I TRIED to look on the bright side.....Honest!

The Hydra has awoken from her post Wal-Mart night shift slumber.

And she is pissed.

Rewind two weeks:

After she spent yet another horrible evening arguing with her and Mr. Misery's son, The Hydra relents and does the unbelievable.

She agrees to allow their son to live with us.

Of course we don't believe it, but the very next day she calls Mr. Misery to assure him that she is serious. She says she "just can't handle him anymore". As soon as the school year is out, he can come with us.

So naturally, we spring into action, making preparations for his arrival like we are expecting a new baby.

We furniture shop, view pictures of his new school, explore the surrounding area via the internet, all of us are getting excited now.

Then, Mr. Misery's daughter decided to speak her mind.

Now all along, she led us to believe that she was fine with her current situation at her mother's. We talked to her, let her know she was welcome to live with us anytime. But, all of these talks ended with her saying "I'll think about it".

Well think about it she most certainly did!

During her last visit with us, she delivered a well thought out, intelligent speech.

"Daddy, I am sick of having to go to Mom mom's every night. If mommy won't change her hours, I would rather live with you."

Mom mom.

Envision Ms. Ballbreaker from Porky's.......add about 50 lbs, and 20 years.

Thats Mom mom.

Even more nasty than the Hydra.

She constantly berates Mr. Misery to the children, begs them to come live with her. She has told Mr. Misery that both he and his ex are un-fit parents. He even had to have a special section added into his custody agreement barring Ms. Ballbreaker from sticking her fat nose in anything that had to do with the children! As if the courts would do anything.........

I digress.

Mr. Misery is truly convicted that he needs to make sure his daughter's wants and needs are known. He schedules a time to meet with The Hydra.......finally after 3 attempts (dragging her out of her coffin into sunlight after a Wal-Mart shift is NOT an easy task), but, eventually, she concurs.

The "talk" lasted about 5 minutes, the Hydra's only comments being "are you done yet" while the little girl was spilling her guts, and ended up with the Hydra, tenticles flailing, screaming the question "WHY DO YOU ALL HATE ME"? She comments that Mr. Misery will NEVER GET HER CHILDREN, then she smokes a cigarette, tells Mr. Misery to "get the fuck out of her house" and runs back to her crypt, leaving the children agape at the kitchen table.

As you can imagine, the kids are even more screwed up. AND she is taking Mr. Misery back for more support.

THIS CREATURE OF THE NIGHT is a suitable caregiver for children??

ZERO TOLERANCE

Am I wrong to find this funny?

Today I received a voice mail from the Vice Principal at my son's school.

My son was issued a detention that is to be served on Tuesday.

10 different scenarios flew through my head at once. What did he do? Was he fighting? beat up a teacher? cheating? issued a bomb threat? WHAT HAPPENED???!

Mr. Vice Principal then told me, in that authoritative way that Vice Principals speak, "the school has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for gum chewing."

What a Drama Queen.

Rules are rules, but really, is all this drama necessary?

Apparently, I am not alone!!!

Poor, poor impoverished DICK.......

I put $300.00 down as a deposit for my daughter's Senior Trip. I gave a copy of the paperwork for the trip to DICK to review with a note requesting he cover half, also another note enclosed contained both kid's yearbook information and a request to cover half of each.

I WATCHED my daughter hand him the envelope. Both children SAW him take it.

As the school year wore on, she was told if she didn't have the next installment of her senior trip money in within a week, she could not go.

I called DICK about it and he responded in his usual moronic way with: "I never got any note from you about anything, and I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY anyway".

So of course, she missed her ONCE IN A LIFETIME Senior Trip because he "DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY".
ALL he had to do was make a measly $100.00 installment payment and she'd be going.

NOTE: The DICKs NEW family contains a Senior. His Trip was to PARIS. You can bet your ass his NEW child went on his Senior Trip. Even brought something back for my daughter.

Why did I ever marry such a NARCISSTIC DICK?

At this moment, the horrible things running through my mind are even too much to post on a blog.

Its my daughter's Senior Prom.



Once in a lifetime.

She found a dress and called her father for a deposit to put down on it.

If her father is anything, he is consistent.

His response when he is asked for financial help is "I don't have any money".

"I Don't Have Any Money" is his mantra.

So, as usual, her step-father picks up the slack for her inept, selfish, narcisstic father.

Mr. Misery pays the down-payment.

Don't get me wrong, this would be a sufficient excuse if he were really as impoverished as he claims to be.

But he isn't.

Perhaps, owning only ONE home would increase his cash flow? Less vacations? Less toys? (game tables, a motorcycle, boat, guns, ..........you get the point, right?)

and........

MAYBE THE NARCISSTIC DICK SHOULD STOP TELLING HIS CHILDREN HOW "GREAT" HE IS DOING FINANCIALLY!!

Maybe then he could pull off the poverty stricken image!

Dumb Ass.
