Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, Zoe~ma.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ugh. D's ex just called and threatened to not let M visit for the summer because she doesn't know what day camps he's signed up for.
That she doesn't feel he's "safe" here. I don't even know what that MEANS.
WTFF? People are so unintelligible to me, sometimes. They have joint legal and physical custody, AND she broke KS law by moving to another state without notifying the court or modifying the agreement. D has been more than accomodating of her craxy demands, so that M's well-being is put first, and...this?
Good freakin' grief.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
She's a game-player that one. Grrr.

She is. And it's so frustrating that she makes this hard, when it doesn't have to be. I can't believe that she would threaten to deprive her child of time with his father, whom he desperately loves, and who loves him, and over what?
Faux drama? It's ridiculous, and would make me sad, if I weren't so angry right now.
But it's something they will have to hammer out, no matter how much I would LOVE to take her to task, it's not my place. Good Lord, woman. He's got a loving father who bends over backwards to see to his needs, and try to keep a cordial relationship with you, even though you are the devil. Differing parenting styles does NOT = unsafe. Good lord.
Just because we can't afford the schmancy preppie camps you demand, and I don't have everything scheduled within an inch of his life with "playdates" and "enrichment activities" - dude, it's SUMMER. I'm a FREAKIN' TEACHER. It's ok to not be a helicopter parent. He gets to have some days with...nothing scheduled. GASP.
Ugh.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
She`s probably doing some dealing of her own about you being in his life. That`s a transition for her too.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
And it sounds to me like you have lots of plans
And I hated day camps.
But mostly i am glaring in her direction

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
and Liese is probably very right. And fair.

Oh, I know. And I get that.
But, with my objectivity hat on, she does 90% taking, and we do 90% giving. That's not equitable. I try to keep a sense of proportion about stuff, but I am slowly coming to side with D., that she creates drama from a need for it.
I'm sure she has some frustrations with D. being slowpoke communicator; I can totally see that. But her reactions are completely off-the-mark as far as reasonability goes. It's so damn adversarial.
Which in so strange to me since she's the one who had an adulterous relationship with the child in the house, the one who left the house in arrears, the one who came out financially on top. What's the what?

All is well that ends in pizza.
At 42 years old I've never had to buy a backpack. Where's a good place to get one, please? It needs to be a) under $50, b) long-lasting, and c) not butt-ugly.
I find that most sensible canvas and leather backpacks are found in university or college bookstores.
I have had success and longevity with an "Outbrook" brand one with a leather bottom.
