Okay so I got this email from my dad today:

"I sure hope you know that we love you both very much and enjoy the interaction. We will have to talk about the conversation that happened last night when we get an opportunity. There are two sides to every situation. I have to run."

Problem here is that we didn't have a conversation last night. I have no idea what he is talking about. SO I call him and tell him that I have no clue and he says "oh, well it just must have been me then. I'll talk to you when you get home tomorrow."

Ummm . . . lol . . . . I have no idea what conversation he had cause I wasn't involved but I tell you what, kind of freaks me out a bit.

Sarah, do you think that it could be about the conversation that you had with your sister?? Maybe your sister told him about it and he wants to talk to you...Or maybe they're finally going to tell you they found you in a pod out in the field that was icy cold and steaming....Upon opening the pod green ooze began to flow, and a column rose into the air with a tiny basket that held what looked to be a banana nut muffin. Upon taking the muffin home, your parents set it on the counter and it soon began to rain. Since the roof was in shoddy disrepair, rain managed to seep into the roof and began to drip on the muffin causing it to sprout into what we all now know and love as Sarah....Just a thought...

My sister better hope on her life that she wasn't talking to my dad about that conversation but I wouldn't be surprised as she was talking to my mom and to her fiancee that same night. I ended up getting a message from her fiancee that said "tell your sister you love her." So apparently it was me in the wrong.

Anwyay, I have no idea. My dad did see me freak out a few weeks ago after a tif with my stepmom and I used some very strong words and said some things that he's never heard me say before so that probably scared him a bit.

Nice story, Joey, btw...the whole pod thing....

Boy Sarah, holiday gatherings must be a blast in your family. Don't sweat it. We'll be your proxy family until this whole thing blows over. Try and keep your and let everyone speak their mind. You are doing just fine with Kai. I rest my case.

Would seem to me that he knows about the sister situation and is concerned or worried about it....
It would also seem that he fears your reaction would be to distance yourself and Kai from them....

Sit down and talk it out....I'm sure you can work it out for the good....

If not let me know...I'll see if I can hook you guys up to go on Jerry Springer and settle it....LMAO....

Wow, Joey! You have quite the active imagination! And you're not a bad storyteller! lol

Could we please try harder to not use that word... lol

i would bet that your sister went to your dad as well. it seems he knows you well enough to know your gut reaction was to distance yourself as you said here. and he apparently does not want that. all good stuff.

they love you. they love kai. they want to see you both. leverage that to your advantage.

"look, you guys know kai and i love you and want to spend time with you. but if you can not treat me with respect then for kai's sake i am going to have to distance myself from you for a while so that i can model to her a positive happy loving mom. all this family politicing is bad for me and bad for her and i wont expose her to it. i hope we can work this out because we would both really miss spending time with you. i love you"

then.... what will soon be 'the laurie words' SHUT UP. the next person that speaks loses. SHUT UP and let them fumble. dont soften it. dont back down, say your piece and SHUT UP! boy that really does come in handy. LOL keep us posted - and good luck bugaboo!

You so wise Laurie. Really. Can I hire out your services sometime? I'm taking Rob to see his "other" grandmother next week and I need a good lesson in holding my tongue. LOL

Have a bowl of scalding hot soup right before you go and burn the snot out of your tongue...
It's the only way I've learned to keep my tongue in my mouth...

lol....I need to use that sometime. Very good HB

My dad called me after work last night and said that he thought I was upset about a conversation that my stepmom, older sister (not the "nosey" one) about the van that I'm driving and the money I'm getting from the escort. My stepmom asked me who is getting the money and I flat out said "my bank account." Apparently, my stepmom told my dad what I said and to make this longer a$$ story short, my stepmom was upset cause she thought the money should go to her.

My dad is trying to keep the peace right now because he knows what Michele is trying to do and what she always tries to do when she runs out of money . . . she tries to blame me living here for her money issues. lol Its really quite annoying at times.

I wont get into too much detail, but I do pay for my everything!!! and I do pull my weight with chores around the house, their house and I help when they need things.

I told my dad that if she wants money for the van I will basically go and get a new vehicle and just deal with the car payment that I can't afford right now. He said he understands and he is trying to get it through my stepmom that right now, I just need some help.

See my stepmom thinks that because after her first divorce that since she had her 2 kids for a whole YEAR before meeting my dad that during that time of her being a single mom, that things are still the same as they were in 1980. Mind you she worked 70 hour weeks, had other people with her kids 24/7 and basically didn't do anything. I am choosing to accept help from my dad and try to be a good mom for Kai. Which I'm doing.
