Expectations

Sweetie's picture

Well, it has been quite a week. I am a horrid, flaunting, stepmother. But I do have one stepson, that is still talking to me and he is coming to visit next month. And for that, I am grateful that he finally got himself together. Because it took a long time but at least he had more sense and didn't let his anger get the best of him. And I have 3 dogs that vary in age who are all sweet that I referee who are glad for my attention. And a husband that loves me and tells me don't worry about my SD, he will deal with her later. For the next year, she will continue to get the cold shoulder, and after that, the purse strings will be snatched back. And knowing my husband like I do, he isn't likely to forget what she has done. He told me yesterday, that my SD just basically screwed herself when she started writing all this mean and hateful stuff in the blogs. But, I just can't understand, how someone can be so hateful and why they wouldn't want to see their Dad happy with someone? I guess it has to do with some very warped thinking. As I've said before, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree (meaning her Mom).
All in all, it's been a peaceful day here in GA. The sun is shining and I am waiting for pest/termite control to come out this afternoon. We worked outside on some landscaping yesterday, trying to clean up some of the scraggly, unkempt overgrown stuff that had been left by the previous owners yesterday. And I had to call the county about some drainage ditches that were draining properly so they are supposed to be looked at this week. But I hope that the rest of you had great weekends. I had our dogs out over the weekend, and my five year old greyhound rescue surprise me yet again yesterday. I let him off the lead and called him and he came back to me after his run immediately. He didn't even want a treat and was just satisfied to sit down at my feet and be petted. It was such a nice surprise! With the way everything else has been, and getting dissed on my SD's blog, and now she loves everyone but me, you can imagine how great that feels! Hope all of you have a week that starts off great!
Regards,
Sweetie
