I Gotta Mow The Lawn Saaaaaay Whaaat?!?!

So as some of you may know and many of you don't I am now a single mother. Yikes, I know.

So before I go on let me just say, this is MY blog and I can write whatever I want! The details of my life I wish to share will be shared. Those I do not wish to share will NOT be shared. With that said the comment box is not intended for questions, support, advice, and well wishes are always welcomed.

Ready, Set,.....Lets vent:
Nicas dad invited us all to go to dinner. It made me uncomfortable so I said no. He conveniently asked in front of the kids so of course Nica is upset. She asked if I minded if she went and her dad drop her off later, I didn't mind so.
Nica: Daddy can I go with you and Tia to Dinner, mommy said you can drop me off after?
Daddy: Janie, lets all go have dinner together
Me: I said no thank, I have a million things to do
Daddy: Sorry Nica mommy doesn't want to go so maybe next time.
I'm thinkin there are one of two things running through her head. 1.Mommy sucks for saying no and now I can't have dinner with my dad. OR 2.Daddy only wants me if he gets to have mom too.

This is the girls first weekend with their dad. They are very excited because they have missed him. They are packing some bags and they want to know if they can leave a few things at grandmas(where he is staying). I think it's a good idea and I want them to be comfy and have their things while they are gone so I said yes. Only that when I'm dropping off their stuff he says no. He doesn't want to keep any of their things there?!?!? I don't get it. Doesn't he want them to feel like they are a part of the his life? Including the life he lives at grandmas?
I know he is doing the best he knows how, this is hard on us all. But WOW how I would've like to take a baseball bat to his head, I was sooooo pissed!

So enough about him, let's talk about me for once! This week has been eye opening and TUFF!!! Apparently in order for the trash people to pick up your trash you actually have to take the bag out of the trash can and drag it to the end of your driveway.....who would have thought. It is impossible to get 2 children dressed and out the door on time if you wake up at 6:30AM. I have a new appreciation for lunchables! Did any of you know that the garbage disposal has a reset button??? Moving furniture by yourself SUCKS!!! This morning we are walking out the door and I'm trying to figure out what about the front of my house looks soooo terribly wrong. Wait.....think about it.......hmmmmmm..........OH MY HOLY COW "I" have to mow the lawn=/

On the upside, despite what some very negative people would like to think............I GOT THIS!!!!! I'm not good at it yet but give me time and you will see!!!!

Smiles,
