Lots of updates and b*tching

So I know it has been awhile. How are you girls doing? I found out on Thursday that the last official day our office will be open will be the 10th. So I will be laid off officially after that. I was going to go back that Friday, but since I still had 2 EIB days left and they weren't going to pay them out like they do the PTO then I would just not go back in. Plus I figured it didn't make sense to go back for just one day. I had been asking my boss for 2 plus weeks when my final day was and of course they were giving me the run around. So hear I am starting my job hunt. My Dr hopefully will be taking me with him (keep your fingers crossed). I know for sure his new office has a surgery scheduler possition open and I could do that from home, but I really would like the office manager possition that will possibly be opening up.
Jeremy is doing awesome. He is growing like a weed. I believe he is about 10lbs now. On Tuesday he was 9lbs 5 oz and has been gaining 8.5 to 9.5 ounces a week. He is the love of my life, let me tell you. I never knew I could love someone so much. We have had some bouts with gas and they always seem to hit him at night and he just screems.
Now on to my b*tching. SS is in football this year. DH and I have been doing 99% of the driving because BM can't seem to ever get him to practice on time. 98% of the time she doesn't even show up to practice, she ends up meeting us at our house after practice then asks how it goes and such. If you really want to know maybe you should show up. SS has decided that he wants to stay at our house every friday night so that he will make it to the game on time. Anyway, when she shows up to the games she never brings her own chair. Her mom sometimes will bring a chair, but typically she takes it upon herself to sit in one of our 2 chairs. Well we have 3 people, that usually share the chairs, Me, DH, and BIL. She will just sit on down like we provided it for her, not even asking or thanking us for the use of the chair. Then she proceeds to talk to me and my inlaws like we care. She never really even watches the game. On top of that if I go over and talk to one of the other moms, who has become a friend of mine, she feels the need to come interupt. I have no problem getting along for SS's sake, but she really tries to over do it and make herself look like the model mom. I'm so tired of her bogarting my husband and my chair the whole game. I'm sure this sounds petty, but she really gets on my nerves. On top of that we know she talks smack about SS playing football to SS. He was starting to enjoy himself and all the sudden yesterday he really didn't care about it.

Re: Lots of updates and b*tching
Good luck with the job hunt and hope you get that possition you want.
I can totally relate to you about SS games. My SS misses EO Wednesday for football practice, bc BM feels that she should not have to bring him since its her parenting time. DH has offered to pick him up and bring him home so he wont have to miss it. Even though its CO that she has to provide the transportation. BM told my DH that its his fault he is missing practice and he needs to schedule SS activities on his parenting time.
Well I guess my last post was lost in the upgrade. Does your BIL and/or DH want to use the chair? Or are they on their feet the whole time watching the game? If they want the chair then they need to sit their butts in it and BM has no right to use it. If it's just an empty chair sitting there then I wouldn't worry about her in it.
And enjoy your few extra days home with Jeremy. I hope you get a good job soon, but enjoy being home. hey, get some more rent money from BIL to supplement the pay.
I replied last night, but I guess my post was lost in the transition. This new board format SUCKS!!!
Okay, what I had suggested was that you spend $8 at Wal-Mart and buy the B her own chair. She's being rude, but it sounds like any attempt to get through to her with some manners would be lost, so why bother. Get her a chair, at the end of the game, tell her to take it home with her. Then at least you're not being denied your seat and she can take responsibility for schlepping her own chair back and forth.
Also, I think it's great that football is bringing you, SS, and DH together. It's great you're getting some extra time with him. = )
