Bitch moment: DHs X sent the kids to us AGAIN with shoes that are falling apart so we spent another $70 on new shoes for them. Good thing we send her that child support $ each month.
And she sent out youngest with one pill left so that was another $40 to get his prescription refilled
Ugh I'm so sorry. I'm thankful the kids have you both in their life. Co-parenting seems terrifying and difficult. I deal with a lot of kids at school with this situation. We can always tell when they are with the shitty parent and when they are with the good one. Big hugs

Thanks the shitty part is that they're only with us 4 days/month.
DH said after today that he's going to start looking into lawyers to see what we can do. I think technically she can blow that money on whatever she wants (she has 2 mortgages and doesn't seem in any rush to sell her old place) but it's still very frustrating that she is irresponsible with that $ and not putting it to what it's for.
On a happier note - it's really nice here today! And we figured out why the trailer awning wouldn't open so I'll be able to clean that this afternoon. What's everyone else up to?
I went yard sailing with my mom this morning, we got a ton of great stuff. Lots of baby toys, a play pen for $5, and a bike rack for my car for $1. I'm very happy with our loot.
I'm out running errands. Just stopped for gas and it's almost at $2.00/gallon! I love living by the beach, but everything gets so much more expensive in the summer.
Lol gas here hasn't dropped below $2/gallon since like January. Womp womp. But really though, compared to the prices of a couple years ago, and what it will likely rise to again, I can't complain.
I'm about to go shopping for decorations and prizes for my cousins bridal shower. It's a lovely day here so I am happy for that.
I walked in our local March for Babies this morning. Just hanging out for the rest of the day and then tomorrow we have our last open house before taking the house off the market. This whole last 8 months have been a huge waste of time and money.

Do you think she does it on purpose as she knows you will pay for it when she sends the kids?

Ray maybe he could work something out with the pharmacy so he can directly pay them, then deduct that monthly amount from child support. Keep the receipts just in case?

Guaranteed. She'll do the same for haircuts, he's out of pull-ups, etc.
Ray I'm sorry that has to be so frustrating. You would think the court would be able to do something especially if the kids don't even have decent shoes.
I'm just chilling playing super mario with DS while DD naps. She threw a toy at him this morning and gave him a fat bloody lip, first time she's actually really hurt him.
I'm hoping to go to some rummage sales at some point this weekend.

I'm sorry. Sending good vibes that someone comes by tomorrow and puts in an offer! Buying and selling properties can be such a nightmare.

Took DS for a hike this morning, he loved watching the ducks and turkey vultures!
Then I finished the second coat on his big boy room. I need to order a dresser so I can get his things arranged in there. I'm itching to open up my 0-3 months bin of clothes and oogle the itty bitty onesies!

My ILs took DS for the day and DD is with her dad so we had the day to ourselves. We took naps, went out to lunch, went and got high chairs (clearance for $30 each).
Now I need H to clean the house back up. He fully cleaned last weekend and keeps using that as an excuse as to why he hasn't done any chores. No dude. There is laundry, vacuuming, and dishes that I've done daily since then.

Maybe this should wait for a TMI Tuesday, but with everything down there feeling so swollen I decided to use my phone to take a pic and see if it looked as swollen as it felt. Holy cow Batman! If you are having this problem don't look! It's not worth it! I told H it looked crazy and he asked to see the pic and was like "that looks so painful!!" Yeah no kidding.
Oh no housecarder! I'm not swollen, but dh and I had sex last night and I can barely walk or sit down today. It wasn't anything crazy, maybe even a little tame because it hurt a little.

I think I'll join the swollen club soon
We haven't had sex in weeks. We tried a week or two ago and he had to stop because he thought about the babies being able to feel it and freaked himself out.
Walking and lying a certain way seems to cut off circulation down there right now though. Not something I experienced with my other two pregnancies.

That sucks. I also feel your pain. We've had no movement on ours either.
housecarder, Mh keeps asking me if I want him to check it out down there. No dude. I did a mirror check and it's just not looking good.
Re: sex. The only comfortable position that doesn't leave me in pain during or after is missionary. Idk how to do that. It's supposed to be romantic right? Do we make eye contact? Do we look at other shit? I'm obviously a fuxking weirdo.

Yeah missionary is weird for us too. Plus he worries that he'll squish the babies.
