I stink at Blogging

Wow! Has it really been since September. I know that I am only blogging for me but I really suck at this. It is one of those little things that gets shoved to the bottom of the to do list over and over again. Everything else seems to come firsts.

A great deal has happened since I last blogged. I am still "On My Own" I know that it is the best thing for me but it is difficult and kinda sucks.

My daughters cheerleading squad that I was the assistant coach of won the championship. They did great, that happened in October. Halloween was fun, my mom and I made her outfit, she was Hermione from Harry Potter. My mom made her cape and I made did the Gryffindor seal for the cape. It was a lot of fun. Her dad went off on us over his time and his weekends. She seems to be getting busier and busier as she gets older. Cheerleading, drama club, Girl Scouts just to name a few. I have a very active child. She wants to experience everything however her dad seems to think that his time should come first and nothing should be scheduled on his weekends. Welcome to the real world bud, it doesn't work that way.

November got even more interesting. Jerk "daughters father" Queen B "his wife" and The Faker "His mom, Grammy" decided to gang up on her a few weeks before Thanksgiving trying to get her to say that she didn't want to go to Myrtle Beach with my mom and I and spend Thanksgiving with them. They gave her the day to think about it and she came back to say she wanted to go with me. You see, my baby would never do something that she thought would upset me or hurt my feelings and by them pushing for her to make a decision it did not work in their favor. I didn't find any of this out until I called down there to let them know that she had a field trip on the Friday he was to pick her up and he went off on me. He accused me of brainwashing her. What he doesn't get is that if he had just talked to me first then things could have been completely different. After talking to my baby about the holiday and letting her know that I would be okay if she wanted to spend the holiday with them she choose to go. They made it out to be some major thing. She came home a little disappointed. I have to admit that made me very happy. (A lot more happened with this but I won't bore you with all the details now, more later)
December was normal, busy, but with the holiday and everything it is always busy!

My best friend lost his mom this month. This has made me realize what my life would be like without my parents. Very scary, you see because my daughters dad is such a jerk and lives so far from here they help me so much. He has been at my place for the last week. I must admit that it is hard for me to have someone around so much. I am so used to being alone except for "A" (my daughter) that I feel smothered. I am trying hard to step out of this but old habits are hard to break.

I picked up "A" today from Jerks, she was telling what that Queen B told her that "Brat" their daughter does not sleep when "A" is there and that it is her fault. "A" has been telling me for years not that Brat wakes her up and keeps her up late. My daughter is so afraid of getting yelled at by Queen B that she just didn't say anything. It really hurt her feelings. I still haven't decided how to approach this one yet. I am over her making my baby feel bad, I would just love to knock QB out one day.

Sorry for such a random post tonight. My thoughts are all over the place.
