NOTHING!
I had friends over on Sunday for a cocktail afternoon. Stopped at the liquor Sunday and got strawberry puree for strawberry margaritas.
Never ended up making strawberry ones just regular ones.
I open the fridge just now and notice that it's not where I left it and it's half empty. Like wtf. Seriously. It's not for strawberry f'n milk or something!!
I text SO and say whoever used it owes me $8. He responded with "I told SS21 he could use it. I'll buy you another one."
Uh oh. DH is showing signs of Father of the Year regression. Two red flags just today.
We ran into a friend at lunch, who was upset about a rift with his adult son. So DH starts giving him "advice." I did not snort my drink out my nose, but it was close there.
I am extremely thankful that my Dad is okay post-hurricane. His area was hit hard. But the house is livable with only minor damage. No power, but he has food to eat. This Daddy's Girl is so relieved! Feel like a boneless pile of goo now that the tension is gone from my muscles.
To everyone who sent prayers and good vibes, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
So as he was dictating invoices, apparently I made a mistake by charging this extremely cheap woman / slumlord with more money than God a standard service call. I have never met this woman but she must be good looking because Chef cuts her all kinds of breaks on her bills.
Anyway she got the invoice and wrote back in the email that it's not her invoice because she thought putting in two whole new air conditioner parts would be free for her including the refrigerant which is very expensive.
It was a fairly quiet summer and start to the school year. SS13 is in his final year of middle school. And now it appears an old problem may be back.
With the next hurricane set to pass right over Little Idiot, DH has been (moderately) worried about her welfare. He's not at panic level... she is on the opposite side of the state as to where it will make landfall... but none the less, he's concerned. Me? I'm concerned too. I'm concerned for the people and animals of FL anytime they get hit with a storm. I just am not concerned for Little Idiot. Honestly a hurricane could wash her away and it would just be one less stress in my life. I feel awful for feeling that way but again, I do. My heart goes out to everyone else however.
I just need a vent.
I(32f) am just so tired of being blamed when something happens. I recently moved, and it was just expected that I would be the one to enroll the kids (11BS, 13SS) in their new schools. It wasn't an ask, It was an assumption.
I was able to enroll my bio-son just fine, it was a different school district, all online. Plus, as his bio parent, I had all of his information accessible and ready to go.
So last time I wrote, I mentioned that DH seemed to be backtracking and was asking to have to his kids over to sleep over. Mind you ss24 has a gf, a 1 year old and one on the way. His gf has an apartment via way of her dad, and they live about an hour drive away.
Well…I probably shouldn’t have done this but I snooped and saw that SS asked DH to move back in. More specifically he stated “me and gf were talking and want to move back in the house to create that close family dynamic”.
Just curious if you have a favorite flying experiences?
I will say I have a habit of looking in awe at the cockpit while they have the door open.
Because some of these pilots looking like snacks!
Wish I knew what all those knobs meant and how to fly a plane but it seems like it would be extremely complicated and my brain would not compute lol (although I'm an excellent pilot of a road vehicle like a car or van)
BM's notarized and signed travel consent letter arrived in the mail today. DH and I held our breaths as we opened it... It is literally the exact same letter DH sent BM, aside from her rewording a few phrases like "consent" instead of "authorize" and spelling out SS's birthdate instead of xx/xx/xxxx format we put. She also shifted the signature spot from the right side of the paper to the left.
