Ok CRUSH fans--here's another update. As you know, we just celebrated another major holiday here in the U.S. And it was??? Yep--Valentine's Day. If you're lucky you got a card from you sweetie. OR if you were extra sweet this year maybe you got to go out to dinner OR even somewhere for an overnight get-away. OR, if you happen to be 10 and have a CRAZY mother--you get STUFF! If you enjoyed the Christmas photos, here are the lastest gifts Steven received from his "mommy" for Valentine's Day. And of course, she left the price tags on everything. For her own amusement, Sweet Beth counted up the number of $$$ spent of this collection of JUNK! It totalled over $460.00. I know! I know! It's just junk--it can't have added up to all of that. But this isn't regular junk. Most of it was "special delivery" junk--delivered by the local florist. Three different trips to be exact. Lucky Steven you may be thinking! But when you were a 10-year-old boy, did you really want your mommy delivering a large stuffed penguin (with 12 attached balloons) to you at your school in front of your friends? Didn't think so! And, that dollar amount didn't take into consideration the amount of money spent on shipping. Steven got three big boxes last week alone, not to mention cards, cards, and more cards coming in the mail.
On to the next question you have forming in your mind? Nope, they haven't received one cent of child support. But Steven . . . Steven thinks he's got the best "mommy" in the world. A decent guy just can't win!

(Be sure to click on the images to see what all those treasures really are. You'll see macaroni and cheese, kleenex, pop, Campbell's soup, magazines, and several of those little milar balloons on sticks. Now, what are Keith and Beth to tell their girls about "gift giving"? Kind of makes you sick, doesn't it?)

It just makes you sick! No kid needs all that stuff all in one day.

Whats with the 12 pack of Sprite. I thought that was one thing that Steve wasn't supposed to have.??
What happened did she forget her own rules about her son??
And what is with the gardening mag? does this kid really have any interest WHATSOEVER in crap like that? NASCAR maybe, but then again, the noise, pollution and what all might make the kid too sick to know he is having fun.
Seriously unbelievable!!! My kids were happy with a card and a small bag of candy. WOW!!
Boy I am a bad mother, my boys only got some chocolate and some cologne that I got on a sale after christmas. Gosh I feel bad now! Poor Keith and Beth, how do they begin to explain this to the girls and to Steven that this is not normal. Gosh I feel so bad for them and I also admire them a lot. They always try to do what is right and they can never win.
God Bless Them!

Believe it or not, even Steven said, "Another package!" when the last one showed up. He knows this isn't normal, and he was very happy with the home-made card we gave him and our girls, along with a small heart box of 4 chocolates. And to his credit he does share it with his siblings. However, its easy to do that when you have a lot. We're working on him sharing when he doens't have much... but that hasn't happened yet. K B
oh man, this girl gives new meaning to the phrase "psycho chick." I'm surprised that she would send prepackaged Mac N' Cheese to a child w/ health problems--that stuff could kill a healthy child!
