Last-Wife's Blog
Thanks ST friends for the advice... my skid manipulated me, and what happened next...
After reading posts to one of my recent blogs, I realized I had let PITA 16 manipulate me. I thought I was just trying to deal with it on my own when PITA said, "What? Are you just going to cry to Dad?" when he treated me poorly the other night. I thought it would look like I had handled it on my own, but after reading what everyone said, I realized the skid got exactly what he wanted- he insulted me, and got away with it, and since I didn't tell Loghead, the skid got a quiet night playing the new Xbox game.
Thanksgiving plans
Just found out Lazy Boye went to HER house for the weekend. I hope they all remember they are supposed to go to her house for Thanksgiving, and I hope Loghead enforces that... Yes, her cooking could kill them, but it wouldn't hurt to get outta my hair for at least the afternoon... I love every other year when I get Thanksgiving "off." We'll be ordering in pizza again this year...

OT- Calling all Harry Potter fans! (no spoilers allowed)
Loghead and I went to the midnight show last night. It's been a tradition for us- ever since movie 4 came out. I am a HUGE Potter fan, so we've been planning this night for months. Loghead arranged to get Gibby home and in bed before coming back into towm (30 miles from home) to meet me in line. We were first! That thrilled me, since I've been first in line for each HP movie and each Twilight movie. (Yes, i love wizards, vampires and werewolves- I clearly have issues...)
Kharma...
Loghead is quite angry with the boys tonight... When I asked him why, he pulled me in for a hug and said, "I don't know what they did to piss you off last night, because you wouldn't tell me. I figured it was bad, but low enough under the radar... so they are paying the price tonight."
my kitchen and bathrooms are spotless, and the Xbox is sitting on the kitchen counter, with a note that says "Shape up, or this goes to Goodwill. Dad"

Poll- clothing in your home?
I am offended when my teenage skids don't wear shirts in the house. Sometimes, late at night, after their showers, they even simply run around in their boxers...
I am wrong to be bothered by this? It's not a sexual thing. Ew. I raised them since they were 2 and 3. I am the "mom." That's just sick...
but I do see it as a modesty/respect issue. I mean, we don't allow SD to run around in her bra and panties. And Gibby, my bio-son, wears shirts and shorts in the house.

Interesting discovery this evening...
I realized the boys aren't underfoot as much now that they are older. It's easier to feel like it's just me, Gibby and Loghead. The boys are at ball practice most nights until almost 8:30, and usually by that time, I'm in bed, so a lot of the time, it's like they aren't even here, or part of the family.

Thank goodness for time and distance
Princess 18 came home unannounced Friday evening. She gave us about an hours notice she was coming home from college for the weekend. I simply told her I was glad she was coming home but that she needed to give me notice. Later, I found out she and Loghead were sad and angry about that.

Here we go again!
Loca Grande is on an upswing. She got money from somewhere. I reported that 2 weeks ago, Lazy Boye told us she bought a new car. That sent PITA over the edge. She'd promised him a car, and bailed out. She promised to pay for his braces, and bailed out. Each time, it was because she "didn't have any money."

I'm not eating that!
Why does Loca Grande insist on sending the skids home with food she cooked? Last night Lazy Boye brought home apple pie, saying she wanted me to try a piece from a new recipe she tried. I've seen Snow White! I ain't eating anything she made with apples, anything she made- PERIOD! I have seen that woman's kitchen! Eeww... I won't even feed it to the dogs! Or the cows, for that matter! LOL And then he has the nerve to tell me tonight that I need to wash up the plate so he can take it back to her. Um, wash it yourself... and next time, don't bring it here, I don't want any.

No fireworks, but nice... just what I needed
12 years pass in a flash and stretch out for an eternity, all at the same time. I spent most of my anniversary cleaning the house, doing school work, playing on FB and ST, and listening to Princess on the phone. Gibby and I got in our hour workout.
Loghead went to the woods to chop firewood with PITA and they sold 3 cords and delivered it. He came home and worked on the car. Each time he passed through the house, he kissed the top of my head, and headed back out again.
