Hi Orange~ Yes, I've already thought about getting a bigger water bowl. The one I have now is big enough for a chihuahua to bathe in, though. Hey, if I get a pail, then SDog won't be able to get any water. He's too short...No, that's too mean. He's a stupid, helpless dog.

As far as the tstats, unhooking the wires would be pure evil. }:) Is that the direction I'm headed in? I'm thinking of the Skids as roommates at this point, just minding my own business and cleaning up after myself. I actually worry more about my dogs going without AC, but they are dogs, they'll survive. LOL Just frustrated tonight. Maybe the full moon is coming, lol.

Yes, Sally, I guess I really have fully disengaged. I have finally sunk to her level and I am treating her the way she always treats me. Let her f'n savings account run out. Let her buy cheap clothes that she doesn't take care of. You think DH is monitoring all of that? He may chose to tell her that she needs to work more once she runs out of money, though. I guess she has about another year or so if she is frugal with her savings....I looked and she has spent $400 on clothes since Jan 1st. Ok, so that's what teen girls do. $300 of it was just spent in July. Gosh she thinks everything is going to be free when she gets older. She's kind of in between being a kid and an adult right now....but I will continue to remind DH that she is "19" and if she wants something, she will have to get off her ass and earn it.

Can't wait until I charge her for her cell phone next summer!! I'm putting my foot down on that one!!

Oh and DH texted me yesterday that SD19 got an A in her summer math class. I felt like writing back, "That's because she took the AP version in high school and has had it before. She was just to lazy to get the AP credit by blowing the exam!" But I didn't.

DH just called me, asking what I did with all of SD19's boxes from when she moved out of the dorms, home from college last May. Oh, you mean the ones that she just piled on the floor in the corner of the bsmt where our puppy could get to them? I put them wherever they would fit on the storage shelves, she'll have to work and look for them. Tell her the boxes that don't say anything on them would be a good place to start. Because all of my/our stuff in storage from our move last year is LABELED with a big fat Sharpie. Great, now she's going to tear apart the basement.

Evidently, SD19 is looking for some special canvas art pencils to draw something for DH's niece's wedding this fall. Isn't it just speshul that DH can call me and expect me to know EXACTLY where I put SD19's boxes? There are still blankets from her dorm that are in our sitting room from May. She made it in from the garage and her mantra last May was ,"I don't have any room for that upstairs." I remember I even asked her one time to take some papers up to her room that her father had asked her to hold on to. They were the insurance protection papers for her iPhone5. She said she didn't have "room" in her bedroom for them. You stoopid Skid. I let them sit on the kitchen table for two days and then threw them out. The latest is her prescription since she's always PMSing....the packet had been on the table since the weekend. I moved it when I made dinner one night this week. She hasn't taken the packet from the side counter in the kitchen. It's days are numbered.

Yes, Sally, PMS does NOT exist with my SD19....it's just her real personality lol.

I pulled up from work to the trash can blocking our driveway. Stupid trash man left it there. Stupid Skids didn't bring it in. Nor did they bring in the mail. I got out of my car, put the trash can on the curb and pulled up to the house. The trash can is still out there for DH to see when he gets home.

I came in and threw some trash into the kitchen can, only to see a SDog maxi pad in there. He's in diapers now for marking in the house. SD19 was right in the kitchen drawing and I ignored her when I came in, only saying hello to my dogs. Of course she didn't greet me, why would she? I turned to her and asked, "Did you put SDog's diaper in this trash can?" No, it was YSD. "SDstb13, come here, please." She comes up from the bsmt. I ask if she changed the SDog's diaper and she said she did. I asked her to get a plastic grocery bag and to wrap it up so we wouldn't have to see it/smell it every time we threw something out. She stood there and reached into the trash and wrapped it up. G }:) }:) D. You know I don't tolerate the maxi pad thing, no matter who was wearing them.
I humiliated her. She is a doofus.

I worked all day, why should I contribute any more than my paycheck today lol?

SD19 is the same way with water bottles. When she was an athlete in hs she had enough water bottles in her car to build a raft with! I haven't checked her room in awhile so who knows?

Yes, I was going to suggest a mini-fridge for your boudoir with your treats in it. TGIHB on here had to do that. I think she might even have a lock on it, lol. I'm sure she'll chime in here about her Piglet and let us know.....lol

We were all just in the kitchen finishing dinner when SD19 came back from the gym. At dinner time. Whatever. I was clearing my place and throwing things away and DH asked me if there was another burger for SD19. Of course there was, you grilled it. He was basically asking me to SERVE her plate. Um, NO. DH was being his usual happy self and I had to force myself NOT to serve her.

ow he says a dog peed in the LR today. That's where I don't hang out anymore, so I can't help you all. Sorry.

*DUP* whut

*DUP* sorry

My DH is like that, too. I usually give in because it gets SDstb13 out of the house. If she wants to go to a sleep over I explain that her chores haven't been done and she hasn't showered, which is always the case. DH will tell her what she needs to do and it's done in an hour. Well that was months ago, she's changed now.

SDstb13 hasn't showered since Tuesday morning and it was gross at dinner. I didn't say anything to her. I know I shouldn't have, but later in private I told DH that it was gross and I didn't want her eating dinner with me when she hadn't showered for DAYS. He said he would make her shower this weekend. I'll try to keep my mouth shut.

The latest is SD19 and the phone charger. She got a new iPhone5 3 weeks ago and already ruined her charger. Evidently its a very small tab that plugs into the phone. I have one for my iPad Mini. Anyway, she asks SDstb13 for HER charger last weekend. Every night I see text messages between the two, popping up on the MacBook, where SD19 is asking for the damn charger. Last night when we only had SDstb13 at dinner, I told DH that he needs to make SD19 go buy a charger ASAP and leave the younger Skid alone. It just isn't fair that she's getting picked on, even though they both are annoying me right now.

DH sent SD19 to the store at 8:30pm last night and SD19 calls because they are SOLD OUT of that type of charger. Bwahahahah! DH suggests another store next door, but they are closed, I believe. I suggest the damn Verizon store. SD19 passes it twice on days she goes to work. "Oh no, it's too expensive there," replies DH. I told him too bad and to make sure the NEW charger goes to SDstb13.

Why? Because in 6 short days, SD19 has managed to start ruining SDstb13's charger. Little pins or wires are starting to stick out from the tab. I told him to send her to the next city over today and have her get a damn charger at the mall. End of story. Funny how this drama is playing out. SD19 has ruined TWO charges since early July, the one just in the past week, which SDstb13 has had since Christmas for her iPodTouch.

SD19 will have SO MUCH to contribute to the world one day.

I'm just mad because she sat home on her lazy ass all of these days this week when she should have bought the charger.

Update to the phone chargers from two posts up.....LMAO

The charger from the grocery store died today. At the hands of SD19, when this was supposed to be SDstb13's replacement charger. Evidently SD19 has continued to use it. This is the third charger in 3 weeks! She only bought it last Saturday. SDstb13 said SD19 was having a mental break down today because the charger wasn't working. So, SD19 took SDstb13 up to Walmart to look for more chargers. All they could find were the USB chargers at $18/each. I have been monitoring SD19s bank account and it came as no surprise when YSD said that OSD didn't have enough money to buy two. So SDstb13 had to use her own money!! I just gave SDstb13 cash to replace what she had to spend and I will be transferring the amount out of SD19's account into mine, once her paycheck clears. I told SDstb13 to keep quiet about the transaction. We can tell her later, or not. }:)

Turns out, SD19 was snooping through my bedroom looking for my iPad mini charger! I put it in my purse 3 weeks ago when this fiasco started. Glad I did. SD19 had never gone through my room looking for stuff before, but this time she was desperate. I just went and hid DHs adapter box that goes from wall outlet to USB, and I encouraged SDstb13 to do the same before SD19 gets home. SD19 was using SDstb13's adapter this afternoon with the new USB charger! OMG these skids are morons. SD19 has to have a new adapter because she got her new phone at the beginning of July. I told YSD to hide it or else it would end up going to the beach with SD19 and she would never see it again.

I told SDstb13 that her sister would be too lazy to get her own adapter box out of her room, and with any luck would break YSD's which was in the kitchen. So YSD and I both have all of our stuff hidden. I hope this doesn't start a pissing match tonight. This is DH's first night out of town.

Fingers crossed.
