Today I am going to be brave..... Today I am going to write about something that I have never mentioned before.... Today I am going to write without abandon and not use my backspace key or delete this entry.....
Over at Mama's Losin It, Kat came up with some interesting things for this weeks writers workshop, simple, but effective....... I have chose #4 .....
4.) Write about something that bothered you this week.
I apologize in advance if I hack anybody off, so with that, here we go......
I have mentioned before that I am remarried to a wonderful man. who loves me and my 2 older children like they were his, and he has given my a beautiful daughter and a life that makes me happy. So if I am remarried, that means I was married before (unfortunately), but whenever I have to think about it, I always try to put a positive spin on it by saying that God knew I needed to be with him to have Mr. J and Miss. S , because the world be a very sad place without them. It also makes me acknowledge how wonderful my life is now, because I have something to compare it to.
I promise that I don't bash my ex-husband alot, I would soon rather forget and move on, but sometimes he just does things that seem to bring out this defensive, protective side of me, and I just want to shout at the top of my lungs what a douche he is. I will try to just cover the important parts, that relate to this writing topic, because if I tried to tell ya'll the whole ordeal, this would turn into a novel.
What bothered me this week is an ex-husband who is $16,000 behind in child support and thinks that his love is all our children need......
What bothered me this week is an ex- husband that promises my kids that he is going to take them to Disneyworld in the summer, but has not paid child support since May 2007......
What bothered me this week is an ex-douche bag that tells his kids that he got remarried by showing them pictures and letting them guess....
What bothered me this week is an ex-douche bag that wants to question my parenting skills and love, when he has only seen them 4 times since March of this year and every time he has seen them he has a new "FRIEND" with him.....
What bothered me this week is that no matter how hard it is economically on everyone, my children's schools have not gotten the message.... everyday there is something we need to send money for.... fund raisers..... adopt a pet...... book fair.... year books, which by the way are about $52 each and I have 2 kids who want one..... basketball sign ups $73.... new basketball shoes apx. $50.... cheer leading sign ups $76.... new tennis shoes apx. $50...... but ex-douche bag is right, LOVE can pay for all that, right?.....
All right, I am done, sorry if I have offended any douch bags out there by comparing you to my ex- husband.....

Yikes! I can't believe that school stuff is that expensive now! (I believe it, but it's crazy.) My daughter's only two, so we don't have to deal with that yet.
I say get all your anger out there. It's your blog and sometimes it helps to let it out.
Venting feels good sometimes, doesn't it? My ex doesn't have the child support issue (thank God) but he bothers me with the other things you mentioned. I will never understand how he feels simply paying what the court orders makes him a good dad, when I provide 100% of everything else she needs, including simply being PRESENT and NOT parading different 'friends' in and out of her life on a regular basis. Grrrrr.
Sorry... didn't mean to vent on YOUR blog :( I'm done now :)
First of all, the only thing that offended me was your apology in advance! No need for that!
Wow. I'm sorry you are having to deal with such a *!^# of an ex! That sucks.
I got so fed up with the amount needed at school for this, this and that, I finally started sending an email asking to break down the cost for me. Yes, I am now one of THOSE parents.
Oh! BTW, your random letter is...
D!
jennie. girl. i LOVE it when you speak from your heart. you have important things to say. that's why we read your blog. so say it like you mean it. there's no way to sugar coat a douche bag (eww...thank goodness).
I happen to have 2 exes (a high school sweetheart and a ex-hubbs) anyway, they both lost their jobs in January of this year. Both lost their jobs because they were idiots not because of downsizing or any of that horrible stuff that is happening to others out there. Their own stupidity lost them their jobs!
Niether of them paid me any child support from January until August of this year. And then when they did get jobs to pay their support they both filed for a ammendment to have it lowered! Jackasses!
So I am on your side 100%!
Shoot, who wouldn't be bothered by all that?
Oh gag - I have one of those, too.
Hugs and glad I "found you" today! I'll be back (:
Ugh. Remind me not to get divorced...and if I DO get divorced...remind me to start stashing money in a secret account! What a pain.
