I hate this whole situation with DH's ex. This should probably be in the rant section because that is what it is.
I never know when Anna will be coming. We should be getting her sometime soon for most of the summer, but I ask Shawn when and he has no clue. There have been times that I didn't know till the week before she came down.I guess they just think I can pull a new budget for the extra food,etc.... out of my @ss. The fact is if I don't budget for the extras on pay day, then the extra is NOT there.we get paid every other week.
Ok...so here it is summer....she should be out of school soon(they go longer up there because of more snow days) and no one has a clue when she is coming. I signed the boys up for the summer reading program today and was going to sign her up too, but how can I when I don't know if she will stand a chance of being able to complete it? I got tickets for the animal program at the collage next week....I didn't know if she would be here so I got an extra ticket....they are limited so if she isn't here I could have just wasted a perfectly good ticket someone else could use. I want to sign the kids up for some of the other programs, but again they are limited registration and I don't want to waste a spot, yet I don't want to screw the kids out of the programs. I had the opportunity to sign her up for a free tennis camp which I think she would have liked , but no one can tell me if she would be here for the deadline registration date(she has to be present to see what she knows and what her skills are to put her in the right group.). So she will probably miss out on something really cool. When anyone ask her mother all she says is "she's working on figuring it out, she'll let us know".
The worst of it is Anna is the one getting the most screwed. All the summer programs I would love to put her in so she could make friends and have a life this summer will either be full or closed and she will miss out. Why is it I am the only one who gives a crap that their daughter is going to lose out!? I mean, for me it's just a matter of juggling money....for her it's her whole summer, the differance between having a great time and being bored stiff.

I hope that they get things figured out soon!
