. So I tell her, its in the agreement that he will take care of that and he needs to have the common curtsey to tell me these things and not make me ask.
So now I am livid!!!!! LIVID!!!! I will be putting together all the information I have and taking him to court for repayment of past crap I have paid for the 60% of out of pocket medical expenses from when he lost his job before. Also I want full custody, this isn't working anymore and he isn't making any effort.
Last year I said I wouldn't send the monster to GA again and now I am sure of it. I plan to sign the monster up for baseball which means he won't be available until around the fourth then I want him to go to church camp which will put him not being available until the 3rd or 4th week in July and I will find something else for him to do as well so that it if he goes down he only gets 2-3 weeks. Then if the monster fights me, I am siding with him! I am done being nice!
Now this is posted as a reminder to myself when I start being nice, please remind me about this so I go through with it.

Interesting story
http://www.wbaltv.com/news/20124542/detail.html
This is a story I saw on the news tonight and had to look it up. Three Baltimore boys ages 7,8, and 11 were arrested for stealing from their neighbor. They were handcuffed, taken in a paddy wagon to the juvenile detention center and held for about 2 hours.
Part of me thinks this is a pretty good idea b/c they will hopefully learn early that their are consequences for their actions. But another part of me thinks they are too young to be arrested. However the question arises if they had not been caught by police would they have continued down this path? One of the children is quotes as saying he and his friends saw his neighbors bikes, scooter, and go-kart and decided to take them. Why did they think it was a good idea to take something that wasn't theirs? It boggles my mind. I saw a clip of one of the moms talking and she didn't seem to get that her son did wrong and should be punished.
I am trying to think about what I would do if the monster was to get into trouble for stealing and I know I would be embarrassed but I think I would support the cops b/c they were following the rules and my child was not. I am still at odds with how I feel but it is interesting...

Accountablility
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31920273/
If you read this article pay attention to the last paragraph. It made me laugh that neither the bank nor credit card company will answer how this happened and each points the finger at the other, makes me think this is the reason why there is a partnership between banks and credit card companies so that neither is help accountable for issues.
In this case I think it was an input error at the store but funny how neither one would say anything...

Life
As I sit here tonight watching the boob tube and playing around online I miss the monster soo much! I know I only have 23 days until he comes home but feels like to long. I actually mapquested from my town to where he is at, its only 12 hours away. I could leave tomorrow night after work, stop off at my friends, 6 hours away and then continue to him on Friday afternoon. Spend Sat with him and head back Sat night. It would be a whirl win trip and I would not be able to celebrate the 4th at all but I would be able to see him.
I know this is a crazy idea and I would need at least another day to not feel so rushed. I don't want to spend an evening at my ex's house so I would need to find a place to stay. Logistically this is a horrible idea but right now at home with my cats watching me it feels like a pretty good one.
I have spent the past 3 weeks busy as hell and rarely home and now I see why...this sucks!!!
I also just accepted a new position with a friends company so I will not have the luxury of the time to go get him if that is needed. I am nervous about this new job, I know its fear of the unknown that is bugging me but its still bugging me.
Yep being home and not busy SUCKS!!!!
