SS21 Yelled at Me This Morning

BettyRay's picture

I was vacuuming this morning (6:30 a.m..) and SS21 barrels out of his room and asks me why I vacuum in the morning. I told him that since no one helps with the housework and I'm the only one who does it that I get to decide when I want to do it. I don't like doing it at night when I get home for work so I do it before work.

SS21 yells at me that his trying to sleep because he's got an exam today. Then SS21 then tells me that he won't be quiet at night so I can sleep.

Vaping Update

When SS17 got to our house last week Friday DH had him take the drug test. SS17 didn't test positive for anything, which is awesome.

We talked with him about how dangerous vaping is especially because he has asthma. He also lost his bedroom door for lieing to us. DH took it off the hinges and set it in his room next to the doorway which I think is funny. DH and I will let him have it back after SS17 passes another drug test a couple of weeks from now. SS17 doesn't know about the upcoming drug test.

Want to Skip Christmas

This month has been awful.

DH was fired from his job of 15 years the Thursday after Thanksgiving. He was interviewing the last two weeks and started a new job this week. It's awesome how well he bounced back. I don't think I could have done it. This has really shaken me up, my stress level has been through the roof but I've been keeping it in, just want to support DH right now.

DH Said "I'm starting to think like you."

DH was home with the flu yesterday.

SS21 left before I did yesterday morning, which I thought was odd since he doesn't have to be at school till after 10 AM on Mondays.

When I got home last night I commented to DH that SS21 left before I did.

DH said, "Yes, SS21 was probably afraid I'd ask him to help me do something, so he left. See, BettyRay, I'm starting to think like you."

I asked DH if he believed that and he said that he did because every time I've called SS21 out on something I have been right.

Grades 2 D's

SS21 was kind enough to ruin DH's Birthday last week by telling us he's pulling a D in 2 classes. Of course it's not SS21's fault it's always the professor's fault. *eye roll* SS21 told DH at least the grades are passing.

After SS21 left to "study". I told DH whether SS21 graduates or not, there is no way in hell that man-child is living with us after May 25. I'm done.  DH agreed and then asked me if I would higher an mechanical engineer with 2 D's on his transcript?  

SS21 in hiding

So after the "petty" incident SS21 has been getting up after we leave in the morning and coming home late at night.

I am convinced he's doing his to avoid me. Which makes my life way easier.

When SS21 does run into me he is being halfway pleasant, which is a huge change for him.

I have started vacuuming before I leave for work in the morning.

I give extra attention to the carpeting in the hallway in front of SS21's bedroom door. 

I'm Petty

So SS21 and I got into it.

We had finished dinner and SS21 asked DH if there was anything he could do to help.

Knowing DH would say SS21 didn't have to help, I jumped in told SS21 that he could vacuum the living and dining rooms.

SS21 barks at me, "No, that it's SS16's week to vacuum".

I shot back and told SS21 he didn't do it the week before which was his week.

DH jumps in and tells SS21 to shut up and a vacuum.

SS21 tells DH that he doesn't like BettyRay's tone.

I left the room.

Midnight Snacking

Just a warning, my petty is real today.

DH and I are both getting over colds.  We went grocery shopping for the week on Sunday. DH made Sunday dinner early so SS21 could eat before he went to school to work on a lab.  

SS21 got home after we went to bed Sunday night.

Monday morning DH opens the fridge to get the lunch meat to make his sandwich and it's gone, nothing left. We bought almost 2 lbs. of lunch meat Sunday.

I text SS21 when I got to work and ask him to pick up lunch meat on his way home from school Monday night.

SS21's Temper Tantrum

SS21 wants a new cellphone.

He was complaining to DH and I on Friday that the power button on his cell sticks and that a new Galaxy was coming out and it was time for an upgrade. SS21 knows better than to ask us for a new cell, he knows we'd flat out tell him NO.  

So Saturday SS21 "dropped" his cell in the lake when we got back from tubing. 

Sunday night SS21 is at BM's wanting her to buy him a new cell phone. BM said no and that he could either buy his own or use her old one.

Back from Vacation

DH and I had an awesome time! SS16 was with us for a couple of days; then left because of work. We had a few days alone.  Celebrated our anniversary - just the two of us - had a great day and nice dinner. I think this is the first time we've been alone for our anniversary. Normally the SSons are with us.
