Home security systems and creepers

The night before last, my dh and I were in bed and he heard my phone ring. He was watching Colbert, but I was asleep, so he didn't think anything of it. I text my neighbor the next day to see what she needed and she told me she had called because their was a man in our bushed looking in our windows. She called the police, but didn't know our actual addy so the police didn't stop. She said that when the police approached the man ran off.

Chicago

We're going to Chicago next week with all the kids and I only have a couple things that I really want to do while we are there. I must go to the Luckey Climber thhay have there. I think the kids will be into it, but mostly I don't even care, I think these climbing sculptures look rad.

Is anyone familiar with Chicago, any recommendations about where to eat things to see, interesting places-kid friendly or not?

We're going to visit my MIL who lives up there, but she's not got anything planned, which is good. I think I am going to take my oldest son and step daughter to the art museum while husband takes my youngest and his youngest to L*G* L*and (little plastic snap in place blocks-land) other than that we got nothing--

Custody agreement

My husband and his ex have finally finshed the parenting agreement, and we can all finally move on with our lives. I didn't post here because this blog was being watched, and we all know custody agreement issues can get really heated. I'm hesitant to post any details or anything because I think we all really do just want to move on with our lives, and I don't want to neg it out. However, I cannot deny that my feelings are still pretty raw about how it all happened. A time line of sorts
-my husband and announced our engagement in 09-crazy custody sitution blew up 2 weeks later-5.11 judge signs agreement.

My husband's ex came across very vindictive and angry, and arrogant. I am not sure, but I don't think she feels that way anymore. I think in a weird way we could almost be friends. My husband has two kids with two baby moms, and when this one isn't the arrogant, angry, vindictive combo, we actually prefer to deal with her.

I guess what I am feeling is a lot of resentment towards her, but I also feel a pull to let that go, because I know that a lot of us at various times in life have made lame decisions based on anger and fear and I know there's no point in living in the past. I also think that she is a really talented artist, and I respect that.

I think that everyone is happy with the agreement though.

So, coming out of the perma lurk I have been in for a while now. Reading, but not posting I saw a sharp decline in posters especially after the FB page, and a couple of new to me posters here and there. I don't post on FB because I use my husband's account and it feels weird to post under his name in that group. I always used his account because I am not really active on FB, and never really wanted to be until the Hm group got active over there.

I definitely want to post again here though!

Stay out or Join the Argument

I don't like arguing over Universal Health care. I seem to always run across people who say things that really run all over me, and make me feel like I need to respond. Then I think--what's the point? This person is set in his/her way, and if I respond it will set this person off---Also, in regards to the specific people I am thinking of, they are always super snarky and act like I am simpleton.
OTOH, I feel like I am letting myself and loved ones down when I don't speak up and speak out about my opinions. I'm just really into peaceful living, and so far I keep having to "hide" updates from people on FB who are relatives or friends that I wouldn't feel comfortable completely deleting.
